ABSTRACT

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare by expanding the definition of health and integrating vast amounts of medical data, including unstructured data, into medical science. This transformation highlights the importance of patient participation, reshaping the traditional doctorpatient dynamic into a collaborative relationship that fosters patient empowerment, medical democracy, and accessibility. AI also facilitates shared decision-making between humans and machines, creating hybrid relationships among doctors, patients, and AI systems. As healthcare AI continues to evolve, ethical considerations—particularly regarding patient and citizen participation— become increasingly vital. Despite these advancements, challenges persist in defining participation roles and establishing effective self-regulation frameworks.
