Public perceptions of artificial intelligence in healthcare: ethical concerns and opportunities for patient-centered care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In an effort to improve the quality of medical care, the philosophy of patient-centered care has become integrated into almost every aspect of the medical community. Despite its widespread acceptance, among patients and practitioners, there are concerns that rapid advancements in artificial intelligence may threaten elements of patient-centered care, such as personal relationships with care providers and patient-driven choices. This study explores the extent to which patients are confident in and comfortable with the use of these technologies when it comes to their own individual care and identifies areas that may align with or threaten elements of patient-centered care.

Methods

An exploratory, mixed-method approach was used to analyze survey data from 600 US-base
