Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

Digital health innovations hold diagnostic and therapeutic promise but may be subject to biases for underrepresented groups. We explored perceptions of using artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostics for dementia through a focus group as part of the Automated Brain Image Analysis for Timely and Equitable Dementia Diagnosis (ABATED) study. Qualitative feedback from a diverse public engagement group indicated that cultural variations in trust and acceptability of AI diagnostics may be an unrecognised source of real-world inequity. Efforts focused on the adoption of AI diagnostics in memory clinic pathways should aim to recognise and account for this issue.

Key findings

Why it matters

This focus-group study found that cultural differences in trust and acceptability of AI dementia diagnostics may be an unrecognized source of inequity. It concerns how people view diagnostic tools, not any treatment, cure, or prevention for Alzheimer's disease.

Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on impact for its field and year, so that was left out: it earned 32 of the 94 points we could judge it on, which is 34 out of 100.
