A Human-Centered Approach to AI in Healthcare

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare has ushered in transformative advancements, from predictive diagnostics to personalized treatment strategies. However, the successful implementation of AI in this domain hinges on adopting a human-centered approach. This approach emphasizes the prioritization of patient needs, ethical considerations, and the empowerment of healthcare professionals through AI systems. By focusing on transparency, inclusivity, and usability, human-centered AI can mitigate biases, enhance decision-making, and foster trust between stakeholders. The paper explores frameworks for designing AI systems that align with human values, discussing case studies that highlight successes and challenges. Bridging the gap between technical innovation and humanistic healthcare requires interdisciplinary collaboration and a commitment to equitable outcomes. This research underscores the potential of human-centered AI to revolutionize healthcare while safeguarding the dignity and well-being of individuals.
