Brazilian occupational physicians see significant potential for artificial intelligence (AI) in their practice, particularly for data analysis and report automation. Training is key to unlocking AI
Area of Science:
- Occupational Medicine
- Health Informatics
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Background:
- Advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), are increasingly used in clinical settings.
- Adoption of AI in occupational medicine faces unique challenges.
- Understanding physician perceptions is crucial for technology integration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess Brazilian occupational physicians' views on technology use in their practice.
- To identify perceived benefits and barriers of AI in occupational health.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional, quantitative observational study.
- Structured questionnaire administered to a sample of Brazilian occupational physicians.
- Data collected from May to June 2025.
Main Results:
- 260 physicians responded to the survey.
- Epidemiological data analysis (78%) and automation of reports/evaluations (67%) were identified as high-potential AI applications.
- Physicians recognize AI's potential in areas like leave management and risk factor identification.
Conclusions:
- Broad potential exists for AI in occupational health.
- Key applications include leave management, chronic disease risk identification, and health promotion.
- Professional training and capacity building are essential for effective AI implementation.
