“AI 医生出道”——“智慧医疗”让看病更简单

Artificial intelligence is spreading into health care, often as software or a computer program capable of learning from large amounts of data and making predictions to guide care or help patients. During some clinic and telemedicine appointments, AI-powered software asks patients initial questions about their symptoms that physicians or nurses normally pose. Researchers expect the technology to grow by helping people stay healthy, assisting doctors with tasks and doing more behind-the-scenes work.
“Our mission isn’t to replace human beings where only human beings can do the job,” said professor Albert Rizzo. Rizzo and his team have been working on a program named “Ellie”. Ellie makes eye contact, nods and uses hand gestures like a human therapist. After the first or second question, you kind of forget that it’s a robot. Ellie does not diagnose or treat. Instead, human therapists used recordings of its sessions to help determine what the patient might need.
The team that developed Ellie also has put together a newer AI-based program to help students manage stress and stay healthy. Ask Ari is making its debut at USC to give students easy access to advice on dealing with loneliness, getting better sleep or handling other complications that crop up in college life.
Eventually, the company wants to have AI diagnose and treat some minor illnesses. Researchers say much of AI’s potential for medicine lies in what it can do behind the scenes by examining data or images to spot problems or predict how a disease will develop, sometimes quicker than a doctor. But artificial intelligence also can’t process everything a doctor considers when deciding on treatment. That might include a patient’s tolerance for pain or the desire to live a few more months to attend a child’s wedding or graduation. “Good doctors are the ones who understand us and our goals as human beings,” Professor Rizzo said.
