Advancing dementia preparedness in Low and Middle Income countries: A randomized trial to improve diagnosis in primary care
INTRODUCTION: Dementia disproportionately affects individuals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet diagnostic capabilities there are often inadequate. This study assesses the impact of a structured training program for primary care physicians (PCPs) in Cuba to improve early dementia detection. →

Patient Reactions to Artificial Intelligence-Clinician Discrepancies: Web-Based Randomized Experiment
CONCLUSIONS: Radiologists who recommend less testing than AI may face decreased patient confidence in their expertise, but they may not face this same penalty for giving more aggressive recommendations than AI. Patients’ reactions may depend in part on whether their general preferences to maximize or minimize align with the radiologists’ recommendations. Future research should test… →
