AI saves clinicians time despite training gaps
A global study by Philips found that nearly half of healthcare professionals save at least 132 hours annually using AI tools. However, 70% of clinicians report that training is inadequate or unavailable, leading many to use personal AI tools to manage their clinical workloads and administrative workloads.

The findings, based on surveys of 2,011 healthcare professionals and 20,085 patients, highlight a gap between rapid tool adoption and institutional support. The data indicates that while AI improves clinical precision, a lack of structured education forces many clinicians to rely on personal tools.
