Abstract

Introduction: Healthcare requires lifelong learning and knowledge improvement. Innovations in technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), are changing the game and holding the promise of greater accuracy and efficiency. However, privacy and moral issues continue. The combination of AI with lifelong learning is vital because it promotes expertise and flexibility. Research examines healthcare workers' receptivity to AI-integrated lifetime learning and their expectations for successful education.

Aim and objectives: This study examines the perspectives of healthcare professionals about continuous learning using artificial intelligence and creates a web-based platform to improve educational opportunities.

Method: This qualitative cross-sectional network sampling research investigates 110 health professionals' views on lifelong learning. The study provides a personalised AI-enabled learning platform that emphasises user interaction, democratic decision-making and strategic implementation. The research examines respondents' motives, challenges, and demographic impacts on lifelong learning, providing insights into knowledge generation and preservation in dynamic domains like healthcare and technology. To improve learning, the systematic knowledge assessment platform centralises assessments and provides thorough analytics. The extensive online questionnaire was pilot-tested for validity.

Results: Among the 110 people who took part in the poll, a large majority are well aware of the resources available online, 63.63 percent are actively involved in continuing education programs, and 81.81 percent are interested in formalised training. Proving flexibility and a well-rounded strategy for skill development, self-reflection, and self-directed learning in the ever-changing healthcare environment, health experts demonstrate a dedication to continuous learning (90.90%).

Conclusion: This study concluded that, in this age of artificial intelligence, it is more crucial than ever for health professionals to engage in lifelong learning as part of their professional growth.
