Pathways to family-centered healthcare: co-designing AI solutions with families in pediatric rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT: Despite the growing interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for pediatric rehabilitation, family engagement in the technologies design remains limited. Understanding how AI-driven tools align with family needs, caregiving routines, and ethical concerns is crucial for their successful adoption. In this study, we actively involved nine families of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) in an online participatory design workshop, underscoring both the feasibility and the need of integrating family's perspectives into AI development. Families enthusiastically participated, not only sharing insights but also appreciating the opportunity to contribute to shaping future technologies. Their active engagement challenges the assumption that co-design with families is complex or impractical, highlighting
