Perception of Synthetic Data: Insights from Healthcare Practitioners. An Exploration of Attitudes for Synthetic Data in Healthcare.
(2024) INFM10 20241Department of Informatics
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Synthetic data is becoming more accessible and presents several benefits over traditional human-derived data for developing healthcare technology, especially in medical imaging systems. The primary reasons for using synthetic data are to minimise the potential privacy risks associated with real human data and to substantially increase the overall volume of available data. Previous research has largely focused on quantitative efficiency, with little attention given to practitioners' perceptions of synthetic data, and its overall consequences for their role as care providers. After interviewing practitioners with different medical specialties, the respondents made it evident that synthetic data alters the perception of technology if used in... (More)
- Synthetic data is becoming more accessible and presents several benefits over traditional human-derived data for developing healthcare technology, especially in medical imaging systems. The primary reasons for using synthetic data are to minimise the potential privacy risks associated with real human data and to substantially increase the overall volume of available data. Previous research has largely focused on quantitative efficiency, with little attention given to practitioners' perceptions of synthetic data, and its overall consequences for their role as care providers. After interviewing practitioners with different medical specialties, the respondents made it evident that synthetic data alters the perception of technology if used in the optimisation process of the technology with both negative and positive attributes. Trust in synthetic data is ambivalent due to concerns about its novelty. Synthetic data plays a pivotal role in structural changes, not by replacing practitioners, but by shifting the distribution of skills. Synthetic data may also subtly shift the practitioner-patient relationship, potentially distancing or enhancing their connection. (Less)
