“Medicine is just so much more than collecting information — it’s all about human relationships,”
maybe if you are rich. For most people medicine is going to a GP once or twice a year, spending an hour in a queue, then seeing a doctor for 10 minutes.

- hwbehrens 3y agoThat's exactly the line that stood out to me as well. I haven't seen the same doctor (or NP) at the same office in my memory; they don't remember my name and I don't remember theirs. They want me to talk as little as possible, and I want them to fix whatever problem I have (or look for problems I can't detect, like high cholesterol, etc). It's utterly transactional and would be greatly improved by an AI that I can work with on my own time to build a real medical history, not a 1-page sheet that I need to fill out four times a year. I assume the major challenges that will be difficult to solve will be similar to what they're already facing, namely dealing with patients who can't communicate their issues clearly (or correctly) or who are being deliberately misleading e.g. with drug-seeking behaviors.
