Enhancing Shared Decision-Making for Lung Cancer Screening with a Trustworthy AI Chatbot
Abstract: Lung cancer screening (LCS) uptake remains low, highlighting the need for interventions that enhance accessibility, patient education, and shared decision-making. We developed an AI-driven chatbot integrating smoking cessation support with LCS consultations. A pilot study (N=29) demonstrated its effectiveness in assessing smoking-related risks and improving cessation readiness. Additionally, we are collaborating with clinical experts to standardize LCS eligibility assessment. Future work includes expert evaluations and model optimization to enhance chatbot accuracy, engagement, and its potential to reduce health disparities.
