Principles for Using AI in Medicine: Enhancing Patient Care with Technology

At Circle Medical, we believe technology should empower our patients and providers—not replace the human touch that defines quality healthcare. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into medicine, it's important to set clear principles for how this technology interacts with patients and providers. Our Principles for Human-AI Interactions at Circle Medical ensure that AI remains a tool to enhance care, not a substitute for it.

‍

AI can help streamline tasks, improve accuracy, and provide valuable insights, but healthcare is fundamentally about human connection. At Circle Medical, we use AI thoughtfully to assist our providers, enabling them to focus more on patients and less on administrative burdens. Whether it’s assisting with note-taking, our goal is always to enhance, not replace, the role of our providers in your care.

‍

We know that trust is the foundation of every patient-provider relationship. That’s why transparency is at the core of how we use AI. Patients have the right to know when AI is being used, how it’s being used, and how it benefits their care. Our providers always review and confirm any AI insights before making any clinical decisions.

‍

Your health data is deeply personal, and protecting it is our top priority. We ensure that all AI tools used at Circle Medical adhere to the highest standards of privacy and security. Our principles require that any use of AI complies with strict data protection regulations and ethical guidelines, ensuring your information stays safe and confidential.

‍

Just as medicine evolves, so does AI technology. Our principles emphasize continuous learning, ensuring our tools are up-to-date and reflective of the latest evidence-based practices. By using AI responsibly and thoughtfully, we aim to enhance the quality of care we provide while remaining adaptable to new innovations.

‍

AI can do many things, but it cannot provide empathy, understanding, or the personal care that comes from a dedicated healthcare provider. At Circle Medical, we prioritize compassion in every interaction, ensuring that AI serves to support—not replace—the human element of medicine.
