I’m really looking forward to speaking at #MIMSLearningLiveSouth on Friday 13 June 2025 at ILEC Conference Centre in London! I’ll be presenting on early cancer diagnosis, and I can’t wait to connect with fellow healthcare professionals, share insights, discuss challenges, & learn from each other

In these 5 years, we’ve diagnosed over 900 cancers, received fantastic patient satisfaction, and helped patients achieve a fast and streamlined diagnosis to 1000s of others including those with serious non-malignant diagnoses

🤳Social media as a platform to target health inequity 🤳Foster innovation diversity for better outcomes and system-level change 🤳Co-production with patients and lived experience input is vital 🤳Use AI to enhance, not replace, human interaction in diagnosis and management

🤳Trust is a cornerstone of health data sharing—to be considered a social determinant of health 🤳AI should aim to make care more effective and effiecent as the main outcome 🤳There are 270,000 digital health apps available, we need to bring these together into holistic health platforms

🤳Data inequities: digital health systems risk further widening health inequity taking assumptions from poor quality data; is AI = “Automating Inequity” 🤳Digital exclusion: those earning <£20k are least likely to have access to smartphones, excluding these from innovation and data collection

Dr Owen Carter (he/him) @drowencarter.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
🤳Early-phase discovery is key—ask questions, don’t go in with answers 🤳Focus on riskiest assumptions 🤳Start with the digitally excluded as the foundation for innovation AI is a tool for better care, but human connection remains critical

Key takeaways: 🤳Clinical leadership and user coproduction is essential for AI integration in healthcare 🤳Outcomes should prioritise what matters most to patients (e.g., intimacy, mobility) 🤳Involve the whole system to avoid pressure effects elsewhere (e.g., social care)

Heading home from a fantastic two days at Future Health at BMJ Future Health #BMJFH conference 🗣️ It’s been a great opportunity to network and explore AI's potential in healthcare But how can we develop these technologies without exacerbating health inequities?
