Based on a Q4 2025 survey and global research, the report finds 89 percent of healthcare professionals now prioritize clinically verified and contextually relevant intelligence over generic AI solutions
Healthcare professionals are no longer impressed by the presence of artificial intelligence alone. What now determines engagement, according to the latest Doceree 360 report, is whether AI driven inputs can be trusted at the point of care. Released on 22 December 2025, the 2025 edition of Doceree 360: Understanding HCP Engagement in the Age of AI presents a detailed view of how clinicians are reassessing the role of AI in their daily practice.
The report, published by Doceree, draws on findings from a Q4 2025 survey conducted on Doceree.ai, supported by global industry research. Its central finding is clear. Eighty nine percent of healthcare professionals say they want assured intelligence, defined as AI that is credible, clinically verified, and relevant to the specific patient context, rather than an increase in generic or automated AI solutions.
As AI becomes more deeply embedded in clinical environments, the report notes that healthcare is moving into what it describes as a cognitive era. In this phase, AI does not simply automate tasks but actively influences how clinicians process information, learn, and make decisions. With this expanded role, expectations have shifted. Trust, rather than novelty or scale, has become the primary benchmark for meaningful engagement.
According to the data, sixty six percent of physicians now use AI in their daily practice. However, adoption does not equate to unconditional confidence. The report shows that clinicians increasingly evaluate AI driven outputs based on whether they can withstand clinical scrutiny and whether they meaningfully support patient care. Speed and technical sophistication, once viewed as advantages, are no longer sufficient on their own.
Speaking on the findings, Harshit Jain, MD, Founder and Global CEO of Doceree, said that while AI has reshaped clinical thinking, it has also raised the bar for performance and accountability. He noted that healthcare professionals now expect intelligence they can rely on at critical moments of decision making, rather than automated insights that lack verification or relevance.
The report defines assured intelligence through three core attributes. First is clinical credibility, which requires AI outputs to be evidence backed and aligned with established medical guidelines. Second is contextual relevance, ensuring that insights are tailored to the patient scenario and clinical setting rather than broadly generalized. Third is real world patient impact, where AI driven recommendations demonstrably support outcomes that matter in practice.
Healthcare professionals surveyed expressed a growing intolerance for generic, promotional, or unverified outputs, regardless of how advanced the underlying technology may appear. The report notes that such content is increasingly ignored, particularly when it interrupts workflows or fails to align with clinical priorities.
These findings carry significant implications for pharmaceutical and healthcare brands. The Doceree 360 report observes that many existing engagement strategies remain rooted in siloed channels and static messaging. Campaign led approaches, it suggests, are struggling to remain effective in an environment where clinicians expect continuous, intelligence driven engagement embedded directly into their daily routines.
Commenting on this shift, Kamya Elawadhi, Chief Client Officer at Doceree, said the healthcare sector is entering what the report describes as an expectation economy. In this context, assured intelligence is no longer a differentiator but a baseline requirement for trust and relevance.
The report calls on pharma brands to realign their strategies around three priorities. These include building AI driven content grounded in clinical validation and compliance, delivering context first engagement integrated into clinical workflows, and enabling patient impact through access and affordability intelligence available at the point of care.
Rather than positioning AI as a standalone innovation, the report argues for its role as an enabler of better judgment. In the age of AI, it concludes, trust has become the new currency of engagement. Brands that consistently deliver assured intelligence are more likely to earn clinician confidence and long term relevance, while those that fail to adapt risk becoming background noise in an increasingly crowded digital landscape.
