Top 10 AI Prompts and Use Cases and in the Healthcare Industry in Peru

AI can be a game‑changer for Peru's health system: from faster, more accurate imaging and tailored treatment plans in Lima hospitals to AI‑assisted care at Andean health posts with unreliable electricity, but real gains require laws, explainability and wider connectivity.

The International Bar Association's legal review outlines the urgent need for data protection, liability rules and certification to keep patient rights front and centre (IBA legal review on AI and the future of healthcare in Peru), while field projects bridging the digital divide show how telehealth and offline AI tools take diagnostics to rural communities (Telehealth integration and digital divide solutions in rural Peru).

Practical skills matter too: workforce reskilling - for example via the AI Essentials for Work bootcamp registration (Nucamp) - helps clinicians and managers write effective prompts and deploy safer, explainable AI so innovation benefits the whole country.

"The successful integration of AI into healthcare hinges on a robust legal framework that strikes a careful balance between fostering innovation and safeguarding patient rights."

Selection blended rigorous evidence and Peru‑specific practicality: prompts and use cases were filtered using the METRICS checklist (Model, Evaluation, Timing, Range/Randomization, Individual factors, Count, Specificity) to ensure clear reporting, reproducibility and prompt‑level detail - the same criteria shown to improve comparability across generative AI studies in health care (METRICS checklist for generative AI reporting).

Each candidate was then scored for demonstrable clinical or operational value (for example, an AI drug‑level monitoring app reported a striking 67% absolute improvement in monitored patients) and for likely feasibility inside Peru's regulatory and infrastructure constraints, including data protection under Law No 29733 highlighted in the national legal review (IBA legal review on AI and the future of healthcare in Peru).

Finally, long‑term sustainability and scaleability expectations followed the AI for IMPACTS emphasis that tools must show both clinical benefit and health‑economic impact before wide deployment; prompts that mapped to measurable outcomes, clear datasets and explainable decision paths rose to the top, while high‑risk, low‑explainability ideas were deprioritised to protect patient rights and build public trust.

Selection criterion	Role in choosing top prompts/use cases
Model	Type and version to ensure reproducible behaviour
Evaluation	Objective metrics and clinical endpoints required
Timing	Clear timestamps for queries and updates to track model drift
Range / Randomization	Broad, representative datasets to avoid bias
Individual factors	Consideration of patient heterogeneity in Peru
Count	Sufficient sample size or query volume for confidence
Specificity of prompts	Precise prompts to improve reproducibility and safety
Clinical / Health‑economic impact	Demonstrable outcomes and sustainability per AI for IMPACTS

Assisted diagnosis and clinician decision support in Peru should aim not to replace judgement but to sharpen it: classic work shows that clinician confidence does not always equal correctness across experience levels, so decision‑support prompts that present differential diagnoses, red flags and evidence‑linked next steps can act as a practical safety net (Clinician diagnostic accuracy vs confidence - PubMed study).

Recent education research finds CDSS tools help learners improve diagnostic performance, which suggests the same prompt patterns - concise symptom-to-differential templates, structured red‑flag checks and confidence‑calibration cues - can boost frontline clinicians' accuracy and teach safer habits (CDSS improves diagnostic performance in learners - BMC Medical Education).

Real deployments in Peru work best when these prompts are embedded into existing EMR and telehealth workflows - so a busy Lima clinic or a remote health post sees the same, context‑aware guidance during triage and prescription work, not a separate app (EMR and telehealth integration for AI clinical decision support in Peru).

Training studies reinforce the point: structured screening and differential‑diagnosis training raised clinicians' Primary Care Confidence Scale scores (from 40.26 to 45.24 immediately, and a 6.8‑point gain at six months), underlining that combined human+AI approaches - clear prompts plus education - produce durable safety gains rather than momentary fixes.

Study	Key finding
Friedman et al., 2001 (PubMed)	Clinician confidence does not always predict correctness across experience levels
Kafke et al., 2023 (BMC Med Educ)	CDSS tools can improve diagnostic performance in learners
Shavit et al., 2025 (DovePress)	Training increased PCCS from 40.26→45.24 (immediate) and +6.8 at 6 months; biggest gains in red‑flag detection

Medical imaging AI holds real promise for earlier detection of lung disease in Peru, but independent validation shows a wide gulf between vendor claims and radiologist‑reviewed performance: an external study that compared five CXR AI tools found three (Celsus, Lunit INSIGHT CXR and qXR) reached a top AUC of 0.956 against vendor specs, yet when three radiologists judged segmentation and classification the best AUC fell to 0.812 - although all tools showed 100% specificity in the later evaluation stages - underscoring that small, high‑quality test sets (the study's final set was just 100 CXRs, 50 with nodules) can reveal real-world limits (Independent evaluation of five chest X‑ray AI tools).

