abstract = "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. {\textcopyright} 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.",
