Artificial intelligence is helping medical specialists cut down on paperwork, thus freeing up hours for them to care for patients.
AI can record patient visits on smartphones and summarize them for treatment plans and billing, allowing doctors to cut paperwork time to about 20minutes a day.
ChatGPT-style artificial intelligence is becoming big in health care. Every doctor, enthusiasts predict, will soon have a super-intelligent sidekick, dispensing suggestions to improve care.
But all this will take time. For now, the new A.I. in health care is going to be less a genius partner than a tireless scribe.
Physicians and medical researchers say regulatory uncertainty, and concerns about patient safety and litigation, will slow the acceptance of generative A.I. in health care, especially its use in diagnosis and treatment plans.
