Thema:

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) “the machine” in healthcare presents unprecedented opportunities but also new challenges for healthcare professionals and students. AI models can generate texts, structure information, and analyze medical data in a fraction of the time it would take a human. However, how do AI-generated outcomes compare to human interpretation? And how can we leverage AI effectively without losing control over content and nuance? This workshop explores the balance between human expertise and algorithmic decision-making. Students and healthcare professionals will be challenged to critically reflect on AI’s role in medical communication, particularly in writing patient-centered texts.

Doel:

The ‘MAN versus MACHINE’ workshop aims to make students, educators, and healthcare professionals aware of the possibilities and limitations of AI in medical communication. Participants will learn to critically engage with AI by writing a patient-friendly text about a disease and comparing it to an AI-generated version. This process will provide insight into language use, accessibility, and the ethical implications of AI in healthcare communication. The workshop consists of three key components:
Information: Introduction to AI’s role in medical communication, including ethical and practical implications. Simulation: Participants write a medical text for patients and generate a comparable AI-generated text. They then analyze differences and similarities. Reflection: A group discussion on language use, clarity, and potential risks of AI in patient communication.

Doelgroep:

This workshop is designed for students, educators, policymakers, and healthcare professionals involved in healthcare education and medical communication.

Opzet: activiteiten en opbrengst:

This interactive workshop provides participants with both technological and critical thinking skills. They will write a short (±150 words) patient-friendly text about a disease, followed by an AI-generated version of the same text. By comparing the two, participants will analyze differences in language, clarity, and accuracy. Through case comparisons and reflection, participants will gain insight into how AI can be used as a tool in healthcare communication and where human expertise remains essential. The workshop begins with an introduction and group formation, followed by the main activity where participants write a patient-friendly text about a disease. AI then generates a similar text, and both versions are compared for language, clarity, and accuracy. Groups compile their results and discuss selected examples, reflecting on the differences between human and AI-generated texts and their implications for healthcare communication. The session ends with a Q&A and evaluation, allowing participants to share insights and lessons learned for future practice.
