Survey on the use of Artificial intelligence (AI) in lung cancer screening
Please note: The College of Respiratory Nurses NZNO is distributing this survey on behalf of the University of Otago/Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka.
Participation is voluntary. The survey invitation follows.
Invitation
We are looking for nurses working in primary health care, respiratory or oncology in Aotearoa New Zealand to take part in a short (15 min) survey of their views on the use of AI in lung cancer screening. AI will inevitably be part of a national lung cancer screening programme, however for implementation to be successful, its use has to be acceptable to both recipients and those delivering the screening.
Your views will and help us plan for lung cancer screening in Aotearoa New Zealand.
