I-MED, Australia's largest radiology provider, has come under scrutiny for sharing de-identified patient data, including X-rays and CT scans, with an AI company without explicit consent. This action has triggered an investigation by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, especially following a previous data breach dating back to 2006. Many patients are now avoiding I-MED due to these revelations, which highlight significant gaps in privacy understanding among the public.
The partnership between I-MED and AI startup Harrison.ai, which led to the creation of Annalise.ai, aims to develop AI for radiology. However, the ethical implications of using patient data without consent raise critical questions about data governance and patient rights. As Australia seeks to enhance its health AI capabilities, the need for robust frameworks to protect patient data and ensure transparency in AI research becomes increasingly urgent.
