Abstract

With the potential to revolutionize clinical diagnosis, artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the healthcare landscape. However, the perceptions of Filipino medical practitioners towards the adoption of AI in clinical settings remain unclear. To address this gap, this study aims to determine and compare the perceptions of Basic Sciences and Clinical Doctors of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute (DLSMHSI) towards AI for clinical diagnosis. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect data from Basic Sciences and Clinical Doctors at DLSUMC. The survey comprised questions on respondents' socio-demographic profiles, familiarity with AI, and perceptions on the utility of AI regarding clinical diagnosis. Aside from providing invaluable insights on the perceptions of Filipino doctors with regards to AI, the findings of this study can be used to formulate strategies that promote the effective and safe implementation of AI in clinical diagnosis ensuring a net benefit for all parties involved. Ultimately, the results garnered in the study will serve as a foundation for policy-making and practice decisions related to AI integration in the Philippine healthcare system.
