Asking Siri or ChatGPT for medical advice right now is a terrible idea. But major breakthroughs in AI and language processing are poised to revolutionize many industries, including medicine.
While our first fear is that AI will replace human jobs, Dr. Eric Topol is far more optimistic. The world-renown cardiologist and author has been studying how AI can free doctors from the administrative burdens of the medical business, spend more meaningful time discussing care with patients, and allow patients to self-diagnose far more accurately and efficiently.
But as with all emerging tech, the optimism must be balanced with risk. This week, Jonathan speaks with Dr. Topol about how your next visit to the clinic could be very different.

VIRTUAL HOSPITAL WARD. My husband is currently undergoing treatment via a virtual hospital ward. We are in East Anglia. There are currently a limited number of conditions that are eligible for treatment under the scheme but I am sure it will grow. He has been issued with a small modem, a wearable device, that monitors pulse, skin temp, blood oxygen levels and many other vital signs 24 x 7, a blood pressure monitor and temperature device, a tablet enables chat, call and instructions for his daily readings and tasks. He receives a video ward round call daily. A nurse visits every day to administer anti biotic via a drip. The alternative was on 4 week hospital stay as an inpatient. Although he is not allowed out, its much much better to be in your own home for treatment, and also free up beds for people who really need them. its a great system that really seems to work.

Sounds like a wonderful system. Wish him the best. This system will increase quality of care as well as reduce cost dramatically. Not to mention the peace of mind and feeling loved by relatives at your own home can be priceless. Of course, I understand that some patience/ conditions needs to be hospitalized.

Added note - the upfront sincere solution is the ownership and control of the data is always in the hands of the patient, not the doctor, hospital or anyone else. As it is now we are held hostage to not only get that information but we also have no ability to fix the numerous data errors, or erroneous conclusions made in the current system which allows just about anyone in the medical system to put on a patients record. The records are too accessible to too many people and the ability to completely retract that information when an entity is deemed incapable, untrustworthy or simply a bad fit is impossible. It leaves individuals vulnerable. The damage to trust today is deep and wide.

Thinking that AI will give doctors more time is like thinking automation will let people work less for higher wages. If there is a profit motive like in the US it will squeeze every last bit it can from everyone, people and robots alike

Exactly. That was my biggest issue with this episode. He states that the biggest problem is that we've made medicine a business - how does this new technology change any of that? It doesn't. It will continue to be a money making machine.

I feel like the compartmentalism of medicine is a big part of the problem. We aren’t looking at the whole person with the realization that these various symptoms are interrelated.

It will only be as good as it’s weakest link, and that weakest link, in any new technology, is what creators willfully leave out. That weakest link is the protection to the person who is using the system. We saw this, and are still seeing this, with Facebook and all social media, the exploitation of the individual’s personal data for the financial or political gain of others. What is being done at the forefront to build in security first, not as an insincere afterthought?

I'm just 10 minutes in, and Eric is awesome. He just hits the nail on the head with every sentence. I never head of him or this channel before by the way. Looking forward to the rest of the interview :)

When I was a NHS GP I used to apologise to patients, explaining "There are 3 of us in this consultation; you, me and the computer. It needs fed with data or my staff don't get paid"

I have a doctor for registration purposes, but my GP surgery always uses locums. I have never seen the same doctor more than once. Ninety percent of my consultations are online and by telephone (usually with a Practice Pharmacist).

AI seems like AI could be a lot more comprehensive than the 10 minutes doctors have with patients now.

I would suggest keeping an eye on the research going into providing medical support to long distance space travel. Robotics and AI providing first responder, then contacting earth if absolutely required as the communication time would be prohibitive for quick medical emergencies. It is really fascinating and much like many things that are developed for space activities, it will eventually be adapted to life on earth. Stuff being developed now is already looking at being adapted to geographically remote locations.

There is quite a large element of smoke and mirrors with AI It is the same with DIGITAL the buzz word used to baffle and justify why everything is trustworthy and wonderful. Try writing software that . . . guides . . . helps . . . and . . . reassures the the user . . . to a user-acceptable level. Generally AI does not explain why it has made a particular decision.

Hopefully with more biologists such as Gary Brecka sharing how our bodies work and how we can prevent illnesses rather than clinicians treating symptoms, we won't need to see doctors as often.
