Interdisciplinary AI – Understanding Human Skill in Healthcare Settings

Interdisciplinary AI – Understanding Human Skill in Healthcare Settings

Human skill, and differentiation of human skill levels is poorly understood. How to measure human skill at a task in an objective way is also a largely open research question. The technical component of the third work package aims to develop video and multi-modal learning-based tools to objectively study human skill at performing healthcare tasks and develop AI Instructors capable of assessing human competence at tasks, and assisting humans in learning new tasks. We are also exploring how AI adoption and interdisciplinary AI research are reshaping expectations of human skills in healthcare.

Healthcare Research AI Ambassador Programme

Work package 3 includes a Healthcare Research AI Ambassador Scheme for researchers with backgrounds in clinical practice, humanities (including AI ethics), and experimental psychology. The scheme provides opportunities for such researchers to collaborate with AI scientists in developing human skill models for clinical tasks and studying AI adoption in clinical settings. Through these partnerships, we aim to strengthen the integration of human expertise and AI, supporting the development of safe, effective, and user-centred healthcare technologies.

Human AI Collaboration Workshop Series

Our workshop series, created in collaboration with the SHAIPE team, dives into the rapidly evolving world of Human–AI collaboration in clinical decision-making. So far, we’ve explored exciting topics including AI in dermatologyICU innovation, and the NHS  Breast Screening Programme

We are excited to continue bringing engaging and insightful discussions to our upcoming events in 2026. Discover what's coming next—visit our Workshop Calendar for dates.
