Saudi Arabia research

 

AI is starting to make a measurable difference in healthcare across Saudi Arabia. For many healthcare professionals, the benefits include reducing administrative burden, improving workflow efficiency, expanding capacity and improving work-life balance. ​

Healthcare professionals are increasingly using AI in everyday practice to support decision-making and care delivery. Many patients say knowing how to use AI will become important for managing their health. Yet adoption is accelerating faster than the systems, training, and infrastructure designed to support it. 

 

The Future Health Index 2026 is the largest global survey of its kind examining how AI is being used in healthcare and the value it creates for healthcare professionals and patients.

Two quantitative surveys were conducted among over 2,000 healthcare professionals and over 20,000 patients in 10 countries (Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and the United States). The surveys were conducted from February 2026 to April 2026.
