Plain-Language Brief
The paper introduces CoPlan, a new AI system designed to aid in care planning. CoPlan allows various stakeholders like clinicians, patients, and caregivers to collaborate on complex decisions by generating potential interventions along with supporting or challenging arguments. Human care planners can then inspect, challenge, revise, or add to these arguments before a final plan is generated. The system also supports adaptive team recruitment, role-based argument review, care plan generation, and practical follow-up.
What the Document Says
- The paper presents CoPlan, an AI-supported human-AI interface for care planning.
- CoPlan uses a multi-agent workflow where AI agents generate candidate interventions and arguments, while humans can accept, reject, modify, or add arguments.
- The system combines co-intelligence (human and AI expertise) with contestability (open to inspection, revision, and justification).
- CoPlan was demonstrated in an aging-in-place care planning scenario.
- The system supports adaptive team recruitment, role-based argument review, final care plan generation, and practical follow-up through scheduling agents.

Raw Abstract / Excerpt
AI-supported care planning can help clinicians, patients, caregivers, and care teams coordinate complex decisions across clinical, functional, psychosocial, and environmental needs. However, many AI systems present recommendations as fixed outputs, limiting stakeholders' ability to inspect, challenge, and revise plans when they conflict with clinical judgment, patient values, or real-world feasibility. We present CoPlan - a Co-Intelligent and Contestable Interface for Human-AI Care Planning. CoPlan uses a multi-agent workflow in which specialized AI agents generate candidate interventions and supporting or challenging arguments, while human care planners can accept, reject, modify, or add arguments before final plan generation. Through this design, CoPlan combines co-intelligence, in which humans and AI agents contribute complementary expertise, with contestability, where recommendations remain open to inspection, revision, and justification. We demonstrate CoPlan in an aging-in-place care planning scenario. The system supports adaptive care team recruitment, role-based argument review, final care plan generation, and practical follow-up through scheduling agents. This work contributes a contestable care planning interface and a design framing for trustworthy human-AI care planning that preserves human agency and clinical accountability.
