AI adoption among U.S. cancer centers remains uneven, according to a study published Aug. 26 in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston looked at publicly available data from 75 National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers to assess AI adoption.
Here are three things to know:
- Researchers scored each of the 75 centers on AI use across three areas — screening, treatment and patient care.
- On average, centers had meaningfully adopted AI in only one of the three areas.. Screening tools were the most widely adopted, followed by patient care and treatment-related AI tools.
- AI adoption was more often associated with institutional characteristics than with socioeconomic context, geographic distribution or state-level political environment.
