Integrating artificial intelligence tools in health research
npj Digital Medicine, 2026. Postill et al.
Abstract
Disciplines conducting health research rely on discipline-specific workflows that are distinct from data science, the discipline which develops most artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled research tools. Here we reflect on the impact of such differences in workflows and provide practical advice for leveraging AI-enabled research tools in health research. Further, we provide recommendations for how to prepare the next generation of health researchers for the inevitable influx of research integrating AI-enabled tools.
