Evaluating AI adoption challenges in healthcare using a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making approach: implications for predictive risk analytics.
Article in Frontiers in artificial intelligence, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in predictive healthcare risk analytics can transform clinical decision-making and resource management; however, its implementation is limited by various socio-technical challenges. Methods: This study aims to identify and prioritize the key barriers influencing AI adoption using an integrated Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model. Based on a thorough literature review and expert validation, fifteen challenges were identified and categorized into five dimensions: technological, data-related, organizational, human/social, and ethical-regulatory. The DEMATEL method was used to analyse causal relationships among the challenges, while AHP was employed to determine their relative importance through hierarchical weighting. Results: The results indicate that the most influential structural drivers affecting adoption include data privacy and protection, data quality and completeness, lack of AI governance, and system interoperability, while leadership and strategic alignment emerge as critical organizational enablers. Data-related and governance-oriented challenges emerged as primary causal factors, whereas human-centred and ethical concerns predominantly appeared as dependent outcomes. Discussion: The study concludes that successful adoption of AI in predictive healthcare analytics requires strong leadership support, robust data governance systems, and transparent and interoperable technologies, and provides a structured roadmap for healthcare organizations to achieve scalable and reliable predictive analytics implementation.
