Perspective outlines principles for designing AI tools to enhance equitable care in low- and middle-income countries, suggesting impactful approaches.
In the resource-constrained settings, shortages of health workers and underdeveloped infrastructure hinder the delivery of equitable, high quality care. This perspective outlines strategic principles to support the design of AI tools that are genuinely beneficial in low-resource contexts: adopting problem-driven approaches, understanding the socio-technical context, selecting appropriate clinical tasks, and ensuring point-of-care accessibility, clinical comprehensibility, and actionable recommendations, ultimately improving clinicians’ decision-making and promoting health equity in low- and middle-income countries.
