The Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) launched, this Tuesday (9), the artificial intelligence (AI) system for monitoring medical acts by Regional Medicine Councils (CRMs) across the country. The expectation of the federal collegiate is that the new artificial intelligence module of the National Inspection Platform will increase the volume of annual inspections by 30%, over the next two years, throughout the national territory in a more effective way, with the supervision of medical activities and expansion of the capacity to identify, monitor and analyze situations that require action by inspection bodies.

At a press conference in Brasília, the president of the CFM, José Hiran da Silva Gallo, argued that the technology will equip tax doctors with support for decision-making and to speed up the necessary solutions. For Gallo, the investment strengthens governance, reduces bureaucracy and improves public health defense. "We are putting technology at the service of inspection to increase efficiency, expand the scope of actions and offer faster responses to society's demands. It is a tool of great importance, but it will never replace the doctor", guaranteed the president of the institution. The third vice-president and director responsible for the Artificial Intelligence Department of the Federal Council of Medicine, Jeancarlo Cavalcante, detailed that advances in recent years with the migration of data to the cloud and the transition to a digital environment system that provides more transparency allows inspections to be monitored by those responsible for technicians and managers of health establishments. In this new phase, Jeancarlo Cavalcante also reports that the automated inspection solution using AI represents a pioneering change in the world. “The fact that we have more than 600,000 doctors and use an artificial intelligence platform for inspection makes us pioneers in the world in terms of medical collegiate and inspection. The person responsible for the launch reported that the objective of the improvement is to protect society, even when the inspection is perceived as an unfriendly attitude for those who receive it. “When we monitor the practice of medicine, we protect society from bad professionals and false doctors. The difference of this new platform is to protect not only society, not only the patient from poor care and insecurity, but also doctors, from inadequate health conditions and the lack of security to carry out their medical work" Technology The platform integrates data processed from the CFM and CRMs, such as inspection histories, professional registrations, such as the National Registry of Doctors, and public information from healthcare establishments, with the National Registry of Healthcare Establishments (CNES). The CFM points out that this platform will also interact and cross-reference information from the Federal Revenue database and will track content available on social networks and other digital environments. Director Jeancarlo Cavalcante highlights that the tool's unique feature is relating and monitoring complaints about structural precariousness in hospitals and reporting publications suspected of illegal practice of medicine. “This platform will seek out the role of fake doctors on social media, the imminent risk to the health of the Brazilian population. What is on social media can now be searched and approved by a human [professional] from the inspection sector [of the CFM].” As a consequence, the CFM director highlights that version 4.0 of the National Inspection Platform leaves behind the traditional inspection model, previously based on complaints from society and which now anticipates problems. "Now, we will also work with data and prediction, that is, with what could happen and pose a risk to the health of the Brazilian population and the practice of the medical profession. We will, in some situations, be able to anticipate the damage and monitor it, in real time, before this happens", said Jeancarlo Cavalcante. The authority guarantees that all information processing complies with the principles of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), guaranteeing data security and privacy.
