In a recently published article, Philip von Wedel and Professor Christian Hagist evaluated the preferences and willingness to pay for AI-based assistance tools among German radiologists. Design and pricing preferences were elicited in a comprehensive Discrete Choice Experiment. Among other insights, it was established that almost 50% of German radiologists are already relying on AI-based assistance tools. Therefore, AI is not a hype only, but arrived in practice. Radiologists are overall willing to invest in AI-based assistance tools. Development, funding, and research regarding these tools should, however, consider providers’ preferences for features of immediate everyday and economic relevance like time savings to optimize adoption.
