The International AI in Medicine Education Working Group is a consortium that provides a forum for relevant discussion and collaboration. It is dedicated to producing AI in medicine education materials for the global community.
This glossary is designed as a practical and accessible resource for anyone engaging with AI in medicine, from clinicians and researchers to policymakers and students. Each term includes a clear definition and a relevant application to medicine, helping to bridge the gap between technical AI concepts and their real-world impact in healthcare. Use this glossary to improve interdisciplinary communication, enhance your understanding of AI’s role in medicine, and ensure clarity in discussions, research, and education. In the future, our goal is to create a multi-modal living glossary that will be regularly updated with new terms and phrases as the field of AI health evolves.
As a living resource, we encourage you to revisit the Glossary for updates and to contribute to its evolution by suggesting new terms or refinements using this form:
