Abstract

Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to influence and has potential to improve various fields in medical care. They have capability of rapidly diagnosing various medical conditions and improve he treatment outcomes in various specializations. The study was done to find out the awareness of AI in Healthcare among medical students in Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu. Methodology: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among 100 medical students studying in a private medical college selected by simple random sampling. A pretested semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection regarding the awareness of AI in Healthcare. Data was entered in Microsoft excel and analyzed by SPSS version 22. Results: Around 85% of the study participants were aware about Artificial Intelligence and 98% were about the attitude that it could improve healthcare. It was found that 82% of the study participants welcomed the idea of AI being used in Healthcare, while 7% were least accepting.
