Research project

COdesigning Trustworthy Autonomous Diabetes Systems (COTADS)

Project overview

COTADS explored how to increase trust of AI used for diabetes management inside and outside clinical settings during life transitions. AI is expected to provide a crucial role in the management of chronic conditions, yet technology-driven solutions are unlikely to be adopted. AI design must consider the complex medical, lifestyle and socio-technical needs at times of uncertainty and life transitions. COTADS brought together people with diabetes, clinicians, and data scientists in a novel co-design process for diabetes risk stratification. Using co-design, provenance, and explainable AI, we enhanced ways to ensure solutions are understandable, transparent, trustworthy, and beneficial.
