It's fascinating to see so many different companies, large and small, incumbent and challenger, circle around a new type of AI-led healthcare operating system. It makes sense... with a massive physician shortage and worsening health outcomes, something's gotta give. New drug development has gotten a lot of attention recently, but what's more exciting to me is (finally) connecting the dots for patients, so that receiving care is accessible and seamless. Kudos OpenClinic (YC F24) on the recent launch. 👏 #healthtech #healthcareinnovation #ai
OpenClinic (YC F24) is an EHR platform that powers digital medical clinics with sophisticated AI that handles 99% of the work, letting doctors focus purely on medical decision-making. There's little doubt that when we fast forward 5-10 years, every person with a medical symptom will start their healthcare journey by talking to a sophisticated medical AI. On the back end of those models will be a network of doctors asynchronously providing the 1% human-in-the-loop confirmation to ensure safety and legal compliance. OpenClinic is building the foundational layer for that future of healthcare. With a team that includes 3 medical doctors (who are also software engineers themselves), there's nobody better to take on this ambitious challenge head-on. Their AI assistant takes a comprehensive medical history using an empathic voice-based interface, uses sophisticated medical reasoning to narrow down likely diagnoses, and produces evidence-based treatment suggestions for each patient. Licensed doctors then review the text-based summaries of the cases their AI has gathered data for asynchronously and choose how to manage the patients. In this fashion, they're able to deliver end-to-end healthcare where AI manages 99%, and doctors do the final high-value 1%. This is a safe, compliant, and scalable model that offers a credible pathway to making high-quality healthcare accessible to any person in the world with an internet connection. Congrats on the launch, Usama Syed, Riyan Moussaoui, MD, Hassan M., and Nabil Belahouane! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gS4DP-ZD
