Some 78% of parents OK with AI reading their child’s chest X-rays – Radiology Business

In their discussion section, the authors comment that engagement with stakeholders remains important if AI tools are to be used to positive effect in pediatric healthcare.

Further, although AI-assisted care is viewed favorably by parents for their children in the acute care setting, the selection of stakeholder groups for its development and implementation requires a diverse representation, Ramgopal and co-authors write. This is particularly important with respect to age and race/ethnicity, the two demographics associated with discomfort in our multivariable model.

Our findings offer promise in the use of AI in acute care settings and indicate how parent perspectives on AI use may differ in ways that can inform clinicians discussions of AI-based decision-making with parents.

In a news item published by the hospitals communications team, Ramgopal says AI will sooner or later become standard in routine pediatric practice.

In the ED, we already use computer-based decision supports systems, which are precursors to AI, he adds. [T]hese systems dont dictate a particular course of action, but rather inform a physicians approach to care in situations where a human might easily miss an important pattern in how illness presents itself.
