Artificial Intelligence: Ethics in Healthcare

DR - Anubha Dubey*
*Department of Computational Biology,

INTRODUCTION
In this computer aided technology era,  all fields  of science
involved  information  technology.  Whether  it  is
biotechnology,  bioinformatics,  nanotechnology,  etc.  All
aspects of researches need to  be ethics free so  that can be
used for human  welfare. It is  well  known that “Necessity  is
the  mother  of  Invention”  and  we  human  beings  want  all
secrets of life disclosed. Regularly different scientific groups
are  working  on  finding  vaccines  for  chronic  diseases
because  it is  the  safest way  to  be  getting  rid of  diseases.
Nowadays  artificial  intelligence  is  a  boom  in  all  areas
whether  it  is  biomedical  sciences.  It  is  amalgamation  of
computer ethics and bioethics.

ROLE  OF  NANOTECHNOLOGY  IN  ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE

Nanotechnology  will play  a crucial role  in providing  nano
devices  which  can  repair  cells,  promising  great
improvements in longetivity and quality of life, i.e., cancer,
HIV, etc. Nanotechnology proves better in understanding the
full functioning of the human body [1].  With its  molecular
mechanism/machines  all  organizational  working  is  done.
Our  body  is  fully  functional  in  all  its  own  way.  Many
bioinformatics  techniques  are  needed  to  understand  the
protein folding and  functioning in silico.  Machine learning
models  are  also  developed  for  understanding  disease,
diagnosis,  and  further  treatment  [2,3].  Machine  learning
models  also  help  to  classify  and  understand  health  care
system  in  human  by  association  or  interaction  of  genes,
enzymes,  proteins.  Nanomedicine  products  are  also
developed for healthcare are nearly available in the market.
ARTIFICIAL  INTELLIGENCE  AND  DISEASE
DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT
In  vivo  disease  detection  and  monitoring  through  micro-
electromechanical system creates  “lab-on-a-chip”  devices to
detect  cells  infected  with  bacteria/virus.  The  devices  are
manufactured  to  provide  real  time  processing  of  several
blood levels, leads  to a  strong cost benefit for people  with
chronic disease  s. Artificial intelligence provide  the digital
nurses,  personal  assistant,  health  monitoring,  etc.  AI  will
provide early and precise diagnosis. One example is AiCure,   mobile  app  that  uses  AI and  image  analysis  to  control

patient  adherence  to  prescriptions.  This  includes  making
sure patients take their medication on time and perform other
tasks ordained by their doctor. This can be useful for people
with serious medical conditions and patients who might go
against their  doctor’s prescriptions.AI models can better  use
in treatment processes on the basis of patients history [4-6].
ISSUES  AND  CHALLENGES  FOR  AI  IN

HEALTHCARE :
AI in the healthcare sector assumes substantial significance.
Law will need to implement with new innovation in order to
save from unusual deeds.  There are several ways in  which
AI is  being used or  proposed to  be used in  the healthcare
industry which mainly include data collection, data storage,
data analysis, monitoring conditions, prescribing treatments,
AI  assisted  robotic  surgeries.  Hospitals,  pharmaceutical
companies,  diagnostic  companies,  fitness  wearable’s  and
telemedicine  are  some of  the  businesses in  the  healthcare
sector which use AI.

If a medical professional is responsible for case a deficiency
of  his/her  duty  leads  to  negligence.  There  have  been
instances of civil as well as criminal penalties being imposed
on  medical  professionals  in  the  past  for  negligence.  The
regulations do not, however, distinguish cases where there is
an error in diagnosis malfunction of a technology, or the use
of  inaccurate  or inappropriate data.  As a  result,  presently
there  is  no  accountability  for  the  software  developer
developing the AI solution or the specific program engineer
who designed it. It is also unclear on how one determines the
level  of  accountability  of  the  medical  professional  when
he/she provides the wrong treatment or diagnosis due to a 

J Pharm Drug Res 2(4): 140-141Dubey A
glitch in the system or an error in data entry.
Some instances showed that according to publicly available
data, patients have had instances of giving unsafe treatment
recommendations. For example, reports have suggested that
cancer  patients  with  severe  bleeding  have  been
recommended  a  drug  that  could  cause  the  bleeding  to
worsen. Under the current regulations in India, the medical
professional may  not be able to  take a  defence that he/she
relied on the recommendation of an AI solution.The lack of
adequate data privacy laws in India could result in such data
sets  being  commercially  exploited for  matters  beyond  the
development of AI solutions. This is really a big issue that
was  understood  by  the  Ministry  of  Health  and  Family
Welfare and released a draft of the Healthcare Security Act.
In addition to the electronic health record standards, this law
proposes to provide civil and criminal remedies for breach of
data  and  principles  for  data  collection  and  use.  It  also
provides for the establishment of the National Digital Health
Authority,  a  regulator  which  will  focus  exclusively  on
enforcing healthcare data protection norms.

IPR
An intellectual property  right provides two types of  rights:
first is an industrial  property right, i.e., trademark,  patents,
designation  of  origin,  industrial designs  and  models.  And
another is copyright. The motive of intellectual property law
is for encouragement the own creations. But sadly there is no
law  for  patenting  the  algorithms.  According  to  IPR,
algorithms are not inventions. The AI algorithms are created
by  collating  and  analyzing  human  intelligence  which
developed  creativity  with  data  and  datasets  of  different
origins. As the technology is changing fast day by day, now
AI  is needed  for  healthcare assessments.  It  will make  the
machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and
perform  human  like  tasks.  While  seeing  it’s  all  round
importance in research and development, the Indian law will
also  need  to  developed  and  amended  constantly  and
adequately  regulate the  role of  AI in  healthcare sector.  In
India, a committee could be formed which entrusted with the
task  of  evaluating  the  operation  of  AI-driven  health  care
solutions  and  provide  suggestions  to  reform  Indian
regulations. 
As always said we are the best creatures of the almighty to
make this world beautiful, so now here is our good chance to
reshape the society and make our earth a better place to live.
The  development  of  novel  technologies  based  therapies
being  the  part  of  AI,  Bioinformatics,  Machine  learning,
Deep  learning,  Nanotechnology  will  arise  several  ethic
principles about human rights which need to be followed in
all levels: moral, political, and religion. All these will make
human  privacy,  dignity,  justice,  and  fair  access  to  the
knowledge of the diseases for possible beneficial therapy. It
is  moral  responsibility  of  researchers  that  they  tell
beforehand about the misuse or any contemporary use of AI
s treatment. AI will deliver healthcare revolution if used in
proper manner and unseen ever.