For Peru, the practical path is clear: validate imaging models on local datasets, involve radiologists in the loop, and deploy them only as decision aids tied into existing systems so a flagged nodule actually turns into a timely referral rather than an isolated alert - an EMR‑integrated workflow has already shown operational benefits in Peruvian telehealth settings (EMR-integrated telehealth benefits for Peruvian healthcare).

The memorable takeaway: a high AUC in a vendor slide deck is encouraging, but a rural clinician needs a validated, explainable alert on their tablet to change a patient's outcome.

Study metric	Value
Initial record pairs analysed	7,670,212
Final test set	100 CXR (50 with nodules, 50 without)
Best vendor-matching AUC (tool stage)	0.956
Best radiologist-evaluated AUC	0.812
Specificity at stages 2 & 3	100%

Telemedicine and remote monitoring are already changing care pathways across Peru - from Socios En Salud's suite of telehealth apps that connect mothers, children and people with chronic disease to real clinicians, to regional programmes that use telecommunications to bring prenatal checks to remote communities; these practical tools turn infrequent clinic visits into continuous, context‑aware care by pairing chatbots and human follow‑up, and they work best when tied into existing systems so alerts become appointments, not dead‑end notifications.

Socios En Salud's CASITA app, for example, helped a young mother in Carabayllo confirm her nine‑month‑old's development milestones from home and access targeted support, while GESTamor and Bienestár focus on prenatal referral and mental health screening respectively - concrete wins that mirror PAHO's evidence that telemedicine reduces barriers to timely prenatal detection across rural Peru.

For health leaders, the clear next step is pragmatic integration: combine these telehealth apps with EMR workflows to close the loop from remote screening to facility‑based care and build trust in communities that most need it (Socios En Salud telehealth apps connecting patients to care in Peru, PAHO telemedicine evidence for prenatal care in rural areas, and EMR and telehealth integration benefits for Peruvian healthcare systems).

Metric	Value / Note
Annual preventable maternal deaths (Americas)	~8,400 per year (PAHO)
Main causes of maternal mortality	Hemorrhage 23.1%; Pregnancy‑induced hypertension 22.1% (PAHO)
Key access barriers	Remote distances, transport costs, cultural differences (PAHO)

“Through the CASITA chatbot app, I was able to rule out signs of delay or risk in his child development.”

Real‑time triage and prioritization can be a frontline safety tool for Peru's crowded emergency rooms and overstretched primary care clinics because triage practice errors may lead to treatment delay, patient deterioration and patient harm - a recent Journal of Emergency Nursing scoping review on triage and patient safety maps exactly these risks and why better prioritisation matters.

Practical deployments in Peru should therefore pair fast, explainable prioritisation prompts with EMR and telehealth workflows so a red‑flag alert becomes a booked appointment or an expedited referral, not a forgotten notification on a clinician's dashboard (EMR and telehealth integration benefits for Peruvian healthcare).

Policymakers and hospital leaders must also align these live systems with Peru's legal framework for safe AI use - for example, Law 31814 offers a governance baseline that helps protect patients as real‑time tools scale (Peru Law 31814 guidance for safe AI deployment in healthcare).

The true test is simple and memorable: a triage alert that shaves hours off a waitlist and turns a worried parent's visit into timely, lifesaving care.

EMR automation and smart claims support can quietly transform operations in Peru by turning trapped, messy records into clean, actionable workflows that cut admin time and reduce billing friction - NLP and API-driven pipelines extract data from structured fields, free‑text notes and scanned PDFs so prior authorisations, risk scores and referrals flow into the same EMR and telehealth stack that clinicians already use (Inovalon: EMR data extraction and NLP, Width.ai: EMR data extraction technical pipeline).

