Findings:

  • 64% of surveyed consumers trust AI diagnosis over a human doctor.

  • Younger generations are more trusting of AI in healthcare than older ones.

  • Medical imaging analysis is the most accepted application of AI across all generations.

  • Accuracy of diagnoses is the top concern regarding AI in healthcare, followed by data privacy/security and technical limitations.

  • Respondents are generally comfortable with AI and robotics in medical imaging but less so in invasive surgeries.

Key takeaway:

Consumers are increasingly open to AI in healthcare, especially for medical imaging, but concerns about accuracy and data privacy remain.

Trend:

Growing acceptance of AI in healthcare, particularly among younger generations, but with persistent concerns about accuracy, privacy, and potential job displacement.

Conclusions:

  • Public perception of AI in healthcare is shifting towards greater trust, especially in non-invasive applications like medical imaging.

  • Concerns about accuracy and data privacy need to be addressed to increase acceptance of AI in more sensitive areas of healthcare.

  • Different generations have varying levels of comfort with AI, suggesting a need for targeted education and communication strategies.

Implications for Brands:

  • Healthcare providers and AI companies should prioritize transparency and education to build trust in AI technologies.

  • Focus on developing AI applications with demonstrable accuracy and robust data privacy protections.

  • Tailor communication strategies to different age groups, addressing their specific concerns and highlighting the benefits of AI in healthcare.

  • Invest in training and upskilling healthcare professionals to work alongside AI tools, emphasizing the complementary nature of human and machine expertise.

  • Explore opportunities for AI in non-invasive areas like medical imaging, where consumer acceptance is higher, before gradually expanding to more sensitive applications.
