Qualitative Study – Focus Group Interviews |
| Project Summary |
Patients are often identified as key stakeholders in the design of AI healthcare applications. However, the extent and method of patient engagement in AI health research has not been previously studied, and currently no guidelines exist. In order for patients to have meaningful participation in the eventual development of guidelines for patient engagement in AI health research, we must thoroughly understand what methods are best suited for engagement in the first place. This exploratory qualitative study seeks to understand, from multiple perspectives, the most effective, feasible, and preferred method to engage patients in the development of guidelines for patient engagement in AI health research. |
