FINE RESEARCH SURVEY REVEALS HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF AI

 

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD FULL REPORT

Fine Research is pleased to announce the release of a comprehensive report about
IA Impact in HCP practice in Latin America and Spain.

This large sclae survey, encompasses 1352 healthcare practitioners to gain
insights into how healthcare professionals perceive artificial intelligence (AI)
and its potential impact on their professional practices.

This survey initiative is a part of Fine Research’s corporate social
responsibility program. It represents an effort to engage with a public interest
topic, conducted independently of any specific client, with the intention of
fostering discussion and knowledge-sharing within the medical and insights
communities.

Furthermore, this project contributes to social impact by linking each HCP
survey response to a donation to the Save The Children program, aimed at
supporting indigenous communities in Oaxaca, Mexico.

AI in Healthcare

Healthcare practitioners, while possessing a degree of familiarity with AI,
primarily associate this technology with various applications in their daily
lives. However, only a minority of HCPs are actively acquainted with AI’s
current use in their professional domain. Presently, the most prevalent
application of AI in healthcare is the utilization of virtual chatbots, with
ChatGPT being a notable example.

To investigate the potential efficacy of AI as a support tool, a small-scale
experiment was conducted. Four oncologists and ChatGPT were asked to provide
insights on the future of oncology. Subsequently, the 1352 participating
physicians were presented with these responses and asked to identify the one
they deemed most suitable. Remarkably, ChatGPT generated an answer that was
perceived by participants as equivalent to those from oncology specialists, with
ChatGPT’s response and one oncologist’s response receiving the highest ratings.
Interestingly, the majority of doctors were unable to distinguish between
AI-generated and human-authored responses. Those who correctly identified
ChatGPT’s response often did so based on its perceived level of elaboration,
while those who missed tended to consider it too well-crafted to be
algorithmically generated.

The survey’s experiment, involving AI-generated responses and human specialists’
insights, demonstrated that AI can produce responses that are on par with those
from domain experts, often leaving healthcare practitioners unable to
differentiate between the two. This intriguing finding underscores the potential
of AI to assist and augment medical decision-making.

While physicians exhibit a strong belief in AI’s transformative potential within
their specialty, they maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook on its benefits.
Consequently, they express a strong desire for training to equip them for the
integration of this technology into their medical practice.

However, some concerns remain. Physicians are apprehensive about the potential
interference of technology in their patient relationships, including the risks
associated with self-diagnosis and the erosion of the physician-patient bond. A
secondary concern pertains to the possibility of diagnostic or treatment errors
due to technology or its misuse, leading to challenges in determining
responsibilities, establishing regulatory policies, and addressing uncertainties
in the event of potential harm.

Awareness of privacy breaches and concerns related to algorithm-associated
discrimination and disparities in access also exist among healthcare
practitioners.

Overall, healthcare practitioners advocate for a cautious approach to AI
integration in medicine, with only a minority holding either enthusiastic or
hypercritical positions. Notably, there are regional variations, with Spanish
HCPs being more inclined to support AI development, while Latin American HCPs
express more reservations. Similar differences are observed by medical
specialty, with fields such as Oncology, Rheumatology, and Cardiology displaying
heightened interest.

AI in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Healthcare practitioners consider AI’s most promising application in the
pharmaceutical sector to be in the discovery of new medications. Additionally,
AI’s use in the design and execution of clinical trials, with the potential to
accelerate timelines and facilitate personalized precision medicine, garners
significant interest.

Conversely, the use of chatbots or virtual platforms for direct patient
interaction appears to be less appealing to HCPs. While there is a demand for AI
training, not all physicians believe that the pharmaceutical industry should
take the lead in providing such training. Brazilian physicians, in particular,
exhibit a lower level of receptiveness to this idea.

Furthermore, most healthcare professionals anticipate a significant
transformation in sales representative visits facilitated by AI. This
transformation presents both positive aspects, such as AI’s ability to identify
personalized treatment recommendations, and potential drawbacks, including the
weakening of professional relationships.

