Think back to Victor’s neighbor, whose appointments were depersonalized by doctors typing notes into electronic medical records, dividing their attention between their screens and patients. With AI-assisted appointments, doctors can spend their limited time forming genuine connections with patients and asking important follow-up questions.
Minimizing keyboard clicking and computer screen barriers creates more space for doctors and patients to build the trust and mutual understanding necessary to maximize the doctor-patient relationship. This shows the positive potential of AI making inroads in health care: It can enhance rather than replace human connection.
Beyond easing administrative tasks, AI’s integration into health care can benefit diagnostics and treatment planning – particularly through the integration of retrieval-augmented generation techniques (RAG), which enhance the accuracy and reliability of AI models.
