Beata Blazkova: Progress and Challenges of AI Adoption in Czech Healthcare
Beata Blazkova, ESHRE-Certified Senior Clinical Embryologist at Prague Fertility Centre, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“AI in Czech Healthcare: Real Progress, Real Barriers
The Czech Ministry of Health has published the results of its national survey on AI adoption in healthcare (published 02/2026). The findings confirm a clear shift: AI is no longer experimental — it is entering routine clinical practice.
Key insights:
- 67.6% of healthcare facilities in the Czech Republic actively use or test AI
- 82.9% adoption in radiology — by far the leading specialty
- 45.7% of respondents perceive a significant clinical benefit
- 27.8% prefer hands-on AI workshops over theoretical training
Where clinicians see value:
- Time savings
- Improved accuracy
- Decision support
Barriers remain:
- Funding
- Regulation
- Data protection
- Workforce training
One particularly interesting signal:
Healthcare professionals prefer practical AI workshops over long certification programs. This suggests that implementation, not theory, is the priority.
AI is not replacing clinicians.
It is reshaping workflows, redefining responsibility, and accelerating the need for regulatory clarity.
For those working at the intersection of clinical practice and AI development, one reality stands out:
Implementation maturity now matters more than experimentation.