Conclusion: Embracing AI in Healthcare with both Caution and Optimism

In conclusion, the survey conducted by Fine Research sheds light on the
perceptions of healthcare practitioners regarding the integration of artificial
intelligence into their professional lives.

As the healthcare community navigates the evolving landscape of AI, the survey
results suggest that a cautious approach is favored, with an emphasis on ethical
considerations, responsible use, and continued professional development.
Striking the right balance between embracing AI’s potential and addressing its
associated challenges will be crucial in shaping the future of healthcare.

STANDING FOR QUALITY AT ESOMAR 2022

 

 

 

Toronto, September 2022.-  A very enlightening panel discussion was held during
ESOMAR’s 2022 annual conference in Toronto around survey quality. 

More specifically speakers highlighted the evolving methods of survey imposters
as an increasingly critical problem in the insights industry.

InnovateMR and Opinion Route shared an original work through their presentation
“Freeze Fraudster” which included videos with real fraudsters disclosing their
tricks, something that was never seen is this type of events.

Later an expert panel discussion was lead by Diego Casaravilla (FINE’s CEO and
Conference Programme Committee Member) with the participation of Sandy Casey
(SVP of Global Supply at InnovateMR), Rich Ratcliff (Chief Product Officer of
OpinionRoute), Vignesh Krishnan (CEO and Founder of Research Defender), Kyle
Hope (head of Supply and Partnerships at Quest Mindshare) and Leib Litman
(co-founder and Chief Research Officer at CloudResearch).

An eye-opening exchange included detailing current solutions and also proposed
actions to address this serious risk.

Some takeaways from this discussion were:

1.  Fraud is a serious threat to our activity since is putting in jeopardy the
trust in our surveys. No matter how sophisticated the statistical or analytical
models are, they become useless if not fed by real human beings providing
genuine responses. While fraud is not new, it has been accelerated by the
increased adoption of virtual currencies, as a means for respondents
compensation.

2.  Fraud is everywhere not just in Market Research, and experience shows that
only way to properly handle it, is to have a specific strategy and this should
include proper fraud detection procedures and full transparency. There are a
variety of tricks fraudsters employ, some involving sophisticated software or
clicking farms and robots, others more manual procedures and each of these
require specific detection responses.

3. Sample partners should be accountable and take responsibility for the quality
they deliver, and is critical to know who is working in each project and what
are they doing to prevent fraud. But is also an industry problem and all
stakeholders should participate including the associations, sample suppliers,
agency and end users. We need to define a set of best practices and guidelines
to agree on a universally and verifiable approach that takes care of the privacy
but also provides transparency and confidence.

At FINE we take quality very seriously. We understand as our primary
responsibility to have an active role in controlling sample quality. 

Some of our procedures include:

– We only invite previously verified respondents (namely doctors verified by
national medical registries)

– Avoid virtual currencies and only pay through named bank accounts by wire
transfer thus ensuring traceability and using same identification procedures as
the banking industry.

– Use digital fingerprint technology to fully track responses and detect
duplications.

– Have an active blacklisting procedure avoiding not only potential fraudsters
but also speeders and disengaged respondents from taking part.

– Run due diligence on any name change request to ensure is not a fraud. 

– Make a company commitment from our CEO, to every PM, quality officer and field
staff member to employ all needed controls and technologies to ensure we only
provide genuine data to our clients.

ONE THOUSAND MESSAGES FOR THE HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE IN UKRAINE

 

 

 

April, 2022

We are very glad to share that we have delivered 2460 support messages prepared
by Latin America healthcare professionals to the Save The Children Humanitarian
Response team who is working in the  borders of Ukraine to assist the refugees
fleeing from the horrors of the war.

Save the Children team is receiving kids and their families, providing food,
hygiene kits, toys, and installing safe spaces where children can play, learn
and survive the duel and the loss.

