Interdisciplinary Perspectives, organisiert durch das
BMBF-geförderte AI-PHCA Forschungsprojekt},
abstract = {Several AI-based technologies could be applied to pediatric
healthcare soon: smartphone appsand web-based software to be
used by young patients or their parents, as well as
technologiesthat support doctors in their work, e.g. in
writing doctor’s letters, searching medical
literature,making a diagnosis, or selecting a treatment
plan.The BMBF-funded interdisciplinary research project
AI-PHCA (KI-basierte Gesundheitsvorsorgebei Kindern und
Jugendlichen) examines the social, ethical, and legal
conditions under whichartificial intelligence (AI) could be
applied in pediatrics in the next years, with a focus on
preven-tative purposes. It involves four partner
institutions (based in Jülich, Düsseldorf, and Aachen)
andfeatures the cooperation of pediatricians, child
psychiatrists, neuroscientists, ethicists, and
legalscholars. In the planned satellite workshop, we would
like to present the first findings of AI-PHCAand discuss
them with the participants in the AEM Annual Meeting.On the
one hand, three empirical sub-projects investigate the
opinions, expectations and con-cerns of minor patients,
their parents and healthcare professionals regarding the use
of AI inpediatric care by deploying empirical methods such
as questionnaires and focus groups. System-atic reviews of
the extant literature about pediatric AI use and attitudes
toward it are also carriedout. Moreover, behavioral
experiments are conducted to identify some of the factors
that couldinfluence these opinions and perspectives.On the
other hand, the ethical and legal sub-projects constitute
the regulatory and normative partof the project. The ethical
subproject first examines the current literature on the
ethics of medicalAI to check whether and to what extent
those discussions and debates can be applied to
pediatriccare. The overall aim of the ethical sub-project is
to generate an ethical framework that is suitableto the use
of AI in pediatrics. The legal subproject first reconstructs
the current legal frameworkin which AI could be deployed in
pediatrics today, with a particular focus on Germany and the
EU.Key parts of this framework are the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the AI Actthat the EU
institutions just passed. Once this reconstruction is done,
this sub-project will proceedto highlight potential
weaknesses, tensions or obscurities in the existing
regulations and makeproposals for streamlining and
editing.The topic of the AI-PHCA project falls directly
within the range of issues addressed at this year'sAEM
Annual Meeting. The project deals with one of the problems
that the Annual Meeting en-deavors to tackle: the
technologization of the healthcare sector. The satellite
workshop can there-fore make an important contribution to
the Annual Meeting. At the same time, the AEM AnnualMeeting
offers an excellent forum for discussing the topics of the
AI-PHCA project with relevantexperts.},
