A new report by Elsevier has revealed that over 40% of clinicians in India are now using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for work purposes, a three-fold jump from 12% last year. This adoption rate is higher than the global average of 48%, as well as the United States (US) (36%) and the United Kingdom (UK) (34%). However, it trails behind China (71%) and the Asia Pacific region (56%).
The Clinician of the Future 2025 report, based on a survey of 2,200 clinicians across 109 countries, including 275 from India, highlighted that 52% of Indian clinicians expect most patients to self-diagnose using AI in the near future, compared to the global average of 38%. The study also noted that Indian clinicians foresee progress towards universal healthcare and equity, aligning with the National Digital Health Blueprint launched in 2019.
The report emphasized gaps in structured AI training and comprehensive governance, with many clinicians calling for stronger support from institutions. Chairman of Elsevier Health in India, Mr. Shanker Kaul, noted that the enthusiasm for AI represents a tremendous opportunity, but stressed the need for investment in digital literacy, especially in rural areas, alongside robust policy action.
The report concluded that while government initiatives to expand digital health infrastructure are commendable, faster action is required to reduce administrative burdens, build trust in AI solutions, and accelerate India’s healthcare transformation. The rapid adoption of AI in healthcare is expected to significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy, patient care, and overall healthcare efficiency, paving the way for a more equitable and advanced healthcare system in India.
