A collaborative approach is
important; no single partner in this
endeavour has a monopoly on
wisdom about what will work. By
working together we will be able
to explore all potential avenues of
opportunity.

phase of the Map
and Report
Let’s use AI to map AI!
Discussion – What to map / Why, e.g. support
ecosystem partners to:
• Take better decisions
o Breakthrough innovations / highly cited
papers
o Overlay w population needs, resources
• Identify/match resources, e.g.:
• Funding
• Infrastructure
• Data sets / open standards
• People with experience / skill sets /
interest
• Evidence-based solutions
• Support policy makers, e.g.:
• Implement Code of Conduct, Topol
• Map what’s happening! Stories
• OLS (support start ups)
• NHS Digital
• Specific policy: open health and care
What are the potential partnership or sponsor
opportunities?
How to work together as a Digital and AI INN on
this?
In the private market, healthcare AI startups have raised $4.3B across 576 deals since 2013, topping all other industries in AI deal activity.

theory of risk homeostasis, first proposed by the Dutch psychologist Gerald Wilde in the 1980s. The theory draws on the observation that when an activity is made safer, the rate of accidents often remains the same.
Over-trust in an imperfect automated system leads to two specific types of errors: errors of commission and errors of omission. Errors of commission occur when a person acts erroneously, and errors of omission occur when the person fails to act when they should have
The survey took place in the spring and summer of 2018 to help map the solutions that currently exist in healthcare, to form a better understanding of the AI landscape, to create a ‘go to’ directory of AI for health and social care, and to inform policy development. There was also a thought leadership survey and the findings are included in the content of the report.
Following the survey, an interactive map was devised which demonstrates where AI exists and where the compelling cases are to use it within healthcare.
The Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and NHS Digital have been working in collaboration with The AHSN Network to create the report. Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Department of Health and Social Care, and Lord O'Shaughnessy, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Department of Health and Social Care, have authored the report’s foreword.
