Eric Topol: AI Doctors, Medicine's Future, and The Delta Variant (#173)

#AI #FutureofMedicine #EricTopol Dr. Eric Topol M.D. is a
Physician-Scientist, Author, Editor and is The Gary & Mary West
Endowed Chair of Innovative Medicine, and the Executive VP, Scripps
Research. We discussed the meaning of life, ways for Artificial
Intelligence to improve patient outcomes…and concomitantly, benefit
physicians too. We explored the ethical imperatives incumbent on
doctors— is it ok to exaggerate medical benefits/risks to
incentivize greater patient participation. We closed with his
concerns about Elon Musk's long-term space travel from a medical
perspective, including his thoughts on the Kelly twin astronaut
study. Support our Sponsors LinkedIn Jobs! Use this link to post

http://briankeating.com/mailing_list.php Dr. Topol's research is on
individualized medicine, using the genome and digital technologies
to understand each person at the biologic, physiologic granular
level to determine appropriate therapies and prevention. An example
is the use of pharmacogenomics and his research on clopidogrel
(Plavix). By determining the reasons for why such a large
proportion of people do not respond to this medication, we can use
alternative treatment strategies to prevent blood clots. In his
latest book, Deep Medicine, Dr. Topol explores how AI will empower
physicians and revolutionize patient care Medicine has become
inhuman, to disastrous effect. The doctor-patient relationship--the
heart of medicine--is broken: doctors are too distracted and
overwhelmed to truly connect with their patients, and medical
errors and misdiagnoses abound. In Deep Medicine, Dr. Topol reveals
how artificial intelligence can help. Join this channel to get
