New FLARE framework assesses AI adoption economics in healthcare

A new framework called FLARE has been developed to systematically evaluate the economic viability of integrating artificial intelligence into healthcare. This framework combines fuzzy logic, time-driven activity-based costing, and return on investment analysis to assess costs associated with AI development, operation, and clinical service delivery. A case study on AI-assisted detection of large vessel occlusions in stroke pathways demonstrated FLARE's ability to quantify costs and savings, identifying a break-even point of approximately 3,992 patients annually and a positive first-year ROI at around 5,000 patients. AI

IMPACT Provides a framework for healthcare organizations to make informed decisions about AI investments based on economic viability.

    FLARE: A Systematic, Uncertainty-Aware Framework for Evidence-Based Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

    arXiv:2608.23643v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Artificial intelligence is increasingly being introduced into healthcare workflows, yet most evaluations emphasize model accuracy rather than whether adoption is economically worthwhile in real clinical settings. This study proposes…
