Healthcare Weekly AI News
September 29 - October 7, 2025This weekly update brings exciting news about AI agents changing healthcare around the world. Several countries are now using smart computer helpers to make healthcare better for everyone.
The biggest news comes from Europe, where two countries started using AI government helpers. Albania became the first country to have an AI minister named Diella. This smart computer helper will help the government make better decisions about healthcare and other important topics. Ukraine also launched DiiaAI, which is the first government AI helper that talks directly to citizens and helps them get healthcare services.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization in Europe started a new team called the Technical Advisory Group on AI for Health. This group of 10 smart people from different countries will help make sure AI helpers in hospitals are safe and fair for everyone. They picked these experts from 330 people who wanted to join, making sure they came from different places and backgrounds.
In the United States, healthcare groups got new rules about using AI helpers safely. The Joint Commission, which checks if hospitals are doing a good job, worked with other groups to make a guide called "Responsible Use of AI in Healthcare." This guide helps hospitals use AI helpers without putting patients at risk.
The US government also asked for people's ideas about laws that might stop good AI helpers from being made. They want to remove rules that make it hard to create helpful AI tools for doctors and nurses.
Experts say that 86% of hospitals already use some kind of AI helpers. These smart tools help doctors find diseases faster and take better care of patients. However, many healthcare workers still worry about keeping patient information safe when using these new technologies.
