Description
Carlos Antonio Godoy Junior, leading ten colleagues, published a 2026 choice study asking caregivers what they want from telemedicine for children receiving palliative care at home. Asynchronous messaging with artificial intelligence support could widen access, yet family priorities were unclear. Thirty-one primary caregivers in a tertiary program completed twelve tasks, each forcing trade-offs among service type, reply time, and fewer hospital visits.
Caregivers preferred joining a service over opting out, and reply time drove about 60 percent of decisions. They modestly favored doctor and nurse supported care over AI-supported care, while fewer hospital visits did not consistently sway choices. Predicted uptake stayed high only when replies came quickly, so the authors urge designs that speed human response rather than replace clinicians.
