• Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. Systems Anatomy, Decision Physiology, Hygiene of Use (2026) · Journal of Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases · doi

  The challenge is not rapid adoption of AI in medicine, but the sensible integration of these systems into day-to-day practice with sufficient guardrails in place.

• Stakeholder attitudes toward the ethical impact of use of artificial intelligence in clinical practice: a scoping review (2026) · Health and Technology · doi

  While the review covers AI adoption perspectives in specialized areas (radiology, oncology, cardiology, palliative care, psychiatry), there is no systematic investigation of ethical concerns specific to AI-enabled clinical decision support systems in primary care and community health settings where implementation barriers may differ substantially.

• Artificial intelligence and the future of physicians: replacement or partnership? (2026) · Khyber Medical University Journal · doi

  Healthcare institutions lack standardized frameworks for measuring and rewarding human skills (communication, empathy, cultural sensitivity, shared decision-making, bedside reasoning) as distinct competencies within AI-physician hybrid workflows. Institutional reward mechanisms and performance metrics that balance AI technical indicators with human-centered care attributes remain undefined.

• Artificial intelligence approaches to predicting treatment non-adherence in chronic diseases: a narrative review (2026) · Frontiers in Digital Health · doi

  Relatively few studies have evaluated AI-based adherence prediction models prospectively in actual clinical workflows, highlighting a critical gap between methodological development and real-world implementation. Future research must assess technical success factors alongside organizational readiness, clinician engagement, governance oversight, and human-centered design considerations in resource-limited healthcare settings.
