Project Description
The project research aims to investigate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare management. With the growth potential of artificial intelligence technology, there is a significant opportunity for healthcare management to improve its efficiency, effectiveness, and efficiency. For example, the current state of affairs is related to AI-assisted analysis and modeling helping to reconstruct the course of an outbreak, predict transmission routes, trace contacts, and determine the impact of various public health control measures.
On the other hand, the use of AI raises concerns among the public, industry, and regulators. The issue of trust and transparency in data-driven and automated decision support remains to be consistently measured and validated for fairness and efficiency. Similarly, anecdotal comments imply low consumer adoption and high levels of opposition to AI-led decisions in the healthcare sector by its key stakeholders, such as doctors and nurses. This project is designed to use both quantitative and qualitative methods to understand and assess current AI issues, mechanisms, procedures, and future engagement models for better healthcare management.
