I think in an ideal world, doctors would leverage AI's diagnostic (and thus treatment) accuracy and then use coaching/motivational interviewing and lifestyle approaches to enhance the therapeutic relationship to help patients achieve wellness and wellbeing. (so easy, right??) That would take some humility and of course refining. This would be more easily achieved by referrals to other specialists/healthcare providers/coaches (wink wink). We definitely need to see studies like this repeated! Fascinating

Hells yes. I see the difficulty of embracing this with so many of my friends and colleagues. To me it’s no different than having a copilot to turn to for mechanics. I’m just in kindergarten with this. Would love to learn more.

So well put, Leigh.

This is absolutely fascinating and incredibly helpful, Todd. And very likely will be a part of what I ask/screen new docs for: do they use AI to help diagnostically, especially with “vague” symptoms or complex issues with no apparent answer...
