During an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diabetic retinopathy screening event, we performed a survey on patients´ perceptions on AI. Respondents were individuals with diabetes, mostly followed in primary healthcare with a low education level. While 49.6% of participants said they knew what AI was, only 14% reported good or expert knowledge of AI. The vast majority reported positive feelings towards AI in healthcare. We highlight the importance of understanding patients´ views regarding AI in health in a real-life situation and emphasize the importance of digital education.
在一次人工智能(AI)辅助的糖尿病视网膜病变筛查活动中,我们对患者对 AI 的认知进行了调查。受访者为糖尿病患者,主要在初级保健中就诊,受教育程度较低。虽然 49.6%的参与者表示他们知道 AI 是什么,但只有 14%的人表示对 AI 有良好或专家级的了解。绝大多数人对 AI 在医疗保健中的应用持积极态度。我们强调了在现实生活中了解患者对 AI 在健康方面的看法的重要性,并强调了数字教育的重要性。
