A recent Cleveland Clinic survey indicates that Americans have a cautiously optimistic view of AI in healthcare potential to enhance the quality of their medical care.
According to research, over three out of five Americans think AI would improve heart care, and 65% of them said they would feel comfortable getting cardiac guidance from AI technology. However, many are still hesitant to entrust a computer chatbot with their entire health. For example, even though 72% of respondents think the advice they receive from AI is accurate, nine out of ten (89%) stated they would get a second opinion from a doctor before acting on the recommendations.
Dr. Samir Kapadia, the Cleveland Clinic chair of cardiovascular medicine, stated that “the growing number of advancements in AI and in digital health has the potential to transform healthcare delivery, especially in cardiovascular care.” “As clinicians, we are receiving a lot of inquiries from patients regarding this subject,” stated Kapadia. “As these [technologies] develop, we hope to inform our patients about how AI and other technology can support medical professionals rather than take their place.”
