AI in Healthcare Newsletter mentions the publication of Dr. Razmi’s new book: AI Doctor: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and his interview with Newsweek. In their discussion, they focus on the adoption issues that Dr. Razmi delves into in his book and how AI technologies need to show benefits to physicians in terms of improving their workflows and not threaten their jobs and income levels. Otherwise, physicians have shown historically that they are very effective at slowing or preventing the adoption of certain technologies.
‘Nobody could force a doctor to practice medicine in a way they don’t want to.’ Think otherwise? Try pressuring physicians to use an iteration of AI that, in their perception, might threaten their income and their autonomy. Cardiologist-turned-venture capitalist Ronald Razmi, MD, makes the point in an interview with Newsweek. “Historically, physicians have shown they’re very good at making sure those technologies never gain adoption,” adds Razmi, who expounds on the observation in his new book, AI Doctor: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare.