We simply asked these healthcare workers to dedicate a few seconds to give a
message of encouragement and to meet the challenge of getting at least 1000
messages.

While the campaign involved a base donation, FINE committed to double the amount
if we were able to reach at least this number of messages in order to generate a
wide engagement with the initiative.

We were delighted to learn that in just one week we received this large amount
of support provided by primary care doctors, nurses, and other specialists from
17 countries. These were translated into English, Polish, Rumanian and Ukrainian
and delivered to Save The Children along with an associated donation.

Let us share a few that we believe summarize the spirit of all the messages
received

“Thank you for being right now where you are most needed, for being those heroes
who without weapons give encouragement and support to all those people.”, tells
Maria, an Argentine Pediatrician

“You are the helping hand and the joy of all the people who cross the border; I
join you from the bottom of my heart and with my best wishes so that the
refugees of war may find peace in you.”, comments David from Venezuela

“Medicine means many things, but the most important are compassion and service,
it is you who best represent the value and importance of medical care.”  shares
Oscar,  a primary care physician from the Dominican Republic.

We are very proud about the community response and do hope that these messages
may add some comfort and strength and help these workers to realize that they
are not alone.

This group of healthcare workers from Latin America join millions around the
world who celebrate that even in the midst of the horror, there is an incredible
and sensitive team who is in the field helping the children and their families
to go through this extremely difficult journey.

Save The Children team was kind enough to send back a message to share with our
community which tells:   

“Hello everyone at Fine Research. My name is Rebecca Davis and I´m with Save The
Children International. I have received and have sent to our field teams in
Ukraine and in the neighbour countries where we are working, your words of
comfort, of humanity and solidarity. … I know there were many many many messages
who spoke words of, again, solidarity and peace with aid workers and our own
medical teams on the ground in Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Romania. Thank you so
much for being a partner and thank you for your own work that you do and your
own humanitarianism. We are so so very grateful…”

POST-COVID HEALTHCARE IN LATIN AMERICA

 

 

March 2022

During ESOMAR’s webcast Dynamic, Diverse, Digital we shared trends from our HCP
ongoing tracking study and which are the likely trends for the post-covid
future. 

 This is an initiative that Fine Research has been developing since March 2020
and which involved collecting data from over 16,000 interviews from LatAm HCPs.
It has been widely used by researchers, healthcare decision makers, and
marketers as a reference to understand and preview the ongoing transformations
in healthcare in the region.

A summary of results was publish at Research World Magazine and the article can
be accessed here

The last wave includes responses from 2,521 medical professionals from Brazil,
Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Chile, covering the post-pandemic scenario on
topics such as telemedicine, impact on diseases, emotional health of doctors and
patients, COVID vaccines and relationships with the pharma industry.

You can read our executive summary below or check our  FULL REPORT

Is Post-COVID already here?

It is not difficult to set a list of abrupt changes that we have seen during
this pandemic. However, it may be more challenging to identify which of these
have been merely circumstantial and which are trends that will grow and
consolidate over time.

In order to address such broad topic, we can put ourselves in the shoes of the
HCPs as key stakeholders of the healthcare system. The first and most intriguing
question is whether we are already in the post-pandemic.

On this point there is no unified front among healthcare professionals other
than praising the benefits of vaccination. Vaccination against COVID has been
massively valued by professionals, and in the last six months they have shown an
increased trust in vaccines. But is the combination of comprehensive vaccination
and a temporary drop of cases a firm trend? Or shall we expect in LatAm what we
see in some other parts of the world with repeated waves and spread of new virus
variants?

By November 2021, only 8% believed that their country was still in an acute
phase of the epidemic. In general, while the improvement in the reduction of
severe cases is acknowledged, physicians tended to be cautious and the return of
severe waves of COVID – albeit not an unanimously anticipated outcome – is the
most likely scenario for HCPs in Colombia and Mexico. On the other side of the
spectrum, Brazilian doctors are significantly more confident that severe waves
are unlikely to return.

