I agree that happens, my point is about the intersection of speciality and expected.
Aka it doesn't always happen but that is the goal.
Honestly disease diagnosis is the one area I could see AI being super helpful in which might lower this burden from extreme memorization to facilitating collecting data for analysis and being a guard on false positives.
- rqtwteye 3y agoAgree about AI. It would be way more patient and take its time to talk to the patient than doctors have these days.
- haldujai 3y agoAI has had the opposite effect on false positives. Statistically, most patients aren't (that) sick and don't have zebras. Taking radiology as an example (because that's my specialty) ~90% of studies are normal and some types (e.g. CT for pulmonary embolism, CT for transient ischemic attack/vertigo) are closer to 98-99% normal. Every diagnostic AI application I've seen implemented as of 2023 that merely replicates the work of a human has done nothing but increase false positives. The extreme class imbalance makes this a non-trivial problem.
