Topic: Artificial Intelligence in Nursing: Friend or Foe?
Presenter: Siobhan O'Connor
Description: Artificial intelligence is a suite of advanced computational techniques that are being applied more and more in healthcare. While these novel techniques from machine learning to natural language processing could bring lots of benefits such as improving the diagnosis and treatment of a range of diseases, they do have limitations and introduce some risks such as bias, accountability, autonomy, transparency, copyright etc. In this presentation, the benefits of AI in nursing will be discussed along with its drawbacks and recommendations made on how to utilize AI tools and technologies to enhance patient care and professional practice as well as highlight research that needs to be done to generate evidence of the cost-effectiveness of AI in nursing and healthcare.
Bio of the presenter: Dr Siobhán O'Connor is a Senior Lecturer in the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Palliative Care at King’s College London and an Adjunct Associate Professor at Western University, Canada. She has a multidisciplinary background with bachelor’s degrees in nursing and information systems, completing her PhD in health informatics, and has nearly 20 years combined experience in industry, clinical practice, and higher education. Dr O'Connor's research focuses on co-designing, implementing, and evaluating technology in healthcare, with a particular interest in mobile health and other digital tools that can support patient self-management. She also leads the AI Nurses Network, a clinical research network on artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing. https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/en/persons/siobhan.oconnor
