AI tool helps doctors make sense of chaotic patient data and identify diseases: 'More meaningful' interaction

Doctors believe Artificial Intelligence is now saving lives, after a major advancement in breast cancer screenings. A.I. is detecting early signs of the disease, in some cases years before doctors would find the cancer on a traditional scan. For every patient visit, physicians spend an average of 16 minutes and 14 seconds using electronic health records to review data and make notes, according to a 2020 study in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Navina, a New York-based medical tech company, has created an artificial intelligence tool to help doctors reclaim some of that time -- and ensure that important data doesn't get missed. The platform, which is also called Navina, uses generative AI to transform how data informs the physician-patient interaction, explained Ronen Lavi, the company's Israel-based CEO.