Beyond the varied perspectives, it is noticeable that physicians present a more
cautious vision than their own patients, who are mostly confident that serious
waves are part of the past and even, for many, that the pandemic is already
completely over in their country.

But in this context of cautious optimism , it is worth asking – assuming there
are no abrupt changes – how permanent will these transformations we have seen
over time be?

Worsening of health conditions

Among the trends that were intense at the peak of the pandemic – but
circumstantial in nature – are the reduction in the number of treated patients
and the limited operation of healthcare institutions across different
specialties.

The sharp plunge in visits to doctors during the most intense phase of the
pandemic undoubtedly stands out in Latin America. In May 2020, we identified a
61% drop in the number of patients seen in relation to pre-pandemic levels. The
data further suggests that this was only marginally offset by the increased use
of non-face-to-face forms of care, whether by telephone, WhatsApp or
videoconferencing, making the impact of reduced medical care extremely relevant.

At that time, physicians identified that only 6 out of 10 of their patients
managed to keep an adequate adherence to their treatments, with slight
variations among the different diseases such as diabetes, cancer, HIV, or
autoimmune, heart and respiratory diseases.

They also reported a significant drop in preventive medicine and, for example,
the number of breast or prostate cancer screenings in October 2020 fell by more
than 60% from pre-pandemic levels, according to data previously released by
Fine.

In November 2021, in a context where COVID-19 cases and mortality in the region
have tended to decline, at least temporarily, professionals reported that
patients have lost their fear of infection in the examination room (and also in
clinical tests) and therefore face-to-face care is almost reestablished.
Considering the estimates of more than 2500 doctors in the region, the number of
patients seen is now only 16% below pre-COVID levels.

However, the worsening of many diseases is still reflected in clinical practice.
For example, more than 4 out of 10 physicians report complications of chronic
diseases and late diagnoses due to lack of consultation during the pandemic.

In addition, this reduced contact has been paralleled by other health effects,
and physicians describe most of their patients as showing a more sedentary
lifestyle and a worsening of eating habits, in a context of increased economic
restrictions.

Professionals from Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, moreover, are the ones who most
strongly express the impact of the weakened economy on the access to healthcare
and claim that about half of their patients are facing financial restrictions
that limit their access to medicines and even to medical consultation.

Considering the significant levels of infection in the region, this is followed
by post COVID or long COVID syndrome, which is also a significant area of
concern for HCPs.

Increased fatigue is the most common symptom, but also shortness of breath,
joint or chest pain, cardiovascular and psychiatric/neurological symptoms,
resulting in general in a worsening of quality of life for these patients.

Would this be worsening further over time? Not necessarily, and the good news is
that physicians estimate that in 12 months the levels of reduced adherence and
late diagnosis would tend to be mitigated by the current normalization of
patient care.

Emotional Impact

It will take longer, however, to reverse the emotional aftermath of the
pandemic. Increased anxiety, resulting from increased mental health
vulnerability, is affecting 2 out of 3 of their patients, as reported by
professionals.

Although 3 out of 10 doctors believe that the emotional impact of the pandemic
tends to remain at lower levels, almost half of them imagine that it will
worsen.

The latter is valid for patients but also for physicians, and 9 out of 10
doctors acknowledge being emotionally affected. More than a quarter of the 2521
doctors surveyed in November 2021 report not sleeping as well as before the
pandemic; a third feel more pressured and anxious, and more than half report
being more tired.

Even with the decrease in cases, nearly a quarter of physicians say they fear
getting COVID or infecting their families. While it is true that the fear of
infection has plummeted, it is noteworthy that almost 4 out of every 10 doctors
have received a positive diagnosis of COVID, which is obviously several times
the reported figures in the populations of the different countries.

In fact, more than half of the professionals report having been in contact with
COVID-infected patients in the past week.

