FAQ

What are AI explainability tools in healthcare?

They are systems that display reasons or explanations for AI model decisions, such as highlighting image regions that influenced a diagnosis, to increase user trust and understanding.

How do explanation tools differ between non-experts and primary care providers?

Non-experts improve accuracy by relying on the model, while primary care providers may show limited improvement or even decline if explanations conflict with their clinical knowledge.

Should MENA healthcare institutions adopt these tools?

Yes, but cautiously: assess user expertise levels, tailor interfaces accordingly, and invest in training medical teams to interpret AI outputs.
