PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The healthcare landscape is transforming, with artificial intelligence playing an increasingly vital role in patient care. The AISN (Artificial Intelligence in Stroke Neuro-rehabilitation) project aims to contribute to this evolution, with a strong focus on the ethical implementation of AI technologies in healthcare.

At its core, AISN works to develop practical guidelines for integrating AI into the post-stroke rehabilitation journey, while addressing key concerns around patient trust, transparency, and fairness. The integrated platform combines validated technologies for data handling, clinical interpretation, and treatment delivery – guided by carefully considered ethical frameworks.

Key objectives of AISN include:

•    Developing legal and ethical guidelines for AI deployment in healthcare
•    Exploring the ethics of brain simulations for developing neuro-rehabilitative AI models
•    Studying and improving transparency and patient acceptance of AI solutions
•    Testing AI systems in real clinical settings
•    Addressing patient privacy and data security concerns
•    Working towards explainable AI that clinicians and patients can better understand

The project seeks to move beyond traditional approaches by examining the dynamic relationship between users and AI systems, exploring how technological advancement can better align with principles of value-based medicine. AISN is contributing to the ongoing discussion of ethical AI integration in healthcare, with a focus on improving patient care.
