Artificial Intelligence in the Healthcare Industry (IP2)

I created a survey for IP2 on artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry, below is the link to access the survey. I was surprised how easy it was to create the survey and the different options you had to format the questions. I tried to incorporate several types of questions such as multiple choice, select all that apply, short answer, etc. This was a fun experiment in which it was a lot easier to create than I had expected. I have never needed to conduct a survey (thus far in life, lol) but see how it can be very beneficial for a variety of people in different industries. I was not 100% sure if my questions were appropriate for the project or how to "graph" the results based on the questions. How do you graph a short answer? But would be able to analyze the results and either create a new survey with more precise questions related to the answers and so forth. I posted some questions on the class lounge and got some great feedback from Dr. Chung and Timothy James. Some improvements I would make for future reference is the title. I kind of went lightly on it. I have a couple classes in which I have to create blogs on a weekly basis and it was "easier" for me to title it IP2 to keep my blogs straight. Also, I would have to incorporate some type of background summary of the topic of the survey. How am I suppose to know how much the surveyor knows about artificial intelligence? If they don't know anything then their answers would skew the data I'm analyzing. I got some great feedback from Dr. Chung and Timothy James about how to go about resolving this issue with the "help text" feature. I used it once in my survey on question number 4 where I wrote "Select All that Apply". I did not realize that we could write an extended amount of info here. Also, I should put a question earlier in the survey asking about the surveyors knowledge of artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry. Something like "How knowledgeable or familiar are you of the usage of artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry?" I thought I kind f did this in question #4, but I should have made it more concise.

So how I performed this survey was by first creating it and copying and pasting the link on facebook asking people to take my survey so I can get data for my class assignment. Keep in mind, I have not posted ANYTHING on facebook for a number of years now and had to assure people that I was still alive and talk to them to show my appreciation for taking the survey. I don't do facebook because I think it is a waste of time. Sorry if I offended anyone in saying that, nothing against you, its a personal choice lol! Anyways, it was a good way to get many people to take the survey without have to email a bunch of people and in getting a wide array of people from different backgrounds to answer the survey. As stated above, to give better background on the survey's topic, I now know I could have used the "help text" feature but I could have also done a quick summary of it on here in a blog and attached the survey link here as I have done for the submission of this assignment. Then I could have just posted my blog address on facebook and asked people to go to it, read the background info, then select the survey link. So there were a couple different ways I now know I could have gone about to better write and create the survey AND get the needed info out to the surveyors. Also, I think my results can be somewhat skewed because majority of them were female in the healthcare industry. Future surveys will have to be more diverse and conducted with clearly more than 12 participants. But for the sake of the assignment and having fun :) here's what I got!

Results:
Out of the 12 (fully completed) responses, 10 of them were women in the healthcare industry between the ages of 26-35. The other 2 were males, one between the ages of 19-25 and the other 46-55. The younger male was in the sciences and older male in the another field not indicated. 8 of the 10 females thought AI systems had more benefits than faults in the healthcare industry, but could see its disadvantages, while all believing that everyone in the healthcare industry would be affected. The other 2 females thought it would be more detrimental than beneficial and also believed everyone would be affected. The younger of the two males had no idea how AI was affecting the healthcare industry and thought robots were taking over the world (I think this was my little brother, lol). The older of the two males thought AI systems had more benefits than faults, but could see its disadvantages. 2 participants were indifferent about a how comfortable they were with a AI system diagnosing them while the other 9 were not comfortable with it at all. Everyone's short answers varied on the benefits and disadvantages of AI systems in the healthcare industry. This area is more subjective and I would have to create another survey somewhat specified towards the general ideas of these results to get more accurate results.

Here's some graphs, like I said, it would have been difficult to graph the short answer responses without having more specific questions so thats why i summarized them in my blogs. I know you emailed me saying I did not have to do them if I didn't have the time, but for the sake of the assignment here's a couple. The other questions and results I would have had to take more time on excel but thought I'd still turn something in :) thanks!
