The big idea
AI can look at thousands of X-rays fast. But only a doctor can hold your hand, ask why you are scared, and choose the best plan for YOU.
Some examples
- AI may flag a tiny spot on a scan a tired doctor missed
- AI writes notes so doctors can look at the patient instead of a screen
- AI cannot tell if you are nervous or in pain just by listening
- Doctors decide; AI just suggests
Try it!
Imagine you are a doctor. List 3 things about a patient AI could not see — only you could.
