How AI is Changing Access to Medicine

Watch Cofounders of Doctronic, Matt Pavelle and Adam Oskowitz, discuss AI’s role in shaping the future of medicine with the New York Post’s William Zimmerman. Pavelle shares that Doctronic aims to create the ideal studio. He told the Post, “The process is really built for anyone who doesn’t have time to wait. In New York I think it’s a three week wait time to see a primary care physician, which is nuts. I don’t want to wait three weeks for the subway, I don’t want to wait three weeks for a doctor. So we’re trying to fix the problem to get people immediate access to healthcare.” Pavelle shares that Doctronic is meant to optimize a patient’s experience with their doctor, not replace it or nefariously store medical data. He explained, “Our memory is totally private. It never gets shared with any of the AI providers or anything. We have our own AI, we have our own memory and obviously if you want to delete it, it’s gone forever. So you don’t have to worry about your data getting out into the public anywhere. It’s all HIPAA-secured and safe, and it’s encrypted.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]
