Two-Thirds of Czech Hospitals Utilise Artificial Intelligence
Approximately 45 percent of hospital representatives reported that AI supports their clinical practice, while 15 percent found it either misleading or of no benefit. The survey was conducted as part of the AI Transformation in Healthcare conference, where the Czech Republic unveiled an action plan aiming to position the country as a leader in AI healthcare implementation by 2026.
A total of 64 percent
of hospitals in the Czech Republic use some form of artificial intelligence
(AI) in diagnostics or data processing, according to an exclusive survey
presented at the AI Transformation in Healthcare conference. The survey
included participation from 70 percent of hospitals across the country.
Approximately 45
percent of hospital representatives reported that AI supports their clinical
practice, while 15 percent found it misleading or of no benefit. The remaining
respondents are still analysing its impact and require more time to provide a
definitive answer.
Czech hospitals
employ solutions not only from global manufacturers such as Siemens, GE Healthcare,
and QUIBIM but also from Czech startups like Aireen, Carebot, and Kardi. AI is
most commonly used in X-rays and other imaging devices, such as for
colonoscopies, as well as in dermatology and pathology. It also assists with
the preparation of medical reports and documentation.
The greatest barriers
to AI implementation, according to healthcare professionals, include delayed
digitalisation, outdated systems, legal and ethical concerns, mistrust, and
inaccurate results. Resistance is also encountered from older employees
hesitant to adopt new technologies and fears regarding IT system security.
The survey was
conducted as part of the AI Transformation in Healthcare conference, an event
organised within the framework of AI Month by the Czech Association for
Artificial Intelligence.
The conference
brought together an extraordinary group of participants, ranging from experts
and Czech startups, whose solutions aid in early cancer detection across more
than six European countries, to deputy ministers, directors, chief physicians,
and representatives of the Ministry of Health.
During the event, an
action plan for the Czech Republic was unveiled, aiming to position the country
as a leader in AI healthcare implementation by 2026. The initiative was
endorsed by Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Minister of Health Vlastimil Válek.
