Representation of Rural Older Adults in AI for Health Research: Systematic Literature Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Older adults in rural communities face unique challenges, including geographic isolation, a shortage of health care providers, and limited access to specialized services. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising solution for improving health care access and delivery. However, concerns persist about equitable access and representation in these innovations, especially for marginalized populations where technological literacy and infrastructure may present additional barriers to effective use.

Objective

This systematic literature review aims to: (1) identify existing literature on AI for health research focused on rural older adults, and (2) critically evaluate the identified literature to highlight gaps and inform the development of inclusive AI for h
