Hi, all. I’m Michael Plumer, Las Vegas resident with 50 years of experience as an anesthesiologist, then as a hospice doc, and now as an AI student. Have MD, MBA, and a year of graduate training in healthcare ethics, and now I’m launched into a new area where old learning doesn’t yet count for much. I can see that AI has HUGE potential to bring together historical data, current patient information, and the entirety of medical literature to ensure comfort at the end of life (where we often do a poor job of helping, despite our best intent). I look forward to learning how to make a difference.
Micheal, how do you see AI bring comfort at the end of life? Would this improve quality of life? I can see how AI would unite all the data you mentioned in the post but I am sketchy as to how it might bring comfort and improve quality of life at the end of life.
