“…It is the legal aspect that protects each and every patient's right not to be touched or in any way treated without the patient's authorization. The issue assumes that it is a right of mentally competent adults and of sound mind to determine what should be done with their body and the doctor who performs such thing without patient's consent commits assault for which the doctor is liable in damages" [12,13]. Dental professionals also deal with human rights and situations requiring judgment based on ethical principles and thereby guided by an ethical code of conduct [14].…”

The change in attitude of patients with emphasis on being involved and informed of every aspect of care is not only apparent in adults but also when providing care for children and young adults. It is important for the dentist to be well informed of the fundamental process of informed consent, which exists under the law in order to provide care within the legal framework. The important issue when obtaining consent is competence of the patients to give consent. The burden is on the dental professional to ensure that the patient understands the treatment options. Informed consent decreases the practitioners liability from claims associated with miscommunication. It does not shift the whole responsibility to the patient but should be a partnership between a clinician and a patient in which each has rights and defined responsibilities.

Background The traditional informed consent (IC) process rarely emphasizes research participants’ comprehension of medical information, leaving them vulnerable to unknown risks and consequences associated with procedures or studies. Objective This paper explores how we evaluated the feasibility of a digital health tool called Virtual Multimedia Interactive Informed Consent (VIC) for advancing the IC process and compared the results with traditional paper-based methods of IC. Methods Using digital health and web-based coaching, we developed the VIC tool that uses multimedia and other digital features to improve the current IC process. The tool was developed on the basis of the user-centered design process and Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning. This study is a randomized controlled trial that compares the feasibility of VIC with standard paper consent to understand the impact of interactive digital consent. Participants were recruited from the Winchester Chest Clinic at Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut, and healthy individuals were recruited from the community using fliers. In this coordinator-assisted trial, participants were randomized to complete the IC process using VIC on the iPad or with traditional paper consent. The study was conducted at the Winchester Chest Clinic, and the outcomes were self-assessed through coordinator-administered questionnaires. Results A total of 50 participants were recruited in the study (VIC, n=25; paper, n=25). The participants in both groups had high comprehension. VIC participants reported higher satisfaction, higher perceived ease of use, higher ability to complete the consent independently, and shorter perceived time to complete the consent process. Conclusions The use of dynamic, interactive audiovisual elements in VIC may improve participants’ satisfaction and facilitate the IC process. We believe that using VIC in an ongoing, real-world study rather than a hypothetical study improved the reliability of our findings, which demonstrates VIC’s potential to improve research participants’ comprehension and the overall process of IC.

BACKGROUND The traditional informed consent process rarely emphasizes research participants’ comprehension of medical information, leaving them vulnerable to unknown risks and consequences associated with procedures or studies. OBJECTIVE This paper explores how we evaluated the feasibility of a digital health tool called ‘VIC’ for advancing the informed consent process and compared the results to traditional paper-based methods of informed consent. METHODS By utilizing Digital Health and virtual coaching, we developed the ‘Virtual multimedia interactive Informed Consent’ (VIC) tool that uses multimedia and other interactive digital features to improve the current informed consent process. Development of the tool was based on the user-centered design (UCD) process and on Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning. In a randomized control trial, we compared VIC’s feasibility against standard paper consent to understand the impact of interactive digital consent. Participants were recruited from the Winchester Chest Clinic (WCC) at Yale New Haven Hospital in New haven, CT, as well as from the community using fliers. The trial was coordinator-assisted, and participants were randomized to complete the informed consent process using VIC on the iPad or with traditional paper consent. The study was conducted at WCC and the outcomes were self-assessed through coordinator-administrated questionnaires. RESULTS Overall 50 participants were recruited in the study (VIC: n=25; Paper: n=25). Participant comprehension was high in both groups. VIC participants reported higher satisfaction, higher perceived ease of use, higher ability to complete the consent independently, and a shorter perceived time for completing the consent process. CONCLUSIONS The use of dynamic, interactive audiovisual elements in VIC may improve participants satisfaction and facilitate the informed consent process. We believe that using VIC in an ongoing, real-world study rather than a hypothetical study improved the reliability of our findings which demonstrate VIC’s potential to improve research participant’s comprehension as well as the overall process of the informed consent.
