JMIR Human Factors (2023 Impact Factor 2.7) Editor-in-Chief: Andre Kushniruk, BA, MSc, PhD, FACMI and Guest Editor: Elizabeth Borycki RN, PhD, FIAHIS, FACMI, FCAHS welcome submissions to a special theme issue examining "Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human Factors—Towards Successful Application of AI in Health Care."
This issue will focus on identifying the types of applications, users, and contexts where AI has proven to lead to successful adoption. In addition, there is also a need to identify specific issues related to the broad field of human factors, where numerous challenges have impacted the adoption of AI technologies in health care. Identifying key factors associated with the successful adoption of AI technology will become increasingly critical as innovative AI applications emerge and become more widely deployed.
Considerable advances in research and applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care have been made over the past several decades. The contexts of use have diversified, as the focus of AI has shifted from applications for acute care to use in health promotion and applications in the home. However, despite these advances, a range of challenges and human factors issues need to be considered to achieve the full potential of AI applications in clinical and health care settings.
Submissions may include, but are not limited to, the following areas of research:
- Human factors of AI applications
- Usability of AI applications
- Policy issues in implementing AI in health care
- Regulatory issues in implementing AI in health care
- Ethical issues related to the design and implementation of AI in health care (including data privacy)
- Safety issues with AI in health care
- Usability or end-user experience with AI
- AI system adoption in health care
- Cognition and AI (including automation bias and fairness)
- Socio-technical aspects of AI in health care
- Human-centered design and evaluation of AI systems
We welcome original research papers, short communications, viewpoints, and reviews that provide insight into the intersection of AI in health care and human factors.
The deadline for submissions is October 15, 2023. All accepted manuscripts will be published as part of the JMIR Human Factors special theme issue on “AI and Human Factors.”
