Three AI Medicine Silos
- AI transforms medicine in patient-facing, physician-facing, and generative discovery silos.
- Patient-facing AI improves workflows but has limited impact on cures.
AI Strengthens Image Diagnostics
- AI excels in image-based diagnostics like radiology, dermatology, and pathology by leveraging vast prior data.
- The optimal approach will be a refined mix of physician expertise and machine learning.
Untapped Value In EMR Data
- Aggregated EMRs create a huge untapped corpus that AI can mine, even from free text.
- Chatbots can read unfielded data faster than traditional structured queries.
