Abstract
The healthcare sector is currently undergoing a significant transformation, driven by an increased utilization of data. In this evolving landscape, surveys are of pivotal importance to the comprehension of patient needs and preferences. Moreover, the digital affinity of patients and physicians within the healthcare system is reforming the manner in which healthcare services are accessed and delivered. The utilization and donation of data are influencing the future of medical research and treatment, while artificial intelligence (AI) is empowering patients and physicians with knowledge and improving healthcare delivery. In order to evaluate the opinions of patients and physicians regarding the management of personal health data and the functionality of upcoming data management devices in the context of healthcare digitization, we conducted an exploratory study and designed a survey. The survey focused on a number of key areas, including demographics, experience with digitization, data handling, the identification of needs for upcoming digitization, and AI in healthcare. A total of 40 patients and 15 physicians participated in the survey. The results indicate that data security, timesaving/administrative support, and digital communication are aspects that patients associate with patient-friendly digitization. Based on the responses provided by physicians, it might be concluded that future digital platforms should prioritize usability, time efficacy, data security, and interoperability. In terms of expectations for future digital platforms, there is a notable overlap between the needs expressed by patients and those identified by physicians, particularly in relation to usability, time management, data security, and digital communication. This suggests that the requirements of different stakeholders can be combined in a future system, although individual issues may still require attention.
