Use AI SafelyAI can be a helpful tool for learning and preparation, but it should be used thoughtfully. Before you use AI:
DO:
- Use trusted and reputable AI tools whenever possible.
- Use AI to learn about your diagnosis and prepare questions for your healthcare team.
- Protect your privacy by avoiding personal or identifying health information.
- Remember that AI may not always provide complete or personalized answers.
DON’T:
- Make treatment decisions or delay treatment.
- Interpret blood counts, biomarker tests, bone marrow biopsy, PET scan, or other test results on your own.
- Compare your lab values without your healthcare team’s
guidance. - Self-diagnose based on symptoms alone.
Before acting on any AI-generated
health information, ask yourself:
DOES THIS ANSWER TELL ME TO DO SOMETHING MEDICALLY DIFFERENT?
If yes, talk to your care team before making any decisions.
CAN I VERIFY THIS INFORMATION THROUGH A TRUSTED SOURCE?
Your care team or advocacy organization can help, including trusted resources within the cancer support community.
DOES THIS MAKE ME FEEL MORE OR LESS ANXIOUS?
If it’s increasing distress, step back and seek human support.
In blood cancer care, AI should help make the journey clearer, not heavier.
Talk to Your Care Team
AI can help you learn, prepare, and feel more informed, but your healthcare team remains your most important source of guidance.
If you have questions or concerns, bring them to your care team so they can provide personalized advice and support.
