Artificial Intelligence and the Humanization of Medicine – InsideSources

If you want to imagine the future of healthcare, you can do no better than to read cardiologist and bestselling author Eric Topol's trilogy on the subject: "The Creative Destruction of Medicine," "The Patient Will See You Now," and "Deep Medicine." "Deep Medicine" bears a paradoxical subtitle: "How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again." The book describes the growing interaction of human and machine brains. Topol envisions a symbiosis, with people and machines working together to assist patients in ways that neither can do alone. In the process, healthcare providers will shed some of the mind-numbing rote tasks they endure today, giving them more time to focus on patients.
