What's Deep Medicine about?
Deep Medicine (2019) explores how artificial intelligence could dramatically reshape the health-care industry, from how illnesses are diagnosed to the ways patients are cared for. Our current experience of care is “shallow,” as overworked clinicians rush through patients without truly empathizing, listening, or being present. Artificial intelligence has the power to change this – and, perhaps paradoxically, to bring the human side back to medicine.
Who should read Deep Medicine?
- Health-care professionals and students
- Futurists interested in how AI may impact the health-care industry
- Anyone who’s ever been frustrated by flaws in the medical care they’ve received
