ABSTRACT
Introduction: The United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) process culminated in the subsequent adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with 17 SDGs at its core, at the UN Sustainable Development Summit in 2015. This study is primed and titled applicability with benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) among healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria.
Methodology: The researchers used a self-administered questionnaire and thirty (30) healthcare workers
were respondents for the study. Data obtained were analyzed using data analysis tools such as frequency
distribution tables and percentages.
Results: The majority of respondents agreed that AI analyzes medical images like X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and mammograms (60.0%) and that AI processes extensive patient data, including medical history, lab results, and genetic information, to aid early disease diagnosis (43.3%). Most of the respondents agreed that AI analyzes biological data to identify drug candidates efficiently (73.3%). Most of the respondents agreed that AI creates personalized treatment plans based on the patient’s medical history, genetics, and lifestyle (83.3%). Most of the respondents strongly agreed that AI-enabled wearables monitor patients’ health metrics remotely (53.3%). The majority of the respondents agreed that AI optimizes resource allocation, including staff, equipment and inventory management (23.3%). Most of the respondents agreed that there is a high level of understanding of artificial intelligence (50.0%). The majority are undecided about Hospital leadership support for AI integration in healthcare (66.6%).
Conclusion: The study concluded the integration of Artificial Intelligence in Edo State University Teaching Hospital offers a promising array of benefits for healthcare workers. It enhances diagnostics, aids in treatment decisions, streamlines record-keeping, optimizes workflows, and supports various aspects of patient care. These advancements have the potential to significantly improve healthcare delivery, making it more efficient, accurate, and accessible in the region.
