Abstract

Insights

Artificial Intelligence-Mediated Communication (AIMC) interventions show promise for improving health behaviors in cancer prevention and substance use recovery. Further research is needed to address ethical considerations and ensure equitable access.

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Artificial Intelligence-Mediated Communication (AIMC) offers novel approaches to behavioral interventions.
  • Existing research on AIMC in cancer prevention/control and substance use requires systematic evaluation.

Approach:

  • A systematic review of eight databases (2017-2022) was conducted using the PICOS framework.
  • Seven studies involving 2768 participants were synthesized, assessing retention and engagement.
  • Quality was assessed using the SIGN Methodology Checklist 2.

Key Points:

  • Five of the seven studies reported significant improvements in areas such as substance use recovery, physical activity, and dietary habits.
  • The reviewed interventions primarily targeted adult populations, with 67.6% female participants.
  • Mean participant age was 42.73 years.

Conclusions:

  • AIMC interventions demonstrate potential for enhancing health behaviors in cancer prevention and substance use domains.
  • Further investigation into privacy, bias, safety, chatbot functionalities, and underserved populations is crucial.
  • Collaboration between technologists, healthcare providers, and researchers, supported by policymakers, is essential for responsible integration and equitable access.

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...
