Artificial intelligence in medicine: A comprehensive survey of medical doctor’s perspectives in Portugal

Ana Rita Pedro,
Michelle B. Dias,
Liliana Laranjo
et al.

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly influential across various sectors, including healthcare, with the potential to revolutionize clinical practice. However, risks associated with AI adoption in medicine have also been identified. Despite the general understanding that AI will impact healthcare, studies that assess the perceptions of medical doctors about AI use in medicine are still scarce. We set out to survey the medical doctors licensed to practice medicine in Portugal about the impact, advantages… Show more

“…Consistent with earlier studies, our research indicates that nearly half of the respondents have experimented with these AI programs (5, 6). The medical profession broadly anticipates incorporating AI into healthcare, acknowledging its prospective advantages while considering the inherent limitations and challenges (7, 8). According to a survey at a medical school, approximately 33% of the faculty used ChatGPT, mainly for creating multiple-choice questions (9).…”

“…In addition to optimizing efficiency, AI can assist in data analysis and pattern recognition within medical records, aiding clinicians in identifying trends, potential risk factors, and personalized treatment options. Overall, the integration of AI into medical record documentation promises to streamline administrative tasks, enhance data accuracy, and free up valuable time for healthcare professionals to focus on providing high-quality patient-centered care [42]. While the integration of AI in medical record documentation presents significant advantages, its implementation necessitates rigorous validation and continuous refinement to ensure the utmost accuracy, reliability, and compliance with regulatory standards.…”

“…This quadrant includes tasks that are highly repetitive, require low cognitive skills, and have a low impact on patient outcome and can be performed by nonexpert personnel [14]. These tasks can be delegated to algorithms to reduce the workload of nephrologists and free up their time to focus on tasks that require more critical thinking and decision-making skills, such as administrative duties, generating reports, data entry, diet management, education, and other administrative responsibilities.…”

“…This quadrant represents tasks that involve complex interpersonal interactions or require human creativity, emotional intelligence, or judgment and cannot be fully automated in the near future. This might include tasks such as communicating with patients, providing emotional support, complex clinical decision-making, and vascular access management [5][6][7]14]. It is crucial to note that these classifications are not necessarily fixed and may change over time as technology continues to evolve.…”
