Tackling the ‘inconvenient truth’ of AI in healthcare
Ferdi Steinmann of DAM software vendor OpenText has recently posted a blog exploring the challenges of implementing AI solutions in healthcare, primarily the issue of data integration and preparation, and an update on the current state of affairs after attending this year’s Intelligent Health conference. Ferdi also explains the conundrum of having smaller players that can implement capable AI systems for niche cases, but the risk of large scale enterprise deployments is still increased due to a lack of involvement from larger software companies.

In a fascinating case study, Pam Young, Collections Documentation and Procedures Manager for the V&A explains how the museum has audited and refined its location authorities to provide a better, more organised experience for their visitors. Wayfinding is the process whereby visitors can find the exhibits and resources they need via maps, signage and the V&A’s online database. Pam takes us through the process of auditing, and how the existing free-text collections database from the 1990s required an overhaul. Over the course of three years, the low-level physical audit has given rise to new workflows, governance mechanisms and navigational aids, which all help to ensure that the location and status of every item is correct.
