Interview on August 13, 2026, regarding the  recently published article by two researchers at ZLSR, Dr. Hannah van Kolfschooten and Dr. Franziska Bächler (attorney at law) in the journal “Lancet Regional Health – Europe”: “Artificial Intelligence in the EU Safe Hearts Plan: Prediction Alone Is Not Enough”

A new EU strategy is increasingly relying on artificial intelligence for the management of heart disease. Basel-based legal scholar Hannah van Kolfschooten believes this is premature. Among other things, she criticizes the fact that concrete benefits for patients have not yet been provided proof for and that there are gaps in the legislation.
