A survey of 500 participants by NEXER and New Heart Watanabe International Hospital revealed significant skepticism toward advanced medical technology. 67.4% of respondents expressed resistance to the idea of AI performing 100% of a surgery. Furthermore, 66.6% prefer manual suturing by doctors over robotic systems. While 66% trust hospitals with modern equipment, concerns about connection lag in remote procedures and the potential for AI malfunction remain primary barriers to adoption.
