Summary

The digital healthcare landscape is poised for significant changes, driven by advancements in natural language processing and machine learning. Self-service solutions will augment or replace traditional physician visits, providing patients with more control over their care. These solutions will also increase the availability of healthcare to the general public, making it more affordable and accessible. Despite this shift, the doctor consultation will remain a crucial point of contact between healthcare providers and patients. AI-powered tools will begin to transform consultations, providing medical summaries, automated interpretation, and driver assist for doctors. The integration of AI into the medical space is expected to lead to improved diagnosis accuracy, reduced burnout among practitioners, and enhanced patient care.
