As the prevalence of Parkinson’s disease increases, so does the interest in using predictive artificial intelligence to support care and self-care.

During a webinar organised by Health Data Sweden on 24 March 2026, Jamie Luckhaus, a PhD student within the AI-PROGNOSIS project, presented the qualitative study “Balancing Hope and Harm: A Qualitative Exploration of Ethical Aspects of using AI in Parkinson’s Disease".

The study drew on reflections from the AI-PROGNOSIS patient panel and focused on the ethical dimensions of AI-based risk prediction, prognosis assessment, and tools supporting medication response.

The webinar highlighted key findings from the study and opened a multidisciplinary discussion on which ethical aspects may be specific to Parkinson’s disease and which may also be relevant to other conditions.
