AI (Artificial Intelligence) Patients want and need

[Annette McKinnon]

I picked out some quotes from the article below. To me it's a new way of looking at AI

By Grace Cordovano

Everyone is clamoring to benefit from AI's potential to reduce costs, enhance decision making, streamline operations, improve outcomes, and propel discovery and agility

Ironically, patients are being glaringly left out. Where are the AI tools for patients to use and benefit from?

Point of care is no longer where the doctor is; it's where patients are. The majority of care happens outside the traditional four walls of medicine. Health 3.0 must meet them where they are: online. Unfortunately, patients are facing technological debt and an exclusionary digital silo. We are actively creating a new social determinant of health.

We are missing a digital baseplate to serve as a foundation for Health 3.0's digital revolution, patient empowerment, and the consumerization of healthcare

Thanks so much Annette! I recently saw a reference to the ethics surrounding AI. It's coming none too soon.
