(8 years ago)Robots can do a lot of things people do, but... can they take their place in doctors? A London company for artificial intelligence says that robots can diagnose patients, just as a doctor does. However, some doctors say that human service level cannot be replaced. Using Alexa, [...]
Using Alexa, the Amazon company's deputy voice assistant, a computer program created by the firm Babylon Health can interpret symptoms and inform the person of the health problem, as it conducts a number of questions.
What we're trying to do with Babylon is to enable health services for all people wherever there is”, says Ali Parsa, founder of the “Babylon” programme.
During an event in London, the founder of the program, Dr. Ali Parsa, says the app is not intended to replace general doctors, but can facilitate their work.
“We have shortages in the U.S. primary service and there are difficulties in employing young general doctors. They work at various clinics and see that half the work is letter bureaucracy”, says Doctor Megan Mahoney, chief of primary service at Stanford University.
But despite his advantages, Camille Hawthorne says the programme will never replace the level of health care offered by people.
The program has to do with knowledge, but it has nothing to do with clinical skills, patient care, close recognition of the patient, his family, community and the area he lives in, or the type of profession he exercises. These aspects are of great importance to patients”, says Camille Hawthhorn, deputy dean of the Royal College of General Medicine.
But from offices in London of the company “Babylon Health”, Dr. Ageber Butt says technology increases accuracy.
We have since compared the results of our work with the general doctors during the most common situations, we found that the accuracy of artificial intelligence amounts to 96%. For more, while the app will continue to learn, the level of accuracy will continue to rise”, says Dr. Moshaber Butt, medical director at the “Babylon Health” company.
Since 2016, the firm “Babylon” co-operates with the Rwandan government to provide medical care via mobile phones for nearly 2 million patients registered from remote rural areas. Dr. In such circumstances artificial intelligence offers great opportunities, says Hawthhorn.
