AI in healthcare can dramatically bring the cost of healthcare down, but only if Congress is cautious about regulating AI. Iowa tech founder and retina surgeon Michael Abramoff, MD, PhD of Digital Diagnostics out of Iowa City has developed an “AI Doctor” that can diagnose diabetic retinopathy faster, and more accurately than a trained physician. He explains the future of AI in healthcare, how Iowa innovation is beating Silicon Valley, and why regulations must be balanced.
Abramoff has testified and consulted with Congress on the use of AI in medicine and he’s authored numerous papers on the impact AI will have on not just the entire health system, but for each individual. His AI doctor can diagnose disease better than a physician, and the operator hardly needs any training at all. In fact, Digital Diagnostics’ device, Luminetics Core, is already being installed into grocery stores. Any physician can write a prescription and any patient can do their own evaluation.
