The most encouraging article I read all year restored some of my faith in healthcare AI.
It seems like every second call I have these days is to discuss some new idea to use AI in healthcare.
As Kevin McDonnell will attest, failure in these endeavours is all too common.
My magic question for Healthcare AI is “tell me what’s wrong.” That’s it. That’s all I want. I don’t care about another AI Scribe.
I want AI to do one better than the countless doctors whose biases and lack of knowledge have already failed so many times.
David Fajgenbaum‘s company Every Cure is demonstrating the true potential and power AI can bring to healthcare.
Taking knowledge we already have and putting it to new uses, saving lives in the process.
Not “tell me what’s wrong” but “tell me how to fix it“.
The story reads like a Hollywood movie and it’s barely moved past the first chapter.
It’s a long read but it’s well worth it. It just might restore your faith in healthcare AI.
