Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Practice Physician Perspective - 2024

Summary

The AI in Clinical Practice: Physician Perspective - 2024 report by GlobalData explores the application of AI in clinical settings. This report offers a comprehensive overview of how AI is currently utilized and its anticipated future developments across the seven major pharmaceutical markets (7MM): the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and Japan.

Although AI is still a relatively new technology, it is widely recognized as a significant catalyst for future advancements in healthcare. This technology holds the promise of transforming healthcare by optimizing clinical workflows, addressing staffing shortages, and improving the accuracy of diagnoses and treatments. However, the integration of AI into clinical practice must be approached with caution to ensure it is both safe and ethical. Organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) have already urged careful consideration in the adoption of AI technologies in healthcare. Regulatory bodies are also actively working on frameworks to govern the use of AI in the healthcare.

Key Findings of the report include -

• Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually being integrated into healthcare, although its adoption remains slow.
• Spain is establishing itself as a leader in AI adoption within healthcare.
• Physicians with prior experience using AI were more supportive of its integration and use in clinical practice.
• HCPs tended to feel more comfortable using AI to automate administrative tasks than to guide direct patient care.
• HCPs with prior AI in their practices were more comfortable with sales representatives using AI for personalized messaging.
• Physicians with experience using AI were more confident that patients would be comfortable with AI to supporting clinical decisions.
