Biases in Assigning Emotions in Patients Due to Multicultural Issues

Abstract

The use of AI in medical scenarios is currently biased by a conceptual bias: universal emotions. A real analysis of emotions in real health procedures shows a completely different perspective: emotional responses in medical practices are heavily culturally mediated. Therefore, situated and multicultural approaches must be implemented into medical practices, taking special care of emotional variations. Considering the fundamental role of emotional wellbeing for the good recovery and health advances of options, such variability must be identified and implemented. Here is suggested a way of applying such advice.
