Melbourne Sexual Health Centre (MSHC) has developed an AI-assisted screening application (app) called AiSTi for the detection of common STI-related anogenital skin conditions. This study aims to understand the community's preference for using the AiSTi app.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We used a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to understand community preferences regarding the attributes of the AiSTi app for checking anogenital skin lesions. The DCE design included the attributes: data type; AI accuracy; verification of result by clinician; details of result; speed; professional support; and cost. The anonymous DCE survey was distributed to clients attending MSHC and through social media channels in Australia between January and March 2024.

In the RPL model, the most influential attribute was the cost of using the app (24.1%), followed by the clinician's verification of results (20.4%), the AI accuracy (19.5%) and the speed of receiving the result (19.1%). The LCA identified two distinct groups: 'all-rounders' (88%), who considered every attribute as important, and a 'cost-focussed' group (12%), who mainly focussed on the price.

In the short term, a more feasible scenario of improving AI accuracy to 80-89% with clinician verification at a $5 cost could increase uptake to 90%.
