Artificial intelligence is expected to have a significant impact on the healthcare sector. In emergency medicine in particular, it promises to increase the speed and accuracy of clinical decisions and improve patient triage, as well as the detection of high-risk and life-threatening diseases. Realising this potential requires a human-centric approach to AI that counteracts the prevailing focus on technical feasibility and promotes collaborative human-AI performance and thus health and well-being.

The ‘AI in Emergency Medicine’ project will first identify potentially useful AI use cases in emergency medicine from a human-centred perspective. It will then empirically analyse how different levels of AI support influence trust, acceptance, the quality of medical decision-making and the well-being of staff.
