The Microsoft AI team shares research that demonstrates how AI can sequentially investigate and solve medicine’s most complex diagnostic challenges—cases that expert physicians struggle to answer.
Benchmarked against real-world case records published each week in the New England Journal of Medicine, we show that the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) correctly diagnoses up to 85% of NEJM case proceedings, a rate more than four times higher than a group of experienced physicians. MAI-DxO also gets to the correct diagnosis more cost-effectively than physicians.
The doctor who review the case, maybe ?
In some cases the AI can effectively “see” things a doctor can miss and direct him to check for a particular disease. Even if the AI is only able to rule out some cases it would be usefull.
Yeah that’s why these gains in “efficiency” are completely imaginary.
Only if you don’t have the critical thinking to understand how information management is a significant problem and barrier to medical care.
Being able to research and find material relevant to a patient’s problem is an arduous task that often is too high a barrier for doctors to invest in given their regular workloads.
Which leads to a reduction in effective care.
By providing a more efficient and effective way to dig up information that saves a ton of time and improves care.
It’s still up to the doctor to evaluate that information, but now they’re not slogging away trying to find it.
