THE AWARENESS OF MEDICAL WORKERS ON THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED SOLUTIONS USED IN GASTROENTEROLOGY: AN EXPLORATORY SURVEY
Abstract
Recently, significant changes regarding the approaches in several areas of daily life, healthcare, and research are emerging due to technological advance. The benefits of using artificial intelligence (AI) in medical care are suggestive. However, the opinion of the users could suggest several potential limitations. We aimed to evaluate the trends in understanding and using the AI-based solutions available in Medicine. Materials and methods: An online survey was designed and distributed to the members of the local academic and healthcare community regarding their perception on the AI-based applications used in their area of expertise. Furthermore, several items aimed to evaluate the perception of the potential users on the perceived advantages and weaknesses of AI-based applications in healthcare and medical research. Results: One hundred and fifteen medical workers were recruited for this study, of mean age 41 ± 10.07 years, and of whom 56.5 % were women. The majority of the responses demonstrated general understanding of AI-based applications in daily life and in medical act. As emphasized by several participants, some of the limitations of AI use in healthcare could arise based on AI-based solutions. Despite this, AI-based resources could offer high performance solutions to medical care and research consequent to technological progress. However, one of the most important drawbacks of AI-based solutions used in medical care could be related to the empathy involved in patient management. Conclusions: Further studies regarding the possible means to improve algorithm-based decision-making processes could be addressed to minimize AI-based solutions in medical care.
