AIMS-Workshop 1: How AIMS Brings Human Values into AI-Based Patient Safety

Can AI improve patient safety without compromising human values? This question was at the heart of the AIMS ethics workshop, held on June 2 at Johannes Kepler University Linz.

AIMS aims to improve patient safety on general hospital wards through wearable sensors and AI-based early warning models that help detect clinical deterioration at an earlier stage.

For AI to be truly beneficial in healthcare, ethical considerations must be integrated from the very beginning. Following the IEEE 7000 standard, our first workshop focused on identifying the values, needs, expectations, and potential tensions associated with the future use of the AIMS system.

We were pleased to bring together physicians, nursing staff, psychologists, pastoral care professionals, and technical experts. Their interdisciplinary perspectives generated valuable insights that will help shape the further development of AIMS.

A big thank you to all participants for their engagement and contributions. We are looking forward to our second workshop on June 16, where we will build on these results and continue translating ethical values into concrete system requirements.
