The European Patients’ Forum and the Data Saves Lives project have developed a practical resource that focuses on the important role of data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare. It is designed to help patients and patient communities understand how digital technologies are transforming healthcare, from improving diagnostics and treatment to enhancing patient involvement. 

The resource provides practical guidance on how patients can engage with AI developers, understand relevant regulations, and advocate for patient-centred digital health solutions. The toolkit also highlights how AI is already integrated across clinical practice, biomedical research, public health, and health administration, providing examples of its practical applications.

This toolkit is a valuable reference for anyone interested in exploring how AI and digital tools can support better health outcomes and empower patients in the digital health landscape.

The accompanying Key Terminology factsheet provides simple definitions of essential terms related to AI and health data. It is designed to help patients and learners understand key concepts, enabling informed discussions and engagement with digital health technologies.
