Four Ethical Questions
- Does it help? shorter waits, more consistent scoring.
- Can it harm? false negatives and false positives.
- Is privacy protected? anonymized data, careful handling.
- Is it fair? bias across age/sex groups must be checked.
Safety
Support clinicians, not replace them.
Context
Risks
False negative
Missed case, delayed treatment.
False positive
Extra review, unnecessary stress.
Privacy
Anonymized data, limited movement.
Fairness
Pooled scores can hide subgroup drops.
We will report
Both error types, subgroup slices when possible, and the clinician-in-the-loop boundary.
