76% of Indian Healthcare Professionals Are Optimistic That AI Can Improve Patient Outcomes: Philips Future Health Index 2025
Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology and innovation, announced the India findings of its 10th annual Future Health Index (FHI) 2025 report. The findings point to a growing majority of healthcare professionals viewing artificial intelligence (AI) as a vital tool in the delivery of better patient care even as India faces rising healthcare demand and persistent workforce shortages. Business Wire India Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology and innovation, announced the India findings of its 10th annual Future Health Index (FHI) 2025 report. The findings point to a growing majority of healthcare professionals viewing artificial intelligence (AI) as a vital tool in the delivery of better patient care even as India faces rising healthcare demand and persistent workforce shortages. According to the India findings of the Philips Future Health Index (FHI) 2025, 76% of Indian healthcare professionals (HCPs) are optimistic that AI can help improve patient outcomes – a clear sign of the increasing trust in digital transformation as a driver of quality healthcare. This year, the Future Health Index, one of the world's largest recurring healthcare research initiatives, captures insights from over 1,900 healthcare professionals and 16,000 patients across 16 countries. The India report draws insights from healthcare professionals across public and private sectors. The data highlights how AI is increasingly being perceived not merely as a tool for efficiency, but also to expand access, improve clinical quality, and reduce professional fatigue. Commenting on the India findings, Bharath Sesha, Managing Director, Philips Indian Subcontinent, said, ' India stands at a pivotal moment in healthcare transformation. What we're seeing today is a growing trust in AI not just as a tool for efficiency but as a catalyst for better clinical outcomes, broader access, and more empowered healthcare professionals. The findings from this year's Future Health Index India report reaffirm what we've long believed – that technology, when applied with purpose, can bridge the gap between capability and capacity. It is encouraging to see patients' readiness to embrace this transformation, and belief from over 80% Indian Healthcare professionals that AI could save lives by enabling early interventions. This trust is essential to scale up the use of AI and other relevant technology interventions to provide better care for more people." Key findings from FHI 2025 India report: Empowering the Healthcare Workforce With 75% of respondents saying AI-supported training is helpful for less experienced staff, especially in underserved areas, the opportunity to build a future-ready workforce is clear. Indian healthcare professionals view AI as a catalyst for clinical learning, skill-building, and co-developing solutions tailored to real-world healthcare challenges. 78% believe AI can ensure greater consistency in patient examinations, which could help address the issue of standardising care. 87% believe AI can improve access to clinical research 72% say AI can enable accurate and timely interventions While over half (56%) of HCPS in India are already contributing to AI development within their organizations, only four in ten feel these tools align with their day-to-day clinical needs, underscoring the need for more inclusive, hands-on collaboration in shaping technology that delivers meaningful impact. Optimising Care Every Step of the Way From triage to time-saving automation,76% of Indian healthcare professionals believe AI can direct patients to the appropriate care setting, enhancing access while enhancing limited healthcare resources. 78% believe AI can help reduce patients' wait times 60% say it can increase face-to-face time with patients 80% see AI as a way to automate repetitive tasks, which will help reduce administrative burden 65% believe AI can shorten procedure times Caution meets optimism: Addressing key limitations While the outlook is optimistic, several critical gaps must be bridged to realise the full potential of AI in Indian healthcare: 45% of HCPs want clear guidelines on AI usage and its limitations. 44% seek greater clarity on legal liability when using AI in patient care. 31% are looking for reassurance about data security. In addition, 67% express concern that data bias in AI tools could widen healthcare disparities. As the nation advances on its digital health journey, with the right partnerships and policies in place, India is well-positioned to lead the way in demonstrating how technology and trust can together shape a healthier, more equitable future.

Major bank 'sneaks' in rate cut for savers despite RBA hold: 'Frustrating'
ANZ has cut the interest rate on its popular savings account despite the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) opting to hold the cash rate steady last week. The Big Four joins other banks like NAB and Bendigo Bank in quietly cutting savings rates over the last month. ANZ today cut the maximum rate of its Progress Saver by 0.10 per cent to 3.40 per cent. The bank previously passed on RBA's May interest rate cut in full to savings customers, lowering rates on its key accounts one week after the cut. NAB cut the rate of its Reward Saver account by 0.05 per cent on June 20, bringing the total rate to 4.35 per cent. Bendigo Bank cut the rate on its EasySaver account by 0.10 per cent on July 1 to 3.05 per cent. RELATED Major banks reveal updated RBA interest rate cut predictions after 'surprise' hold Coles and Costco grocery price comparison 'shocks' Aussie mum Top 10 superannuation funds revealed as Aussies receive 'double-digit' returns Canstar data insights director Sally Tindall said ANZ was the latest bank to 'sneak in' a savings interest rate cut, following two earlier cash rate cuts this year. 'While the spotlight has been firmly on mortgage holders, savers — which are the majority of Australians — have quietly been taking hits of their own,' she said. 'Two of the big four banks have sliced select savings rates in the past month, despite no move to the cash rate. 'While cuts of 0.05 and 0.10 percentage points may seem trivial on paper, for customers doing all the right things to meet monthly conditions, it's yet another frustrating backwards step.'Just four banks offer at least one savings rate of 5 per cent or more: BOQ, Westpac, MOVE and ING. But if the RBA cuts the cash rate as anticipated next month, Tindall said the highest ongoing rates would 'almost certainly sink into the '4's''. It comes after NAB cut its term deposit rates earlier this week, with cuts of between 0.5 and 0.20 per cent across multiple terms. ANZ also trimmed its 8-month Advance Notice term deposit by 0.10 per cent last week. Jump in unemployment rate sets scene for August RBA cut The unemployment rate rose 4.3 per cent in June, this week's ABS data revealed, up from 4.1 per cent in May. Employment increased by 2,000 people during the month, but the number of officially unemployed people jumped by 33,600. Commonwealth Bank economist Belinda Allen said the data helped support the case for an August rate cut. 'One hurdle has now been removed for an August rate cut and suggests even with a much higher than expected trimmed CPI print the RBA should deliver a 25 basis point cut,' she said. Westpac economist Ryan Well said the data strengthened the 'already-strong case to deliver the next rate cut in August'. AMP chief economist Shane Oliver said the data leaves the RBA "on track to cut rates in August". "With unemployment breaking to its highest since the pandemic, and June jobs data showing broad-based weakness, it's now hard to describe the labour market as tight. It also supports the view that the RBA should have cut this month," he said. Betashares chief economist David Bassanese, who correctly predicted a hold in July, said the unemployment data was a 'slam dunk' for an August rate cut. When do the major banks expect RBA interest rate cuts? The major banks all expect the RBA will cut interest rates at the August meeting. They are then split on how many more interest rate cuts will follow. Here are their current forecasts: CBA: Two more cuts in August and November to bring cash rate to 3.35 per cent Westpac: Four more cuts in August, November, February and May to bring cash rate to 2.85 per cent NAB: Three more cuts in August, November and February to bring cash rate to 3.10 per cent ANZ: Two more cuts in August and November to bring cash rate to 3.35 per centError in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data
