Artificial intelligence-enabled tools in cardiovascular medicine: A survey of current use, perceptions, and challenges.

Background: Numerous artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tools for cardiovascular diseases have been published, with a high impact on public health. However, few have been adopted into, or have meaningfully affected, routine clinical care.

Objective: To evaluate current awareness, perceptions, and clinical use of AI-enabled digital health tools for patients with cardiovascular disease, and challenges to adoption.

Perspectives of Patients With Cancer on the Quality-Adjusted Life Year as a Measure of Value in Healthcare.

Objectives: Healthcare expenditures in the United States continue to grow; to control costs, there has been a shift away from volume-focused care to value-based care. The incorporation of patient perspectives in the development of value-based healthcare is critical, yet research addressing this issue is limited. This study explores awareness and understanding of patients with cancer about the quality-adjusted life year (QALY), as well as their perspectives regarding the use of the QALY to measure value in healthcare.

Understanding the experience of living with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC): a qualitative study.

Background: As non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatments improve and patients live longer, it is important to develop interventions to help patients live fuller lives. We sought to identify key components of quality of life (QOL) in determining therapeutic decision making and overall value of life extension in patients with NSCLC.

Methods: Three focus groups (n = 16) and telephone interviews (n = 15) were conducted with NSCLC patients (N = 31) to explore symptoms considered important to QOL.
