Nice article. Another challenge is the domain: if published medical research had more answers to resolving vs. treating symptoms of chronic diseases, we'd all be a lot healthier than we are. There is a chasm, gap, lacuna, or wall between medical and dental care, insurance, records, and research that creates blind spots. The best AI would read the domain of the body, which operates as a unified whole, and indicate gaps in published medical studies and research areas.
Excellent recognition and discussion of an important problem.
I wonder what Alex thinks would be the best approach to identify and correct her own bias that all medical students who study epidemiology choose female pronouns. (“the same evidence hierarchy that every medical student learns in her first epidemiology course”)
Case in point: I asked the same question of 2 different med AI programs and one cited evidence from 2017 or earlier; the other was updated appropriately. Check the sources.
There are some really smart people who use these tools for health and wellness on a regular basis. I feel like this is an interesting opportunity to ask them what they're doing and noticing.
Does it do something special with systematic reviews of the evidence?
