Description
Gemma Postill and co-authors reflect on how health researchers can use AI research tools well, in a 2026 paper. Health fields follow their own workflows, while most AI tools are built by data scientists with different habits, and the mismatch can waste the tools' promise or mislead their users.
The authors offer practical advice for fitting AI tools into health research routines without breaking the standards those fields rely on. They also recommend how universities should train the next generation of health researchers, who will meet AI tools throughout their careers. The short piece is framed as guidance for a change the authors treat as unavoidable, urging preparation over resistance.
