Comment on Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds
SuspciousCarrot78@lemmy.world 6 days agoAgree.
I’m sorta kicking myself I didn’t sign up for Google’s MedPALM-2 when I had the chance. Last I checked, it passed the USMLE exam with 96% and 88% on radio interpretation / report writing.
I remember looking at the sign up and seeing it requested credit card details to verify identity (I didn’t have a google account at the time). I bounced… but gotta admit, it might have been fun to play with.
Oh well; one door closes another opens

It’s been a few years, but all this shit’s still in it’s infancy. When the bubble pops and the venture capital disappears, Medical will be one of the fields that keeps using it, even though it’s expensive, because it’s actually something that it will be good enough at to make a difference.

Agreed!
I think (hope) the next application of this tech is in point of care testing. I recall a story of a someone in Sudan(?) using a small, locally hosted LLM with vision abilities to scan hand written doctor notes and come up with an immunisation plan for their village, preventing a disease (measles?) outbreak.
We already have PoC testing for things like Ultrasound… but that relies on strong net connection. It’d be awesome to have something on device that can be used for imaging where there is no other infra.
Maybe someone can finally win that $10 million dollar X prize for the first viable tricorder…one that isn’t smoke and mirror like Theranos.

For the price of a ultrasound equipment, I bet someone could manage to integrate old school sattelite or …grr starlink… data
