BACKGROUND: Digital technologies are transforming healthcare delivery by enhancing accessibility and providing innovative ways to manage increasing patient demand. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), a tsunami of ...
BACKGROUND: Empathy is a key factor in the medical field as it strengthens doctor-patient relationships, enhances communication, and leads to improved patient outcomes. This study aims to investigate the empathy levels of medical students, providing ...
In the 21st century, health care has been going through a paradigm shift called digital health. Due to major advances and breakthroughs in information technologies, most recently artificial intelligence, the patriarchy of the doctor-patient relations...
BACKGROUND: Standardized patients (SPs) prepare medical students for difficult conversations with patients. Despite their value, SP-based simulation training is constrained by available resources and competing clinical demands. Researchers are turnin...
BACKGROUND: Effective physician-patient communication is essential in clinical practice, especially in oncology, where radiology reports play a crucial role. These reports are often filled with technical jargon, making them challenging for patients t...
We examine how artificial intelligence (AI) integration in healthcare may create an "efficiency paradox" where technologies designed to reduce workload can instead generate new layers of inefficiency. We argue that AI implementation strategies priori...
At the heart of medicine lies physician-patient dialogue, where skillful history-taking enables effective diagnosis, management and enduring trust. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems capable of diagnostic dialogue could increase accessibility and q...
BACKGROUND: Virtual patients (VPs) are computer screen-based simulations of patient-clinician encounters. VP use is limited by cost and low scalability.
BACKGROUND: The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical diagnosis and consultation promises benefits such as greater accuracy and efficiency. However, there is little evidence to systematically test whether the ideal technological p...
