Upcoming tools within the CAIDX project

The CAIDX project aims to develop tools which are helpful when developing and implementing AI within health care. The project has now entered the piloting phase, where the tools’ usefulness is tested and input for further refinement is collected.

Three of the tools that are currently being piloted are the Game plan, Needs identification and Guiding principles for public-private collaboration. From the first results of our pilot interviews, we strongly believe that these instruments will be a valuable aid for those who plan to start new AI projects.

The Game plan gives a clear overview of all possible paths when entering the process of developing AI tools and helps the researcher to choose a suitable path (i.e., independent development, R&D collaboration, co-development, or purchase).

The Needs identification tool is intended to be used to define a clinical need. It can also be used as a basis for decisions for hospital management, in comparing and prioritizing between various proposed AI projects. The tool helps the researcher to systematically and in-depth consider various aspects regarding the problem, intended solution and required resources. For hospital management that are using the tool, it provides adequate information that they need to be able to prioritize between various projects.

The Guiding principles for public-private collaboration is intended to be used as a guideline on how to formulate a future cooperation agreement between a medical center and a private company, and highlights main topics that need to be regulated in such a legal agreement. Many medical centers lack standardized collaboration agreements, and even if they have a standardized agreement, the private companies often prefer to use their own agreements. As such, this type of guideline can be truly valuable as it prepares the researcher before starting the negotiations process with a company.

During piloting, the interviewees also mentioned the need for support when it comes to implementing AI, which will be covered in another work package within the CAIDX project.

Stay tuned to get updates on the various tools that are developed within CAIDX!
