The ECRI Institute's annual report highlights AI-enabled health technologies as the top health technology hazard for 2025. It emphasizes the need for healthcare organizations to monitor AI biases and ensure human oversight in patient care decisions. The report also identifies cybersecurity threats and inadequate technical support for home medical devices as significant risks.
