ACIPS: A Framework for Evaluating Patient Perception in the Introduction of AI-Enabled Healthcare
share
In healthcare, the role of AI is continually evolving and understanding the challenges its introduction poses on relationships between healthcare providers and patients will require a regulatory and behavioural approach that can provide a guiding base for all users involved. In this paper, we present ACIPS (Acceptability, Comfortability, Informed Consent, Privacy, and Security), a framework for evaluating patient response to the introduction of AI-enabled digital technologies in healthcare settings. We justify the need for ACIPS with a general introduction of the challenges with and perceived relevance of AI in human-welfare centered fields, with an emphasis on the provision of healthcare. The framework is composed of five principles that measure the perceptions of acceptability, comfortability, informed consent, privacy, and security patients hold when learning how AI is used in their healthcare. We propose that the tenets composing this framework can be translated into guidelines outlining the proper use of AI in healthcare while broadening the limited understanding of this topic.