There have been, however, a few variations in physicians’ feelings. In a
population where vaccination has advanced rapidly, doctors consistently report
less concerns about personal and family infection, they experience less
uncertainty, and have also overcome the isolation experienced at the peak of the
pandemic.

However, physicians’ fatigue stands out more nowadays, and the proportion of
professionals who recognize that they are more easily irritated is also higher
compared to the data we collected in May 2020.

Consequently, the higher level of risk of burn-out in the profession should not
come as a surprise. And indeed, 9 out of 10 doctors believe it has increased and
will remain relevant in the foreseeable future. Despite the fact that a good
part of the doctors believe that the next waves of COVID will be more benign,
the risk of burn-out emerges as a trend that a relative majority believes will
be heightened or continue as is now and only less than a third of the doctors
believe that it will tend to reduce.

Virtual healthcare

Regarding telemedicine, the most frequent perspective is to imagine its
continuity, but at a lower level than during the pandemic.

Today, 82% of consultations in the region are face-to-face and two thirds of
physicians say that in the future they would only use telemedicine in a few
cases or that it is not applicable to them at all. However, 3 out of 10 imagine
a hybrid model where they will switch face-to-face with virtual healthcare.

Applications specialized in virtual medical care still account for a marginal
portion of consultations (only 3%) with the most common forms of telemedicine
being the use of telephone, email, chats or in some cases the videoconferencing
platforms that are most commonly used by the general population.

In our opinion, the data suggests that telemedicine will accelerate much more
slowly than the dizzying pace it showed during the pandemic, but it is far from
disappearing, defining a permanent niche in medical care for some specialties,
types of patients or methods of consultation organized by healthcare
organizations.

Its expansion is facilitated by the fact that professionals see the growth in
the use of electronic prescribing as a firmly established trend.

Virtual fatigue and the craving for in-person connections

In any case, any use of telemedicine will coexist with a strong preference for
face-to-face relationships. Consistently what we see across the board is a
certain fatigue with excessive virtual communication and an appetite for the
return of face-to-face relationships at all levels.

For example, webinars have multiplied in all professions and medical training
has been no exception, yet while nearly 3 out of 10 doctors would like to
receive more invitations to webinars, an equivalent proportion would prefer to
receive fewer or none. This contrasts with the interest for in-person medical
conferences, of which 6 out of 10 would like to receive more invitations and
only 1 out of 10 would like to receive fewer or none.

Likewise, we see that a majority of doctors recognize the sharp drop in visits
from representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, but 70% of those
interviewed are quite or very interested in receiving these visits.

This does not mean that they want to discontinue non-face-to-face relationships,
but rather that face-to-face visits emerge as an indispensable factor that they
imagine should be part of the future relationship between doctors and the
industry.

Half call for a return to a format based primarily on face-to-face relationships
and an almost similar proportion favor a format that combines face-to-face and
virtual ones. Only 6% choose a future made exclusively of virtual connections.

Takeaways

In summary, the pandemic has profoundly modified the landscape of the healthcare
system and the relationship between its participants.

Undoubtedly, the current situation shows a reversal of several trends, while
others seem to persist further, and the challenge for the different actors will
be how to better integrate hybrid relationship models that can take advantage of
the benefits of technology with the face-to-face approaches generally preferred
by healthcare professionals all over Latin America. This is valid for patient
care but also for prescription, training, and interaction with the
pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence provided by this survey strongly supports the need for policies
aimed at mitigating the multiple consequences of the pandemic on the population
health. This goes beyond the efforts – very necessary but also insufficient – of
COVID vaccination and treatment, to include support to the healthcare system in
order to deal with low adherence, late diagnosis, post covid syndrome, increased
restrictions to healthcare access and emotional vulnerabilities.

Finally, the data also reinforce evidences of the increased burn out risk in the
profession and the need to create specific policies aimed at “caring for those
who care for us” as an urgent priority.
