DTU, 2nd Supervisor
Objectives
Enhance user trust in healthcare AI by promoting understanding of healthcare processes, treatments, and their correlation with protein data. Investigate ethical concerns and perceptions related to AI-driven health apps to ensure their optimal use.
Methodology
Conduct a literature review on AI in healthcare, emphasizing patient interactions and ethics. Design and develop gamified healthcare apps using conversational AI, enabling users to interact with AI as both caregivers and patients. Evaluate user experiences with the app considering various factors, collecting feedback from 100+ diverse users over multiple days through logs, surveys, and interviews.
Required skills
The candidate should have experience in AI and human-computer interaction, with interest in healthcare applications and ethics. Skills in app design and development, preferably with conversational or gamified interfaces, are desired. Experience in user studies, including survey design, data collection, and analysis, is an advantage.
Expected Results
The project will identify optimal gameful strategies for patient engagement with healthcare AI, offer insights into user perceptions of AI in healthcare roles, and produce guidelines for creating trustworthy healthcare AI systems.
