Summary
A survey commissioned by MedExpress Canada found that 48% of Canadian adults had searched online or used artificial intelligence to self-diagnose when seeking medical care. The online survey of 1,158 adults also found that 66% had decided against booking a doctor’s appointment because they expected it would be too difficult to get seen. Nearly 30% had gone to an emergency room when they could not get an appointment, and 28% had skipped care because of wait times.
