More than 10,000 healthcare professionals have now started learning AI with HelloAI, GE HealthCare’s AI fluency program for healthcare. They come from more than 100 countries and work in clinical, engineering, research, administrative and leadership roles.
Depending on their intended use and regulatory status, some AI-enabled clinical decision support tools are designed to analyze medical images, flag findings for review, support case prioritization and provide information that may inform clinical decisions. As healthcare organizations introduce increasingly sophisticated AI systems, foundational training remains important for the people expected to use, oversee and govern them responsibly and with appropriate human oversight.
HelloAI launched in 2018 and is now led by GE HealthCare and co-created with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Covista and the British Institute of Radiology. More than 40 clinicians, researchers and engineers have contributed to the courses, and the program has hosted more than 45 live events with academic and clinical partners.
Why AI fluency matters
AI is increasingly part of clinical work, including imaging, documentation and decision support, and training needs remain. According to the American Medical Association’s 2026 physician survey, 81% of surveyed physicians reported using AI in practice, more than double the share reported in 2023, and a majority reported needing additional training.
At Hello AI, AI fluency means building the knowledge and judgment to use AI responsibly in daily work. That involves grasping core concepts such as when a tool fits a task, how it was trained, solving for risk and bias, and measures to maintain appropriate human oversight.
A year of wider access
In May 2026, GE HealthCare made the HelloAI Professional track available at no cost. In September, the British Institute of Radiology joined as a collaborator and opened HelloAI to its community of imaging and radiotherapy professionals.
HelloAI for institutions is now in beta. Health systems, universities and professional associations can invite participants to join HelloAI and, subject to appropriate permissions, view their learning progress and certificates of completion for each module. Institutions interested in taking part can join the beta.
What learners take from the offering
Akshat Patel came to HelloAI after a bachelor’s degree in alternative medicine, with no technical background and no clear starting point. “Enrolling in the program became a turning point for me. The foundational courses gave me clarity, and direction in understanding AI, especially coming from a non-technical background,” he said. Patel now works as Product and Clinical Lead at the health-tech startup Helius Wellness.
Jakub Gwiazdecki, now a research fellow in cardiology at University Hospital of Basel, said he used what he learned to build the Medical Interview Simulator, an AI-supported learning tool. According to Gwiazdecki, hundreds of medical students at LFUK in Bratislava now use the tool.1
Four modules, one learning path
- HelloAI Foundations. For anyone interested in AI, with no technical background needed. Three short courses, under an hour in total, cover the core terms, the kinds of AI and how to direct an AI tool well. Free.
- HelloAI Student. For medical, nursing, pharmacy and allied-health students. Six courses over four to six hours show how to use AI to study without losing the learning, and how to use it responsibly around patients and evidence. Free, with a certificate of completion.
- HelloAI Professional. For healthcare professionals, students and researchers who want depth. More than 50 courses across five tracks, about 15 hours in total, cover responsible use, data and security, deployment, and AI at the point of care. Free, with a certificate of completion.
- HelloAI Executive (planned). For healthcare decision makers and leaders. The planned paid module is expected to include ten courses, about two hours in total, covering AI strategy, ownership, risk-based governance, return on investment and sustainable adoption across a health system. You can join the waitlist now.
The modules draw on published research and examples from clinical and operational practice. They are also self-paced and online, and most lessons are designed to take around ten minutes. To start learning, visit helloaiprofessional.com.
