The US is not the only country with healthcare needs. There are plenty of developed nations with public health care systems which primarily suffer from scarcity rather than cost to patient, and AI could help with that.
- forgetfreeman 3y agoWhat part of healthcare provided rote by untrained individuals at the behest of a LLM sounds like a solution to anything?
- skohan 3y agoSo for example, a treatment plan might look like this: 1. Go to a GP and explain symptoms 2. GP orders some tests based on symptoms 3. GP refers you to a specialist based on test results 4. Specialist orders more tests 5. Specialist analyzes results and orders more tests, or prescribes treatment plan 6. Check in with specialist in weeks or months to evaluate results and update treatment It seems to me that for many common issues, 1-4 could plausibly be replaced by AI guided care with minor downsides. If you are normally spending a lot of time waiting between steps for a practitioner to become available, then it's going to be a net win for many people.