For Peru this matters practically: automated extraction means a receptionist or claims clerk no longer chases paper - what used to be a stack of scanned reports becomes a searchable timeline, feeding faster reimbursements and cleaner quality metrics into national reporting and local hospital dashboards (and helping telehealth integrations actually close the loop on remote consultations).

Vendors and health leaders should focus on robust preprocessing (OCR, layout understanding), medical‑aware NER and standards mapping so extracted values are trustworthy for clinical use, audits and payer decisions rather than noisy text that creates more work.

Metrics
Providers connected via Inovalon ONE®: ~375,000 (Inovalon)
Speed vs manual retrieval: Digital records accessed up to 10× faster (Inovalon)
Risk adjustment value delivered: $35.5 million (Inovalon)
Scale of clinical notes (Truveta): ~5 billion clinical notes; 120 million patients; 85 million imaging studies (Truveta)

Prescription auditing and medication safety are low‑cost, high‑impact places for AI to help Peru's health system: AI‑assisted medication reconciliation and interaction‑checking can automate the tedious parts of discharge workflows, freeing pharmacists to resolve true clinical risks and coach patients - an important complement to Just Culture approaches that prioritise systems learning over blame (AI‑powered medication reconciliation and safer transitions of care).

Large AI efforts also improve pharmacovigilance: Cedars‑Sinai's OnSIDES project used AI to extract millions of drug–adverse event relationships from labels, showing how machine‑readable safety data can surface hidden risks much faster than manual review (OnSIDES adverse‑event database and AI drug‑safety analysis), while reviews of medication‑related clinical decision support point to smarter, more targeted alerts rather than alarm fatigue (rethinking medication‑related CDS).

For Peru, pragmatic deployment means EMR and pharmacy‑system integration plus pharmacist oversight so an explainable, prioritized alert on a dispensary tablet prevents harm at the counter instead of adding noise to clinician inboxes.

Metric	Value
Medication discrepancies at hospital discharge	89% (reported study)
OnSIDES drug–ADE pairs identified	~3.6 million
External medication histories consulted (Carle Health example)	99% of high‑risk patients

“OnSIDES provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date database of adverse drug events from drug labels.”

Personalized medicine in Peru gains practical traction when genomic signal is turned into clear, guideline‑driven decisions: SOPHiA GENETICS' SOPHiA DDM™ is an IVDR‑certified, cloud platform that lets labs upload FASTQ files, run ML‑powered variant calling and annotation, and produce CAP/CLIA‑compliant, customizable reports that prioritize likely pathogenic hits for oncology and rare‑disease workflows (SOPHiA DDM™ for Genomics).

Pairing that analytic horsepower with curated clinical context - via the OncoPortal knowledge base that matches variants to therapies and >13,000 trials - helps turn a noisy exome into actionable options for treatment selection and trial matching (OncoPortal Knowledge Base for Variant-Therapy and Clinical Trial Matching).

Practical adoption in Peruvian labs also depends on clear variant nomenclature and interpretation standards; SOPHiA resources and the HGVS beginner's guide demystify naming and ACMG/AMP criteria so reports are consistent and usable by clinicians (HGVS Nomenclature Guide for Clinical Variant Reporting).

The memorable payoff: what once needed specialist bioinformatics can become a secure, auditable sample‑to‑report pathway that surfaces the few variants that matter for a patient's care.

OncoPortal metric	Value
Genes covered	>1,900
Variants curated	>45,000
Clinical trials matched	>13,000
Targeted therapies referenced	>4,000

Real‑world evidence (RWE) is a practical lever for faster drug discovery, smarter trial design and better patient matching in Peru - but it only pays off if fragmented clinical records become reliable signals: local guidance like “Real‑World Evidence from Peruvian Trials” outlines actionable strategies for turning site experience into publishable evidence, while a national review warns that few routine data sources exist for drug‑utilization research in Peru, creating a clear priority to strengthen EHRs and registries (Real‑World Evidence from Peruvian Trials (BioAccess blog), PubMed: Drug utilization research in Peru - Is real‑world data available?).

Practical fixes used globally - front‑end digital enrolment, eConsent and wearable feeds - help patient recruitment and long‑term follow‑up and explain why the volume of RWD studies surged (~2,000% growth from 2004–2022), turning noisy field data into fit‑for‑purpose evidence that speeds approvals, informs HTA and finds trial participants who otherwise vanish from paper charts (Medrio blog: Overcoming RWD capture challenges in Phase IV trials).

