Exploring Patient Participation in AI-Supported Health Care: Qualitative Study.

Journal: JMIR AI
Published Date: May 5, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into health care has sparked discussions about its potential impact. Patients, as key stakeholders, will be at the forefront of interacting with and being impacted by AI. Given the ethical importance of patient-centered health care, patients must navigate how they engage with AI. However, integrating AI into clinical practice brings potential challenges, particularly in shared decision-making and ensuring patients remain active participants in their care. Whether AI-supported interventions empower or undermine patient participation depends largely on how these technologies are envisioned and integrated into practice.
