59%
of UK adults (self-reported)
What the research found
A commercial survey reported that 59% of UK adults say they use AI for medical self-diagnosis, with especially high use among younger age groups. As a self-reported commercial survey it indicates scale rather than clinical accuracy.
Why it matters for providers
Self-diagnosis with general-purpose AI is already mainstream patient behaviour — the demand side of the risk.
