Why clinical AI goes unused and whether fixing it is worth the investment.
Clinical imaging specialists were underusing Philips AI diagnostic tools — not due to capability gaps, but trust deficits. An HFE & HCI lens on physician distrust, mapped to ROI.
影像临床医生对飞利浦AI诊断工具的使用率偏低——根源不在能力缺口,而在信任缺失。从人因工程与人机交互视角系统分析医生不信任AI的行为成因,并构建信任干预措施与ROI的联合评估框架。

02 / Problem Statement
Users struggle to trust AI with their health
用户在健康领域难以信任AI
AI-assisted health consultation apps are rapidly growing in popularity, bringing both significant opportunity and new challenges to product design. The core tension is not capability — it's calibration.
AI辅助健康咨询应用快速兴起,带来巨大机遇的同时也为产品设计引入了新挑战。核心矛盾不在于技术能力——而在于信任的校准度。
Background
AI Health Tools Are Booming
AI健康工具蓬勃发展
AI-assisted health consultation apps are rapidly growing in popularity, bringing both significant opportunity and new challenges to product design.
AI辅助健康咨询应用快速普及,为产品设计带来显著机遇的同时也引入新挑战。
Problem
Two-Sided Trust Crisis
双向信任危机
Over-trust may lead users to follow advice blindly, posing potential health risks.
Under-trust may cause users to dismiss or ignore the system entirely, preventing these tools from delivering their intended value.
过度信任可能导致用户盲从建议,带来健康风险;信任不足则可能让用户完全忽视系统,使工具无法发挥价值。
Research Question
Calibrated Trust
校准信任
How can user interface design strategies help users establish calibrated trust in AI-assisted health tools?
界面设计策略如何帮助用户在AI辅助健康工具中建立校准信任——在可靠时信任AI,在不确定或高风险时主动核查?
03 / Clinician Trust Research
7 interviews → 5 core trust factors
7次访谈 → 5个核心信任因素
Semester 1 combined an initial literature review on clinician trust in AI, decision-making, and risk evaluation with 7 semi-structured interviews with clinicians and healthcare UX designers. The interviews surfaced five recurring trust factors that became the foundation carried into Semester 2.
第一学期结合文献综述(临床AI信任、决策制定与风险评估)与7次半结构化访谈(受访者含临床医生及医疗UX设计师),梳理出五个反复出现的信任影响因素,构成延续至第二学期的研究基础。
01
Workflow Fit
流程融合
AI must integrate into existing clinical processes without disruption
AI须无缝嵌入现有临床工作流程,不造成干扰
02
User Control
用户控制权
Clinicians need the ability to override or reject AI output
临床医生需要能够覆盖或拒绝AI输出的能力
03
Clinical Reasoning
临床推理对齐
AI outputs must align with how clinicians think and diagnose
AI输出须与临床医生的思维方式和诊断逻辑保持一致
04
Reliability + Transparency
可靠性 + 透明度
Consistent, explainable, and predictable performance
稳定、可解释且可预测的性能表现
05
Ethical Data Use
数据伦理
Patient safety, privacy, and clear accountability
患者安全、隐私保护与明确的责任归属
Key takeaway: Trust depends on control, reasoning, and accountability. These factors became the research foundation bridging clinician research (Semester 1) to consumer product design (Semester 2) — confirmed by a literature cross-comparison showing the same core drivers hold across both populations.
核心结论:信任的根基在于控制权、推理逻辑与责任归属。文献交叉对比同样证实,这些驱动因素在临床医生与普通消费者两类群体中具有普遍性。
04 / MaxDiff Survey
Quantifying what drives trust
量化信任驱动因素
To translate shared trust factors into product priorities, we ran a MaxDiff (Best-Worst Scaling) survey on Qualtrics. Forced-choice methodology removes rating-scale bias — participants select the MOST and LEAST important feature each round, producing relative importance scores across all 12 items.
为将共同信任因素转化为产品优先级,我们在Qualtrics上进行了MaxDiff(最优最劣量表)调研。强迫选择方法消除评分量表偏差——参与者每轮选出最重要与最不重要的功能,生成所有12项功能的相对重要性得分。
Top Ranked
最高排名功能
- Error correction control错误纠正控制
- Clear AI explanationAI解释清晰度
- Privacy label transparency隐私标签透明度
- Institutional trust signals机构信任信号
- Data control rights数据控制权
Bottom Ranked
最低排名功能

- Non-directive AI guidance非指令性AI引导
- AI frequency controlAI推送频率控制
User Differences
用户群体差异
- Lower AI familiarity → privacy + trust signalsAI熟悉度低 → 优先隐私+信任信号
- Higher AI familiarity → explanation + source transparencyAI熟悉度高 → 优先解释+来源透明度
Users prioritize the same factors clinicians did —
control, transparency, and accountability — reaffirming these as universal trust drivers across both clinical and consumer populations.
用户与临床医生优先考量同样的因素——控制权、透明度与责任归属——印证了这些因素作为跨群体普遍信任驱动力的核心地位。
05 / Design Requirements
From insights to design criteria
从洞察到设计标准
Each design requirement maps directly from a user insight surfaced through clinician interviews, comparative analysis, and survey results. Four requirements, four interventions.
每项设计需求均直接来源于临床访谈、竞品分析和调研结果所揭示的用户洞察。四项需求,四个干预方向。

06 / Prototyping Iteration
Three rounds, from 64 prompts to vibe code
三轮迭代,从64条Figma AI提示词到代码
Prototyping moved through three distinct modes — each building on the previous, tightening the alignment between research insights and implemented features. Figma AI for ideation; Claude Code for implementation.
原型设计经历三种不同模式——每一轮在前一轮基础上深化,持续收紧研究洞察与功能实现之间的对齐度。Figma AI用于原型制作,Claude Code用于工程实现。
01
Prompt Prototyping
提示词原型
Defined the product via structured prompts to Figma AI, establishing scope before building.
通过结构化提示词驱动Figma AI定义产品形态,在动手构建前先确立边界。
- User: general consumers, not clinicians目标用户:普通消费者,非临床医生
- Three screens: Home · Q&A · Report Upload三个核心页面:首页 · 问答 · 报告上传
- Informational only — no medical diagnosis仅提供信息参考,不做医学诊断
- Apple Health-inspired aesthetic参考Apple Health的视觉风格
02
Research-Aligned Iterative
研究驱动的迭代原型
Applied the five trust factors directly to the prototype across 67+ versions.
将五个信任因素直接映射到原型,历经67+个版本迭代。
- Transparency: data usage visible before AI answers透明度:AI回答前始终展示数据来源
- Privacy: incognito mode + repeated assurances隐私:无痕模式 + 多次明示隐私保护
- Control: data permissions + accept/reject output控制权:数据授权 + 接受/拒绝AI输出

08 / Findings & Next Steps
From findings to design opportunity
从发现到设计机会
Testing revealed a clear split: features grounded in data visibility and explainability performed well; features relying on abstract indicators or binary controls confused users and undermined the trust they were designed to build.
测试揭示了一个清晰的分界:基于数据可视性与可解释性的功能表现良好;依赖抽象指标或二元控制的功能让用户困惑,反而削弱了本应建立的信任。
What Worked Well
