Abstract

BACKGROUND: The rising demand for healthcare resources, especially in chronic disease management, has elevated the importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare. While AI-based homecare systems are being developed, the perspectives of chronic patients, who are one of the primary beneficiaries and risk bearers of these technologies, remain largely under-researched. While recent research has highlighted the importance of AI-based homecare systems, the current understanding of patients' desired designs and features is still limited.
