Cuatrecasas reviews the newly published Catalonian guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare. The document outlines legal and ethical principles applicable to AI systems used in diagnostics, patient monitoring, and clinical decision support. It emphasizes transparency, accountability, informed consent, and the right to human intervention.

These guidelines align with European regulatory trends and anticipate several obligations outlined in the upcoming EU AI Act. The region is one of the first in Spain to create a clear legal framework for safe, fair, and transparent use of AI in medical environments.
