Empathic and agentic artificial intelligence in nursing: perspectives on a human-centered framework for cancer care navigation in the United States
Researchers have proposed a human-centered AI framework designed to assist nurses in navigating cancer care, particularly in under-resourced areas of the United States. This framework aims to integrate empathic and agentic AI capabilities, drawing from the American Nurses Association's code of ethics. The goal is to augment, rather than replace, human empathy and agency, thereby improving nurse workflows, patient-clinician relationships, and care coordination services. AI
IMPACT This framework could improve care coordination and support for nurses in underserved cancer care settings.
