Artificial intelligence in rheumatology: status quo and quo vadis-results of a national survey among German rheumatologists.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The development and potential of artificial intelligence (AI) is remarkable. Its application in all medical disciplines, including rheumatology, is attracting attention. To what extent AI is already used in clinical routine in rheumatology is unknown. In addition, the perceived barriers, potentials, and expectations regarding AI by rheumatologists have not yet been studied.
