KEY TAKEAWAYS

– Pennsylvania-based non-profit ECRI has been developing annual lists of the top 10 healthcare technology hazards for close to 20 years.

– Because of the potential to draw biased outcomes from bad data, hallucinate or go off on tangents, AI is seen as the top technology hazard for the coming year.

– Healthcare technology in the home placed second on the 2025 list, while cybersecurity concerns through vulnerable vendors placed third.

AI may be at the top of the hype cycle in healthcare, but its uncertain governance and potential for misuse are also making it the top technology hazard for 2025.
