Health AI looked less ready when the full governance chain was counted.
A July 17 npj Digital Medicine perspective argued that health-care AI can deepen inequality unless health systems govern five connected domains: legal frameworks, evidence generation, regulation and market access, workforce readiness, and public trust. The authors described those domains as a cyclical chain where weakness in one area can cascade through the rest.

Pressure point
This is a perspective, not a new trial or post-market audit. It identifies governance risks and reforms, but it does not measure outcomes from a deployed clinical AI system.
What to watch
Liability rules, reimbursement criteria, real-world evidence requirements, clinician training, patient trust metrics, procurement conditions, post-market monitoring, and whether equity outcomes are published after AI deployment.
