Google’s chief health officer says AI will remake public health.
Of course, patients still need to get to a facility to obtain an X-ray. And once diagnosed, they still need to see a provider for treatment. But having an automated screening process removes one crucial barrier.
As DeSalvo explained, a good approach to AI is to identify “capacity or capability gaps” and then determine how AI might fill them. Done correctly, the technology can “help create tooling that raises the floor for everybody.”What keeps her up at night is the possibility of “wasting” this opportunity. There has been some resistance about the adoption of AI in medicine, but whether people like it or not, the technology is already being widely deployed.
To do so, I believe, AI needs to be incorporated into medical, nursing and public health education. Future practitioners must be trained on this new tool that is quickly becoming standard practice. “AI won’t replace doctors, but doctors who use AI will replace doctors who don’t,” DeSalvo said. The history of other major medical breakthroughs supports this: Antibiotics dramatically changed health care last century. The same will be true of AI in this one.
