That same AI robot could give you guidelines on how to improve your blood sugar levels to your HMO app. That's basically what diabetic doctors would tell you. It really comes down to your lifestyle and eating habits. Let's say you have a bad cold or even pneumonia, you could tell your HMO app that you are coughing your head off and it can tell you to go get an X-ray, have those x-rays analyzed and the AI doctor would just give you anti-biotics and send you on your merry way home. I haven't gone to the doctor every time I have a cold because I know that if I went to the grocery store to get natural antibiotics from blueberries, raspberries, strawberries...basically mixed berries, they are much stronger antibodies than what the doctor's office would provide you. Works great. $2.00 copays compared to $20 copays for those simple things doesn't sound so bad. Just imagine how much more your doctor would be available as a result. This could be very good for rural healthcare where doctors aren't going to always be available. AI doctors would be good for routine things like that. When it comes to broken bones, torn muscles, etc; you would still see your doctor. When it comes to judging whether you need painkillers or not, you'd see your doctor. My asthma just took a turn for the worse and I'm having weekly doctor's appointments to monitor my oxygen levels to see if I still need to have an oxygen tank with me. That is a situation where a doctor (not an AI doctor) would be used especially if the need to apply for disability has to be considered. We are headed down this path anyway due to the shortage of health workers and the need to take care of those aging baby boomers. What people need to learn the basics of how eating certain fruits and vegetables would be good for overcoming simple respiratory illnesses such as the common cold. There are others that could help with blood pressure and other common ailments. I don't recall this kind of stuff being taught in high schools and I'm thinking big pharma has done an excellent job in keeping that information out of schools. Quote

mysfit Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 Yes but who decides if you need AI or real? That's the part that I'm freaked out about. Needing a real dr and getting AI. I'm also not sure AI has enough of the bugs worked out to do the job right now. Telehealth seems like a good working bridge for the time being. Quote
AlpineSummer Posted April 13 Posted April 13 AI will be an incredible tool for diagnostics which are largely search and analyze problems. It’s been in use for some time now in less developed stages. Now, A1 is a totally different matter. But, it’s good to see the Trump Admin.’s Ed Sec. is on top of it: Quote
InnZoneU Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Anything that removes me from waiting in the doc office for 1.5 hours after my scheduled appointment time with a bunch of sick people is a good solution. My PCP is a useless vessel who appears to only exist to write out referrals. Quote

Those telehealth sessions are probably training those AI doctors at the same time. My HMO is starting to include AI in certain cases and it's only a matter of time before this becomes the new norm for certain cases. Quote
