This chapter addresses the role of presence or “the perceptual illusion of nonmediation” [26] in user responses to technologies for healthcare, with particular attention to intelligent decision support systems (IDSS). It begins by defining presence and reviewing relevant research on presence-related responses to agents, virtual reality systems, and other technologies. It then discusses the implications of presence to researchers and health practitioners with an interest in IDSS, including a series of recommendations.
