There should be a new Hippocratic Oath to ensure patient safety in the modern age of medicine that includes people working in healthcare technology, according to a doctor and medical entrepreneur. Dr Jordan Shlain, Founder of Private Medical, made the comments at the CogX AI conference in King's Cross this week. The UK's medical tech sector is worth £7.6billion and employs 115,000 people across 3,700 companies. "Medicine is not just algorithms, there is a lot of humanity and emotions that goes into an interaction," he said. Highlighting the increased spending on healthcare in the UK, alongside a dip in lifespan and satisfaction scores, he said that while advances in AI have the potential to revolutionise healthcare, tech providers must distinguish consumers from patients and take responsibility for their actions.
