Babylon Health founder Ali Parsa presenting the results of his AI-powered medical information software, which took a standard doctor's exam. The lights were dimmed in an auditorium packed with doctors on Wednesday night at London's Royal College of Physicians. They were there to find out how AI might fundamentally change the way they work. On stage Dr. Mobasher Butt, a director at digital healthcare startup Babylon Health, stood before a podium to read out the results of an exam taken by his company's carefully trained AI doctor. The average passmark for the MRCGP exam, which trainee general practitioners take to test their ability to diagnose, has been 72% over the past five years.
