Smart devices such as smartwatches, wristbands, bracelets, glasses, or fitness trackers can instantly measure and provide a clear picture of a user's health, including body mass index, calories burned, sleep duration and quality, heart rate, blood sugar level, and blood pressure [4,44] . This means that the data that shape people's daily lives is collected continuously and regularly.…”

“…Everyone can be evaluated as a single case, and personalized disease prevention or treatment plans can be defined. Industry regulators hope to transform the electronic health record system, which is currently evolving towards big data, from a component that physicians use only when a disease occurs to a preventive AI system that is constantly active and proactive even before the disease occurs [4,17,18] . This strategy not only reduces costs but also the burden on the health system and, thus, government spending on health.…”

“…This study investigates physicians' attitudes toward using AI doctors who focus on individual-centric healthcare in their professional practices. This is crucial because industry regulators want to create a patient-centric, holistic AI healthcare system [4,12] . For these reasons, it offers important outputs for all healthcare sector stakeholders.…”

This study examines physicians’ attitudes toward the intention to use AI doctors in healthcare. Currently, physicians use smart health technologies, health data, and AI in disease-focused research hospitals, and industry regulators hope that AI technology will be extensively used for each person, which means a shift from disease-centric to individual-centric healthcare. Using the theory of technology acceptance and use, a research model was developed to understand physicians’ intentions to use AI doctors for data collection, diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient follow-up. The causal comparison screening technique was used to determine the causes and consequences of physicians’ attitudes, behaviors, ideas, and beliefs. The responses of 478 physicians were evaluated using structural equation modeling and deep learning (an artificial neural network). It was discovered that physicians intend to use AI doctors first for diagnosis and treatment planning, and then for data collection and patient follow-up. According to the findings, the main constructs are performance expectancy, perceived task technology fit, high-tech habits, and hedonic motivation.
