I’m a co-founder at a YC startup (https://empirical.health https://empirical.health) that treats a number of long COVID patients, and I think the way forward really is to integrate AI into the doctor’s work.
GPT-4 is often scarily good at suggesting diagnostic and treatment plans for even very rare conditions. It will sometimes suggest things even well-trained doctors wouldn’t think of.
But it also makes some basic and expensive errors. For example, it often suggests long COVID patients with tachycardia get an echocardiogram (which is unnecessary and can cost hundreds of dollars).
So I think the model where AI drafts, but a doctor edits, would lead to much better patient care.
