Cultural variation in trust and acceptability of artificial intelligence diagnostics for dementia.

Digital health innovations hold diagnostic and therapeutic promise but may be subject to biases for underrepresented groups. We explored perceptions of using artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostics for dementia through a focus group as part of the Automated Brain Image Analysis for Timely and Equitable Dementia Diagnosis (ABATED) study. Qualitative feedback from a diverse public engagement group indicated that cultural variations in trust and acceptability of AI diagnostics may be an unrecognised source of real-world inequity.
