Abstract

Generative AI use for health information is currently driven by early adopters-those who find it useful, easy to integrate, enjoyable, and have the necessary skills and infrastructure to do so. Cross-national consistency suggests a shared adoption pattern across Europe. To promote equitable adoption, communication efforts should focus on usefulness, convenience, and enjoyment, while ensuring digital access and safeguards for vulnerable users.
