Treatment plans are far more complex than diagnosis. Much of it is convincing the patient to make the right choice. An AI that can sympathize and educate is a long time coming.

- tcbawo 10y agoFrom what I've heard, patients are often more aware of their own bodies than people give them credit for. Ie. If someone thinks they're dying, you should believe them. Having another human there to reassure a scared patient that a treatment plan gives them their best chance is invaluable.
