Is this the future of health?

Artificial intelligence is already shaping the world, from driverless cars to dating. But according to Dr Eric Topol, a pioneer in digital medicine, perhaps its greatest impact will be on people's health.

This video gives me hope:
One of my aunties is currently living in ICU for days now, every day the expense generated is draining her family. If no further positive turn-out in the next few days, her family will have to seek for a loan to cover it.
I feel sad and helpless for I myself is in an extremely poor financial state struggling to pay my mortgage and other bills. All I can do is to pray that her conditions get better as soon as possible and offer all the comforting I can muster to her family.
Godspeed.

1. Use AI for doctors' clinical paperwork
2. Use machines to reduce errors
3. Harvest data to improve outcomes
4. Treat patients at home, not in hospital

Thank you "The Economist" for making such videos and bringing all of us one step closer to what is soon going to be the present.

great program! Always great to hear Dr. Eric Topol.

In the future people will scare even thinking about human surgeon.

My english teacher loves your channel !

[jessbragg]

4:21 thats all good, but what if the person lives alone? who will reconnect the wires if they fall? who will change the bed pan? and who will change out the IV drips? unless your taking about hospice, which already exists, i would like Doctors to make house calls again though, THAT would be cool

I have several videos on the topic of the electric body on my channel. The physiology of the body begins to heal itself if you close the body system to itself. It is possible to do this in our conditions only by creating a high-voltage voltage of high density around the body.

Great informative video. But challenges for AI in medical diagnosis can be-
1. Data privacy of a patient. (CRIME, etc.)
2. Less human & more machines (feeling, emotions, ethics)
3. High level connectivity (Internet, etc)
4. Affordability (low and average Economy nations).

Anything else u can suggest .

You need to bring that to Africa immediately!!

The video seen tells us about the importance of health and the future of medicine and hospital machines. The doctor told us that with the advancement of the operation of hospital machines we could have a better service for patients and the doctors and nurses present a better service without risking their health and providing improvements in their attention to clients, we can observe that the advancement of technology is great and can come to serve us to do things without the help of another person but with help of a robot or several, we also see the importance of emotional intelligence for the future of health

The golden words, , , bring back (The Humanity)...

Of course, technology is optimal and reliable, as long as it is used in a responsible, progressive and ethical manner with the purpose of improving aspects of human daily life, without affecting or transgressing its nature

[alexiscahum]

Technological progress for 80 years has made improvements to be more efficient in the use of AI by doctors, helping to make faster and more accurate diagnoses helping to serve patients faster, and data capture by voice through a virtual assistant, thus saving time when registering patient data, and seeking to undo patient rooms to monitor them from home, serving a greater number of patients, seeking closer and continuous care, the following step in medicine will be focus

The most substantial of these improvements are decades away, when they do show up they will be used to fire as much staff as possible and ensuring the maximum work is done by the minimum people, too the detriment of providers and patients. Administrators will benefit, as they always have, by playing as fast and loose as they can. I assume Dr Topol hints at this with his final comments, as he himself as been the victim of self serving administrators, but I would have preferred a more forward statement, assuming those are his views at all. These advances themselves wont allow for more than kicking the can down the road, it is up to the providers/public to demand they be used in a system that ensures their full potential, which is potentially massive.

Opinion
From this video we were able to see the advancement of technology in the medical environment that has revolutionized the way of caring for human health and in this way has benefited the diagnosis and combat of diseases that have arisen over time.
Artificial intelligence is playing a very important leading role in the 21st century
The wars in the world have brought technological advances that revolutionized companies. The health sector was no exception.
Artificial intelligence reduces the error in diagnosing patients and in less time.

I think I saw the use of AI diagnosing patients already in place somewhere.

[vaibhavgupta]

Doctor carol from health care triage seems to think that this is just hot air and will amount to very little.

[karlaguadalupesalguerosolo]

Artificial intelligence is a revolutionary invention proposed more than 80 years ago, but until now we have seen more advances of this type of technology.
It is very important within several sectors, it is special in the area of ​​medicine, because this type of machine helps to better detect diseases and is faster and more precise when detecting a disease or anomaly than in the eyes of doctors. It would take them more time, this type of technology reduces the time of a diagnosis up to 150 hours less.

I think, flipping this on its head....the additional applications of traditional remedies and cultures in the healthcare space will not only lessen cost and provide options it could open up the industry to regular day to day consumption patterns potentially employing more people
