Abstract Keywords: Legal, Ethical, Social and Regulatory Issues, Patient Engagement and Preferences, Artificial Intelligence, Privacy and Security
Working Group: Consumer Health Informatics Working Group
Primary Track: Policy
Programmatic Theme: Consumer Health Informatics

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming consumer health informatics, powering applications that enable activities such as self-monitoring, virtual coaching, and personalized treatment. These technologies have the potential to enhance patient engagement, improve health outcomes, and expand access to care. However, their rapid adoption raises significant ethical concerns, including algorithmic bias, ambiguous data, privacy risks, and the potential to exacerbate health disparities. Bias in training data can lead to inaccurate recommendations, while opaque decision-making processes may undermine user trust. Additionally, ethical concerns surrounding data collection, consent, and security must be proactively managed to protect consumer rights. To ensure responsible implementation, it is critical to address the limitations of current AI-driven consumer health technologies. This workshop will explore key ethical frameworks and engage participants in co-designing solutions that promote fairness, transparency, and accountability. By fostering an ethical approach to AI in consumer health technology design, we can maximize its benefits while ensuring it serves all users equitably and responsibly.
