Summary
AI-driven diagnostic support systems can boost accuracy and efficiency, but opaque, usage-based pricing hinders adoption. This European interview study explores ways to make pricing clearer and more predictable, considering technical and organizational factors. Ten themes reveal resistance to usage-based pricing and a desire for transparency. The authors offer design principles and recommendations for pricing models that support procurement, reimbursement, and scaling.
