Using AI To Help Get To A Diagnosis
About this episode
The episode discusses the use of AI in diagnosing health issues through the experience of a pelvic floor physical therapist.
Pelvic floor physical therapist Caroline Gamwell experienced a strange constellation of symptoms from the time she was 4. After decades of misdiagnoses, unnecessary surgery, and overmedication, she brought her search to an AI chatbot. Is it possible to use AI well in this situation? How do you protect yourself from potential AI hallucinations? Can someone with no medical background use AI to help get to a diagnosis?
