Healthcare AI in Türkiye Report
A closed roundtable held on 14 May 2026 with more than 20 experts: the five structural blockages keeping AI in healthcare from reaching clinical scale, and the five urgent action items identified to break the deadlock.
What is in the report?
Lack of Data Standardization
There is no interoperability between HBYS platforms; the FAIR principles are not a sector-wide requirement.
The Privacy Paradox
The strict reading of anonymization locks out proactive risk scoring and longevity research.
Physician Burnout
Volume pressure has turned the physician into a data entry clerk; the absence of ambient AI compounds the load.
Payment Model Conflict
Volume-based reimbursement is economically at odds with AI aimed at preventive medicine.
Approval and Certification Bottleneck
CE/MDR certification stretching to as long as 2.5 years, together with the absence of a legal domestic test environment, leaves domestic clinical AI start-ups facing the risk of shutting down before they can scale.
