One in four believe AI will make treatment cheaper, with 56%
confident AI-designed drugs will lead to healthcare cost
reductions
NEW
YORK, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Customertimes, a best-in-class digital consultancy that
helps businesses overcome their most complex challenges, has today
released the results of a new nationwide survey, revealing
America's growing optimism for artificial intelligence (AI) in the
healthcare space.
With the right supervision and processes in
place, AI has the potential to breathe new life into the healthcare
field—without burdening struggling patients with crippling medical
debt.
With nearly half of all American adults having faced issues with
medical bills in the past year and 75% "very" worried about the
financial implications of an unexpected health emergency, soaring
healthcare costs have become an epidemic problem. With the
presidential election approaching, healthcare affordability is one
of the primary issues that voters hope candidates will address —
with hope growing that the deployment of AI in medicine and
healthcare can provide a solution.
The Customertimes survey, which polled 2,000 adults across the
US, revealed:
- 48% are optimistic about AI's potential in healthcare,
including improving diagnostic accuracy (43%), delivering better
patient outcomes (29%), and improving efficiency (43%)
- One in four believe AI will make healthcare cheaper, while 56%
believe AI-designed drugs will reduce medication costs
- 62% believe AI will outperform humans at diagnosing and
treating conditions, with one in five fully trusting AI-powered
healthcare and 40% willing to follow AI-generated medical
advice
- One in four are optimistic about AI drug development, with 40%
believing AI can effectively predict the effects of a
treatment
- 53% are confident that healthcare innovation, such as AI cancer
detection tools, can help to cure deadly diseases
- 38% believe AI could soon replace doctors, while nearly one in
seven believe the technology will save jobs in the healthcare
industry
Max Votek, a
pharmacist-turned-entrepreneur and a co-founder of Customertimes,
believes AI could revitalize America's struggling healthcare
sector, commenting: "With the right supervision and processes in
place, AI has the potential to breathe new life into the healthcare
field—without burdening struggling patients with crippling medical
debt. AI appointment scheduling software that reduces wait times
and AI medical imaging that delivers near-instant diagnoses are no
longer the work of science fiction. The technology is here, and
we're already seeing the benefits of AI in hospitals and surgeries.
Given the sector is in such ill health, it's welcomed news that the
American public is already on board with AI's transformative
potential.
"We know that people place huge amounts of faith in medical
practitioners. The good news is, AI's potential isn't in replacing
your trusted doctors and nurses but supercharging their efficiency
to deliver better outcomes for you and those around you," — Votek
added.
