AI integration in German medical practices
Overview
Discussions regarding the integration of artificial intelligence in German medical practices have progressed from practical implementation to ethical examination.
In September 2026, Medis Münster hosted the ‘Die Praxis der Zukunft’ congress, which focused on the utility of AI for research, appointment scheduling, and patient communication. During this event, Dr. Ralf Becker noted that AI tools could provide relief for the dense daily routines of medical practices. An interactive survey indicated that while many practitioners already use individual AI tools, about half of the attendees had not yet implemented them but remained open to doing so.
By November 2026, the focus expanded to include ethical considerations. The Institut Albertus Magnus scheduled an ethics day in Gelsenkirchen to address the opportunities and challenges of technologies like diagnostic support and resource planning. Key topics for this upcoming discussion include accountability for algorithmic decisions, the protection of patient data, and maintaining human care in a digital environment.
