10 Predictions about the Future of Healthcare AI - The Medical Futurist

From unlocking hidden biomarkers to streamlining administrative burdens, AI will improve patient care and redefine the role of physicians.
I have 10 predictions for healthcare AI, coming from four distinct facets of the healthcare spectrum.

You said AI won't replace practitioners, I hope you're wrong. The current system where patients have to wait two months to only have 15 minutes to talk to their doctors and the unreliability in the quality and judgement of those doctors is awful. I would much rather an AI doctor that I can talk to at any time, with unlimited time to talk, that is non judgmental, and has deep expertise in many different fields.

I guess it would be great when we would have access to both!

I’m sure the doctors that dedicate decades of their lives to medical education would rather replace ungrateful patients with AI patients as well

[@descai10]

@@bryank1880 If you are insinuating that I am ungrateful, I am not. Good doctors are literal heroes. I don't want doctors to stop making a living, just like I don't want anyone else to. Ideally nobody will have to work in the future.

It depends on the government and the elites of physicians. They decide where and how the healthcare resources allocated to. The physicians won’t let go their money out of their pockets to AI physicians. AI can only help their job easier and less time on each patient.

I am thinking about becoming a Sonographer. What do you see for the future of sonography as far as employment goes? More or less need for sonographers? Thanks for your channel. I subscribed to it.

[@Medicalfuturist]

Thank you for subscribing! There are examples for AI-connected ultrasound devices and in no way these developments indicate that there would be a lower need for sonographers.

[@AVADAMS1967]

Great video. I have a different perspective on "A.I. will replace ". I believe professions will continue to exist, but the real disruptor will be the increase in individual capacity. By using A.I., clinicians will be able to handle more patients. As a result there will be a need for fewer clinicians, however, if populations continue to grow, this may net out to no effect. There is no guarantee that populations will grow in the short term, as the Baby boomer population eventually leaves the planet, and China is facing its own population crisis due to its policies.

The question is will AI kill as many people as doctors do from misdiagnosis or intentional malpractice?

[@DynamicUnreal]

I honestly doubt it. By the time A.I. will be allowed to make diagnosis, it will already be better than 99.99% of all human doctors. ChatGPT 4 helped me identify the most likely culprit of a _yet to be doctor diagnosed_ illness that I’ve been suffering from. If it wasn’t for A.I. my disease would have probably progressed twice as much as it has. I’ve lost most faith in the human medical system.
