Please choose one of the following scenarios:
RISK OF TECHNO-STRESS DUE TO TECHNOLOGY OVERUSE
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
FEAR OF DEHUMANIZATION/DEPERSONALIZATION OF RELATIONSHIPS SINCE THEY FACE THE RISK OF REPLACING THEIR ROLE WITH THE TOOLS, LIMITING THE SPECIFICITIES OF MEDICAL PRACTICE
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
MEDICAL LIABILITY CONCERNS, SINCE PHYSICIANS CONTROL TELEMEDICINE CONSULTATIONS & MAY FEEL LIABLE FOR MONITORING PATIENTS OUTSIDE OF REGULAR OFFICE HOURS
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
Telemedicine services involve critical care or emergencies, as this requires 24/7 availability and immediate intervention, coupled with the challenges of managing complex cases remotely and the potential for technology failures, all of which significantly increase the likelihood of legal issues if adverse outcomes occur.
RISK OF STANDARDIZATION OF MEDICAL DECISION MAKING PROCESS BASED ON DIGITAL PATIENT MONITORING MAY LEAD TO OVERMEDICALIZATION/OVERTECHNIFICATION
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
LESS AUTONOMY IN DECISION MAKING & IMPLEMENTATION FOR PHYSICIANS IN NON LEADERSHIP POSITIONS
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
HIGH LEVEL OF PROVIDER RESISTANCE EVIDENCED BY CONSISTENT ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT THE APP TOWARDS FITTING WITH EXISTING WORKFLOWS RATHER THAN ADAPTING MUCH OF THEIR BEHAVIOUR
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
PHYSICIAN-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP, INTERACTION & COMMUNICATION-LESS INTERPROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION DUE TO LACK OF OBSERVATION & PATIENT-EYE CONTACT DURING DATA ENTRY/REDUCTION IN MEDICAL FOLLOW UPS MAY RESULT IN DECLINE IN CLINICAL SKILLS
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
Physicians rely heavily on data entry during consultations, significantly reducing eye contact and observation, especially in high-volume practices where documentation efficiency is prioritized over patient interaction, severely impacting the physician-patient relationship and clinical assessment accuracy.
LACK OF INTEREST DUE TO UNFAMILIARITY WITH THE APPS AND LOW CONFIDENCE IN E-HEALTH SOLUTIONS
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
PRIVACY, SAFETY, TRUSTWORTHINESS, CONFIDENTIALITY, SECURITY OF DATA USED BY HEALTH APPS
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
DOUBT ABOUT THE VALUE AND THE QUALITY OF PATIENT-GATHERED DATA AND THE ACTIONABILITY OF DATA IN THE CLINICAL REALM
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
Healthcare providers grapple with uncertainties regarding the clinical relevance and impact of patient-generated data, heightened patient safety concerns, and resource constraints, which collectively inhibit their confidence in incorporating such data into decision-making processes, particularly in critical care scenarios.
CONCERN OVER POSSIBLE INACURRACIES & BIASES WITHIN THE DATA RESULTING IN DISPARITIES IN SYSTEM ACCURACY
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
Concerns over data inaccuracies and biases become critical as they directly impact patient safety and well-being on a large scale, potentially resulting in serious harm or even fatalities. Inaccurate or biased data can lead to misdiagnoses, inappropriate treatments, or delayed interventions, exacerbating existing healthcare disparities and disproportionately affecting marginalized or underrepresented communities.
CONCERN ABOUT CYBER ATTACKS AND DATA BREACHES IN AI HEALTH SYSTEMS
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
FEAR THAT PATIENT’S INFORMATION COULD BE COMPROMISED
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
FEAR OF EXPLOITATION OF PERSONAL DATA, COMMODIFICATION OF PATIENT INFORMATION AND NEW POPULATION MONITORING
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
LOW LEVEL OF DIGITAL HEALTH LITERACY DUE TO GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCE IN THE OVERALL DIGITAL PROFICIENCY
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
LACK OF AWARENESS OF THE AVAILABLE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
ANY INACCURACIES OR BIASES PRESENT WITHIN THE DATA CAN RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT DISPARITIES IN SYSTEM ACCURACY, MAINLY WHEN APPLIED TO POPULATIONS THAT DIFFER FROM THE ORIGINAL TRAINING DATA
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
Healthcare providers in well-equipped institutions are acutely aware of the dangers posed by data inaccuracies and biases, actively engaging in initiatives to address these concerns and uphold ethical standards in healthcare delivery, prioritizing patient safety and equity and implementing rigorous validation processes for data-driven tools to ensure accurate and unbiased outcomes.
LACK OF QUALIFIED OR SKILLED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS ESPECIALLY IN RESOURCE-CONSTRAINT SETTINGS
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
THE DIGITAL DIVIDE HAS INTENSIFIED SOCIAL INEQUALITIES BECAUSE TECHNOLOGIES USED IN E-HEALTH SERVICES ARE NOT CULTURALLY ADAPTED TO THE LOCAL CONTEXT & MAY NOT BE EASILY UNDERSTOOD BY HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS (DEPENDING ON INCOME LEVEL, LEVEL OF DIGITAL LITERACY & LINGUISTIC ABILITY)
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
In contexts, where may be some disparities in access to technology and digital literacy levels, efforts to bridge these gaps are underway, albeit with varying degrees of success, however, the lack of comprehensive cultural adaptation in e-health services and persistent disparities in access to technology contribute to moderate levels of social inequality.
Significant disparities exist in access to technology and digital literacy, compounded by a lack of culturally adapted e-health services, resulting in pronounced social inequalities, with marginalized groups facing significant barriers to accessing essential healthcare services, exacerbating existing health disparities.
INADEQUATE OR FRAGMENTED LEGAL FRAMEWORKS & THE LACK OF REIMBURSEMENT STRUCTURES/SCHEMES CAN POSE MAJOR OBSTACLES IN THE PROVISION OF E-HEALTH SERVICES
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
TIME PRESSURE TO INTERPRET DATA INTO CONSULTATIONS
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
HIGH COST ASSOCIATED WITH PURCHASING, INTEGRATING AND TRAINING ON THE USE OF DHTs
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
In small or underfunded healthcare providers lacking adequate resources and facing significant challenges in integration due to limited IT infrastructure, uncertain ROI (Return On Investment), and high staff turnover, making the upfront cost prohibitive and potentially destabilizing for the organization.
LIMITED WORKFLOW INTEGRATION

Please choose one of the following scenarios:
THE NEED FOR HIGH-QUALITY ENGINEERING PRACTICES AND EVIDENCE STANDARDS, TO ENSURE AI POLICIES’ LEGITIMACY, MORALITY AND ROBUSTNESS.
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
NEED FOR INDEPENDENT CERTIFICATION TO ENSURE QUALITY & TRUSTWORTHINESS BEFORE RECOMMENDING THE APPS
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
PROVIDERS REPORTED EXPERIENCING CONFLICT BETWEEN ENSURING THAT THE TOOL FIT IN THEIR EXISTING WORKFLOW AND THEIR DESIRE TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY CARE TO THEIR PATIENTS
Please choose one of the following scenarios:
Harmonizing technology & Optimizing people’s health experience
