How To Democratize Healthcare: AI Gives Everyone The Very Best Doctor

The greatest problem we have is access to care. According to the CDC, nearly 20% of adults in the United States have no regular source of healthcare. One of the places this is most stark is in lifespan -- where the wealthiest Americans have benefits from steady gains, about five years of additional longevity from 2000-2014 -- versus the poorest, for whom, during the same period, life expectancy hasn't changed at all. There are many factors that contribute to this growing divide in mortality, socioeconomic and medical -- but one of the biggest is simply not enough physicians in the right places. The best doctors and providers are drawn to similar circumstances: top hospitals, with the top tier of colleagues, in the most desirable places to live, with patients that can pay for services.
