Dr Bot Why Doctors Can Fail Us and How AI Could Save Lives

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

A provocative account that looks at why human doctors are failing their patients-and how AI is better placed to save lives

Hundreds of thousands of people die every year, not from a plane crash or a shooting incident, but from misdiagnosis at the hands of those we most trust with our health: doctors. Today doctors are facing unprecedented levels of stress, with rising patient numbers and a constant evolution of medical knowledge. But at the same time, they are prone to racial, class, and social biases that affect the care patients receive. How can we improve patient experience and alleviate the burdens of doctors at the same time?

In this groundbreaking study, Charlotte Blease reveals how AI could emerge as the most reliable physician in history. Drawing on firsthand interviews with leading authorities in AI, doctors, and patients themselves, Blease shows how technology is already changing things for the better. From diagnosis and second opinions to treatment and aftercare, AI has the potential to revolutionise healthcare-if we give it a chance.
