Singapore, June 12: Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today released the Asia Pacific (APAC) findings from its 10th annual Future Health Index (FHI) report, the largest global healthcare survey of its kind. The report draws insights on key concerns from healthcare professionals and patients in 16 countries, including Australia, Indonesia, and South Korea. Findings show that despite strong optimism about artificial intelligence's (AI) potential to ease pressure on APAC's healthcare systems, trust and implementation concerns persist. 66% of patients surveyed in APAC are experiencing delays in seeing specialist doctor, with an average waiting time of 47 days. 89% of healthcare professionals believe that AI and predictive analytics can save lives by facilitating earlier interventions. Building trust among patients and healthcare professionals around AI key to driving wider adoption.
