In his book, AI Superpowers, Kai-Fu Lee shares his personal story with cancer. He is definitely an empowered patient who reached out to technologies to receive the best possible care. Many physicians complain today about how hard it is to deal with patients who uses Google to learn about their diagnoses. This is why we released a free guide for them ( http://bit.ly/2CeLRsR ). I wonder what my peers will complain about when patients start using artificial intelligence-based tools that are available online. An excerpt from the book: "The fact that my lymphoma had affacted over twenty sites, had spread above and below my diaphragm, and had entered an organ outside the lymphatic system meant that I was automatically categorized as a stage IV patient. But what I didn't know at the time of diagnosis was that this crude method of staging has more to do with what medical students can memorize than what modern medicine can cure. In the depths of my own research, I found a research paper that did quantify the predictive power of these alternate metrics." #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning #TMFchessjourney …see more
