Welcome to the AI in Healthcare Community (AIiHC). Our mission is to create a safe, collaborative, and inclusive space for professionals, researchers, patients, and stakeholders engaged in the adoption of AI in healthcare. These guidelines ensure respectful, ethical, and meaningful participation aligned with our nonprofit vision.
1. Respect & Inclusivity
Treat all members with respect regardless of role, background, or opinion.
We value diversity and inclusivity. Discrimination, harassment, or hate speech will not be tolerated.
Constructive debate is encouraged, but personal attacks or derogatory remarks are not allowed.
2. Professional & Non-Commercial Environment
This is a nonprofit knowledge-sharing platform — strictly no unauthorized advertising, product promotion, or solicitation.
Industry and solution providers are welcome only for collaborative, non-commercial knowledge exchange.
All posts must focus on advancing collective understanding, not self-promotion
3. Privacy & Confidentiality
Do not share patient-identifiable information (PHI) or confidential institutional data.
Respect GDPR and relevant privacy regulations when sharing content or datasets.
Anonymize case studies, datasets, or examples before posting.
4. Accuracy & Responsibility
Do not provide or request personal medical advice. Discussions are for educational and professional exchange only.
Ensure information shared is evidence-based, citing credible sources where possible.
Misinformation, unverified claims, or hype around AI tools is discouraged.
5. Ethical Use of AI
Align all discussions and contributions with principles of ethical AI: fairness, transparency, accountability, and patient safety.
Debates on regulatory, ethical, and governance aspects should respect diverse perspectives.
6. Contribution & Collaboration
Share your experiences, case studies, and lessons learned to support collective growth.
Encourage interdisciplinary collaboration between clinicians, developers, IT, legal experts, and patients.
Mentorship and peer support are encouraged across all profile types.
7. Moderation & Enforcement
Moderators may edit, remove, or relocate posts to maintain clarity and relevance.
Violations may result in warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent removal from the community.
Appeals can be submitted to the governance team for review in line with our nonprofit values.
8. Reporting Issues
Use the reporting function to flag inappropriate behavior, commercial promotion, or harmful content.
Moderators will review reports promptly, following Digital Services Act (DSA)-aligned processes.
9. Community Integrity
Our success depends on collective trust. Avoid conflicts of interest or hidden agendas.
Transparency in collaborations, funding, and affiliations is encouraged.
10. Final Note
By participating, you agree to uphold these guidelines in alignment with AIiHC’s nonprofit mission.
Together, we aim to build a safe, ethical, and impactful community shaping the future of AI in healthcare.
