A survey about AI use in healthcare

What’s the project about? 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in everyday technologies such as smartphones, TVs, voice assistance and cars.  

In healthcare, AI is being developed to assist in diagnosis, treatment planning, and other tasks. This means that it’s becoming more likely that patients will come into contact with AI during their treatment journey.  

Researchers want to understand what the public feels about AI, and how much they understand its potential uses. This will help to ensure that the way AI is used and regulated reflects patients’ needs and concerns. 

Who’s organising it? 

Name of project lead: Betsy Arefaine, PhD. 

Job title: Senior Outreach Manager 

Organisation: PharosAI/King’s Health Partners Cancer Biobank 

Email address: bethlehem.2.arefaine@kcl.ac.uk 

Who can take part? 

This opportunity is open to everyone  

Why do you want me to be involved?  

By sharing your experiences, you can help researchers know whether this will be positively accepted or not, learn how to better communicate the benefits of AI assistance in cancer care, and inform the use of AI.  

What will you ask me to do? 

The researchers would like you to complete a short online survey. It should take no more than 10 minutes.  

The questions are about whether you use any AI tools already, such as in your smartphone, home devices or social media algorithms. Some questions on what you know about AI already, and whether you knew about its use in healthcare.   

There may be an option of further involvement with the research in the future, but currently the survey is all that is needed for now. 

How do I get involved? 

Please complete the survey.
