Can we improve patient experience and alleviate the burdens of doctors at the same time? In this ground-breaking study, Charlotte Blease reveals how AI, if handled with care, could emerge as the most reliable physician in history.
Drawing on interviews with authorities in AI, doctors and patients, Blease shows how technology – despite some resistance – is already making a difference. From diagnosis and second opinions to treatment and aftercare, AI has the potential to revolutionise our healthcare.
