Survey: nearly half of Hungarian internet users have already asked AI a health question
According to the NN Biztosító Health 2026 survey, 46 percent of Hungarian adult internet users have already turned to an AI application with a health question. Seven in ten AI users aged 18–69 asked a health question, and 62 percent of users use it for symptom checking and self-diagnosis, though they trust it less for diagnosis.
