Abstract

PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems in palliative care have garnered attention and popularity in recent years. Understanding patient and family needs is crucial for developing and implementing AI systems in palliative care. Few studies in palliative care have focused on the demands of terminal patients with cancer and their families toward AI. This study aimed to explore the application of advanced AI in palliative care, focusing on high priority areas, while also analyzing bereaved relatives' perspectives on AI's role in supporting patients with cancer during end-of-life care.
