Description

Technological evolution in healthcare has been continuous. To access the advantages and disadvantages of professional-machine interaction from the user's perspective in health professionals we developed an online questionnaire. A total of 107 responses were obtained from 12 health technologies areas, showing some differences between them. The majority are 5 to 10 years of experience (28.0%). Speed, safety and efficiency stands out as benefits and dehumanization of the care provided and the reduction of jobs as risks. The user's perspective contributes in an elementary way to the current and future industry in the health area, and therefore should not be neglected.
