Over the past six decades, technological advancements and systemic pressures have gradually eroded this once-sacred bond. The introduction of computers in medicine, the internet, and the mobile health revolution have gradually distanced doctors from patients.
Today, the emergence of AI in the medical field marks the most profound shift in this evolution — the end of the traditional doctor-patient relationship. While some may feel nostalgic for the days when human touch defined healthcare, the rise of AI will replace that touch with expedient access to knowledge, enhanced decision-making, and, paradoxically, more personalized care than ever before. We must embrace this change.
The use of electronic health records, remote monitoring, and telehealth have improved record keeping and storing data. EHRs actually decreased physician efficiency and have contributed to the early retirement of some physicians, "depression" and burnout as well as career changes for young physicians.
Artificial intelligence and ChatGPT are at the gates of a new world for medicine. It has just begun and in the next decade, it will 'learn' and improve its answers.
Physicians will utilize AI to check for errors, prescribe medications, and transcribe information into the EHR. It will prepare pre-operative, and postoperative instructions and educational material.
