Description
Sarah Vordenberg and co-authors survey older adults about AI medication advice in this 2024 study. Letting a drug go can be wise when risks outweigh gains. Chatbot-style tools now offer such advice directly. The team asked 1,245 Americans over sixty-five how likely they were to stop a drug, depending on who advised it.
Three example drugs and five advice sources were rotated through the survey. Advice from a personal doctor won by far, with pharmacists second. AI sources trailed well behind in every form. Trust rose with confidence in apps and health portals, and fell with higher health literacy. Designers must earn trust before AI advice lands.
