Survey Finds AI Tools Identify Health Issues Missed by Doctors

A Testing.com survey released on April 24, 2026, found that approximately 33% of adult Americans reported that an artificial intelligence tool identified a health condition that their doctor previously missed or dismissed.

The survey data also suggests a growing acceptance of AI in assisting with diagnosis, laboratory testing, and primary care decisions. Experts are studying this trend to better understand the evolving relationship between patients and technology in healthcare. The results provide an early glimpse into how Americans now approach healthcare including seeking diagnoses, interpreting lab results, and general wellness and treatment solutions.

The Bothell, Washington based Testing.com has not released the full methodology or sample size. More details are expected to be published over the coming weeks.
