Key result
Smartphone ownership linked to ~163% higher AI acceptance in HF, though patients overwhelmingly prefer cardiologists.
Why the study?
Little is known about the views of heart failure patients toward AI tools being developed to support chronic disease management.
What are the attitudes of patients with HFrEF toward the integration of artificial intelligence into heart failure care?
Population
110 consecutive patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction attending clinic follow-up
Design
Cross-sectional survey

Cautious HF patient attitudes warrant preserved clinician oversight of AI; cross-sectional data leaves open predictors of acceptance for prospective trials.

What are the attitudes of patients with HFrEF toward the integration of artificial intelligence into heart failure care?
Effect estimate: OR 2.63 (95% CI 1.19-5.77)
p-value: p=0.017
Patients with HFrEF exhibit cautious attitudes toward AI in their care, strongly preferring clinician oversight, though smartphone ownership predicts greater openness to AI integration.
Suepiantham et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (n=110). Survey on artificial intelligence in healthcare was evaluated on Acceptance of remote AI treatment adjustments (smartphone owners vs. non-owners) (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.19-5.77, p=0.017). Smartphone ownership predicted greater acceptance of remote AI treatment adjustments (OR 2.63) among heart failure patients, though 97.3% would trust their cardiologist over AI in cases of disagreement.
