Based on what I've seen from job postings in the US, you can't start a company in healthcare right now unless you've got AI featuring prominently.

Sadly, I'm not even talking cool stuff like imaging (though it's there too), but anything to do with clinical notes to insurance is all AI-ified.

Truly, it is the new crypto-web3 hype train, except there'll be a few useful things to come out of it too.

Yes now at doctors offices you have the option to sign an agreement for the doctor to wear a microphone to record the conversation and then AI tool automatically creates a report for the doctor. AI and all aspects of medicine seem to be merging.
This kind of thing scares me knowing how bad AI meeting and document summaries are, at least what I’ve used. Missing key details, misinterpreting information, hallucinating things that weren’t said…boy I can’t wait for my doctor to use an AI summary of my visit to incorrectly diagnose me!
