  • Research summary

    This project aims to find out what would encourage or discourage people living in Wales, or healthcare professionals working in Wales, to have artificial intelligence (AI) technologies used to support healthcare decision-making. It will looking at the opinions of people who are:
    • at least 16 years old and live in Wales, or
    • are registered healthcare professionals working in Wales and are making treatment or therapy decisions with patients or for patients
    The findings from this study can help us understand how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies should be designed and put into practice in a way that is acceptable to patients receiving care in Wales and healthcare staff working in Wales.
    The project will first involve undertaking an online survey. This part of the study aims to collect the opinions of as many eligible participants as possible, and so ensure that people across Wales had the opportunity to express their opinions. The second part of the study will involve focus groups or interviews. This part of the project will allow us to get more detailed answers as to why people might perceive some things as barriers or facilitators to the introduction of AI in healthcare. This part of the project will also allow those who are otherwise digitally excluded to participate in this project and courage those who are between 16 and 18 years old to participate as well. This should ensure that our results represent the opinions of all people who might be taking part in making healthcare decisions.
