Exploring the use of AI in health for rural and remote community members and patients: Introducing AiTECCC

What are rural and remote community members’ views on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Health to support them to attain wellness, or address illnesses? AiTECCC is a collaborative initiative exploring how artificial intelligence and technology-enabled care can support equitable, community-informed health services in rural and remote settings. Our public engagement work centres on understanding and capturing the voices of patients, caregivers, and community members to ensure emerging AI and digital health approaches reflect local needs, values, and lived experiences. Through dialogues and small group discussions, we aim to understand what works, what concerns exist, and what conditions are needed for responsible and culturally safe use of AI and technology in care.
