GPS turns into artificial intelligence to help the patient’s work

This is the fifth feature in a series of six parts looking at how to change artificial intelligence for research and medical treatments.

The difficulty of getting an appointment with GP is familiar to the UK.

Even when securing an appointment, The burden of the rising work faced by doctors It means that these meetings can be shorter than a doctor or the patient.

But Dr. Debali Maysra Sharp, a GP partner in Birmingham, found that artificial intelligence mitigated part of the management of her job, which means that she can focus more on patients.

Dr. Mersa Sharp began using Heidi Health, a free medical copy tool with the help of AI who listens and copies patients’ dates, about four months ago and says she made a big difference.

“Usually when I am with a patient, I write things down and extract from consulting,” she says. “This means now that I can spend my entire time to lock the eyes with the patient and listen to an activity. It makes consulting more quality.”

She says technology reduces its workflow, providing her with “two to three minutes for each consulting, if not more.” It prevents other benefits: “It reduces the risk of errors and neglects my medical observation.”

As the workforce decreases while the number of patients continues to grow, GPS faces tremendous pressure.

GP is full -time responsible for 2,273 patients, an increase of 17 % since September 2015, According to the British Medical Association (BMA).

Could artificial intelligence be the solution to help GP reduce administrative tasks and relieve fatigue?

Some research indicates that it is possible. Report 2019 England health education has estimated the minimum savings for one minute for each patient of new techniques such as artificial intelligence, equivalent to 5.7 million hours from the time of the general doctor.

During, Research from Oxford University In 2020, I found that 44 % of all administrative work in public practice can now be either automatic or completely automatic, which is released for time to eliminate patients.

One of the companies working on this is Corti’s Denmark, which has developed artificial intelligence can listen to health care consultations, either by phone or personally, and suggests follow -up questions, demands, treatment options, as well as automatic blogging.

Corte says that technology is treated by about 150,000 interactions for the patient per day through hospitals, GP surgeries and health care institutions across Europe and the United States, with a total of about 100 million meetings annually.

“The idea is that the doctor can spend more time with the patient.” He says technology can suggest questions based on previous conversations that I heard in other health care situations.

“Artificial intelligence has access to relevant conversations, and after that he may be believed, in 10,000 similar conversations, most of the questions asked X and this was not asked.”

“I imagine that the general doctors have one -day consultation, and therefore I only have a little time to consult with colleagues. It gives this colleague’s advice.”

He also says he can look at the patient’s historical data. “You can ask, for example, did you remember to ask if the patient is still suffering from pain in the right knee?”

But does patients want to listen to technology and record their conversations?

“The data does not leave the system,” says MAALNNNNM He says it is a good practice to inform the patient.

“If the patient is extremist, the doctor cannot record it. We see few examples of this as the patient can see better documents.”

Dr. Maysara Sharp says that she allows patients to know that she has a listening device to help her take notes. “I haven’t had a problem with that yet, but if they did it, I will not do it.”

Meanwhile, the practices of 1400 years throughout England use brands, a platform that uses artificial intelligence to analyze medical records of patients and verify signs, symptoms and different risk factors of cancer, and recommend what the action should be taken.

“The symptoms, such as coughing, cold, bloating, and in the minute can be captured in one minute, whether there is any relevant information from its medical history,” says C. CEO and co -founder of Dr. Bakshi, also GP.

Artificial intelligence has been trained in the published medical research papers.

“For example, he may say that the patient is at risk of developing pancreatic cancer and will benefit from the pancreas examination, after which the doctor will decide to refer to these paths,” says Dr. Bakshi. “It will not be diagnosed, but it can be easy.”

She says she has conducted more than 400,000 cancer risk assessments in a real environment, as they discovered more than 30,000 patients with cancer across more than 50 different types of cancer.

The BMA report published this year found that “artificial intelligence must be expected to transform health care functions, rather than replace them, by automating routine tasks and improving efficiency.”

“We realize that artificial intelligence has the ability to transform NHS completely-but if it is not safely safely, this may also cause great harm. Amnesty International is subject to bias and error, it can be exposed to the sick danger, and still is a great harm.

“While artificial intelligence can be used to enhance and complete what GP can offer as another tool in their arsenal, it is not a silver bullet. We cannot wait for the promise of artificial intelligence tomorrow, to provide the productivity that affects its need, consistency, and improvements necessary for safety today.”

Alison Dennis, a partner and participant in the Taylor Wesy -Wesy -Life Association, warns that GPS needs to walk carefully when using artificial intelligence.

“There is a very high risk of artificial intelligence tools that do not provide complete or correct paths or paths, and even give wrong diagnoses or treatment tracks, i.e. hallucinogenic production or put out the outputs of the incorrectly incorrect training data,” says Dennis.

“Artificial Intelligence Tools that have been trained in reliable data sets and then are fully validated for clinical use – which will definitely be a specific clinical use, more convenient in clinical practice.”

She says that specialized medical products must be organized and receive a form of formal accreditation.

“NHS will also want to make sure that all the data entered into the tool is safely kept within the NHS infrastructure, and it is not absorbed for further use by the tool supplier as a training without gross domestic product [General Data Protection Regulation] Guarantees in the place.

Currently, for GPS (GPS) such as Misra-SARP, they have been around their work. “It made me come back to enjoy my consultations again instead of feeling pressure.”
