Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of the Medical Technology magazine 

In US healthcare settings, artificial intelligence (AI) is being integrated into medical devices like robotic surgery systems and diagnostic tools, while also streamlining tasks such as clinical notetaking, patient triage, and record consolidation. However, hospitals must navigate the complex relationship between AI and HIPAA compliance.

In this month's edition of the magazine of the magazine we look at the challenges of AI deployment in hospitals and the HIPAA compliance considerations to navigate.

We also look at the rising adoption of blockchain for data security in healthcare. While cyberthreats such as phishing and ransomware continue to plague the healthcare industry, the convergence of blockchain and AI is transforming the landscape of medical data security

 All this and the latest medtech industry news, comment, and analysis from GlobalData.
