Symposium Program 

You can see the 2021 Symposium Program here.

Call for Participation

This symposium touches upon two crucial themes of Clinical AI research: (1) trust in autonomous medical advisory systems and (2) challenges for Clinical AI adoption (design, deployment, evaluation, and sustainability of Clinical AI). 
Symposium Format:
This symposium will include keynote speakers, position paper presentations and discussion, break-out sessions and interactive expert panel conversation.

 

Topics of interest (may include, but are not limited to): 

  • Trust metrics for medical AI systems
  • Trust in hardware, software, and computing as components in an autonomous medical advisory system 
  • Trust and Explainable medical AI
  • Trust and Human-Machine/Human-Computer Collaboration
  • Individual and team medical AI support for remote and austere environment
  • Robustness and reliability in medical AI
  • Psychology, cognition, and human factors in relation to trust in  Medical AI interaction and teaming 
  • Design research to inform Clinical AI
  • Empirical studies examining clinician and patient perceptions and risk-beliefs of Clinical AI
  • Metrics for and measures of Clinical AI uptake, utility, and impact on users
  • Implementation Science strategies to inform and assessClinical AI practice integration
  • Medicolegal and ethical requirements and moral and professional responsibilities in an era of Clinical AI
  • Differences and synergies in how AI, HCI, and healthcare research communities approach clinical AI
  • Potential strategies to better bridge these communities

 

Participants will be invited to prepare extended versions of their position papers for a follow-up special topics issue through the Frontiers in Computer Science and Frontiers in Psychology journals.

 

Submission Requirements:

This symposium will be of interest to academia, industry, government, and the broader healthcare community. Participants are invited to submit 2 - 6 page articles which can be framed as speculative position papers, research outcomes, case studies, survey papers, or best practice/guidelines papers.  Papers will be submitted to the AAAI Fall 2021 Symposia EasyChair site, selecting the appropriate track and theme.
