Delphi Study: AI for Clinical Settings Checklist (PhD Project)

21 January, 2024

Hi HIFA community, I would appreciate if anyone eligible would sign up to take part in the Delphi study for developing AI systems in healthcare. Thanks

My name is Ayomide Owoyemi, a doctoral candidate at the University of Illinois at Chicago. For my doctoral dissertation, I am conducting a Delphi study (Approved by the University of Illinois Chicago IRB: STUDY2023-0535-MOD003) to review, edit, and improve the draft of a checklist designed to guide the process of designing and developing AI tools intended for clinical settings. The Delphi method is a structured process for gaining consensus through controlled assessments with a group of experts or individuals knowledgeable in the subject area.

As a part of this study, I am seeking experts (Doctor, Nurse, Health informatician, AI researcher, AI engineer, Healthcare Administrator, Human factors researcher, Healthcare system researcher, Implementation researcher, Healthcare Product Manager, Health Ethics and safety expert, Allied Health Professional, AI Policy Expert) to participate in two to three rounds of structured questionnaires aimed at refining the checklist. Your input will be invaluable in determining the essential factors that can influence the successful integration and adoption of AI tools in clinical practice.

Each round of questionnaires will last approximately 25-30 minutes and will be conducted online. After each round, the aggregated responses will be analyzed, and a subsequent questionnaire will be developed based on the group's feedback. All responses will be kept anonymous, and you may discontinue your participation at any time.

Upon your agreement to participate, you will be sent an email with further instructions and a link to access the first round of questionnaires. After the completion of all rounds, a summary report of the findings will be shared with all participants.

Your expertise and participation in this study are highly regarded and appreciated. Please kindly confirm your interest in participating by replying to this form forms.gle/sg4KgS2gdJ4pynXE7 or contact me directly at aowoye3@uic.edu. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me or my advisor, Dr. Andrew Boyd at boyda@uic.edu.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