The memorable test: a single validated Peruvian registry should be able to convert one clinician's scribbled note into a trial match that changes a patient's treatment path.

Robotics and assistive machines are becoming a practical chapter in Peru's surgical and rehabilitation playbook, but the road from promise to patient impact depends on local validation, training and systems integration: virtual surgical planning and robot‑assisted techniques deliver sub‑millimeter precision, shorter operative times and more predictable outcomes in orthognathic and other specialties - a clear fit for tertiary centres in Lima that can centralise cases and build training hubs (Robotic-assisted virtual surgical planning review (Galen Medical Journal)).

Autonomous surgical research also shows real gains in consistency - an AI‑driven system that planned and adapted sutures in a live animal model outperformed human operators on repeatability and accuracy, illustrating how machine vision plus closed‑loop control could reduce intraoperative variability (NVIDIA autonomous surgical robot improves precision (STAR system)).

Practical Peruvian deployment should start with staged pilots tied into EMR and telehealth workflows, robust simulation training and governance under Peru's AI/legal guidance so a neat algorithmic alert or robotic assist becomes an actual, timely referral or rehabilitation plan rather than an expensive gadget on a shelf (Peru Law 31814 safe AI deployment guidance); the memorable test is simple: a robot's precision mattering only if it shortens a child's recovery or a patient's wait for specialist care.

Promise	Evidence / Source
Higher precision & predictable outcomes	Galen Medical Journal review - VSP and robotic assist (sub‑millimeter precision)
Autonomous consistency in soft‑tissue tasks	NVIDIA report - STAR robot outperformed surgeons in anastomosis trials
Barriers: cost, training, infrastructure, governance	Review highlights barriers; Peru needs phased pilots and legal alignment (Law 31814)

“What makes the STAR special is that it is the first robotic system to plan, adapt, and execute a surgical plan in soft tissue with minimal human intervention.”

Good governance is the backbone that will turn promising AI pilots into trusted, country‑wide improvements: Peru's risk‑based AI regime makes health systems explicitly “high‑risk,” demanding clear labelling, human oversight and explainable outputs so an algorithmic nodule‑alert becomes a readable, auditable recommendation rather than a mysterious black box (Peru Law 31814 AI labelling and explainability regulations).

At the same time, any tool touching health data must obey the Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 29733): prior, informed consent (stricter for sensitive health data), limits on cross‑border transfers, security measures and incident notification under NDPA oversight - practical rules that protect patients and make commercial partnerships feasible (Peru Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 29733) summary and regulation).

Building public trust also means public engagement, transparent impact records and plain‑language disclosures so communities from Lima to the Andes can understand when an AI helped a decision; without those steps a slick model is just another unreadable alert on a clinician's tablet, not care.

For a concise legal roadmap see the recent IBA review on AI in Peruvian healthcare (IBA legal review: AI and the future of healthcare in Peru).

Governance element	Practical effect for health AI in Peru
Law 31814 (risk‑based rules)	Labels high‑risk health AI; requires explainability and human oversight
Law No. 29733 (PDPL)	Prior informed consent, sensitive data protection, cross‑border rules and security/incident obligations
Regulatory bodies & enforcement	NDPA/SGTD oversight with documentation, traceability and penalties for non‑compliance

Practical next steps for beginners and health leaders in Peru are refreshingly pragmatic: start with small, clinic‑level pilots that co‑design workflows with clinicians and patients (the EmpatIA pathfinder at Detecta Clinic showed how localisation - Spanish videos, Peruvian music and even non‑Spanish language support - and clinician input matter for uptake) and validate models on local data so alerts become actionable referrals rather than noise; Project EmpatIA pilot findings on localisation, clinician input, and uptake.

Pair every deployment with clear legal and privacy checkpoints aligned to national guidance and the IBA review so consent, explainability and Law No. 29733 obligations are baked in from day one (IBA legal review on AI in Peruvian healthcare and data protection safeguards).

Finally, invest in practical upskilling - short, job‑focused training helps clinicians and managers write safe prompts, embed AI into EMR/telehealth workflows, and scale responsibly; a pragmatic starting option is the AI Essentials for Work bootcamp registration (practical AI skills for healthcare teams), which equips teams to move from pilot learnings to repeatable, patient‑centred programs.
