🎯 Evidence-based medicine #EBM will remain a pure theory until #AI is implemented in doctors' decision-making. 🎓 Every day, 5000-1000 research papers are published in the field of #biomedicine and #lifesciences. 📚 It’s a #library that a doctor would need to study daily to stay up to date. It has been impossible so far, but now it is doable due to #AI-driven decision support systems that can access the recent know-how - no matter where it is generated - to help make the right decision for a patient based on facts and data. 🧑⚕️ And doctors soon won’t be able to imagine working without #AI as they can’t imagine working without modern medical devices or medicines today. AI as healthcare professionals’ co-pilot is necessary to reduce medical errors (they will soon become more visible when data on patient outcomes becomes available) or meet rising patient expectations. ❤️ Evidence-based medicine will be more human when AI offers a well-crafted diagnosis or prevention-related advice adapted to the patient's lifestyle and needs instead of generalized guidelines. 🪄 Also, patients won’t trust doctors who don’t use AI. We no longer trust those who make notes on paper and claim they do not need stethoscopes or MRIs. The more we get familiar with AI, the less we fear it. The pre-ChatGPT skepticism is now being replaced by wonder of AI’s capabilities. And medicine needs wonders like no other sector. 📈 Already now, according to OECD statistics, healthcare is leading in VC’s investments in artificial intelligence. 🚄 No, AI is not a silver bullet in medicine. Stethoscopes without doctors are of no use. AI without doctors is powerless: even if ChatGPT can diagnose quite well, it can’t guide patients through their emotional challenges. We humans are far too complex to be treated by algorithms that have no idea what it means to suffer, hope, and fight for life. Every human has their story and acts in an irrational - not mathematical - way that only humans can understand. 🧪 But medicine and AI can create perfect synergy, leading to discoveries, improved patient outcomes/safety, and prevention we haven’t dreamed of. I’m 100% sure that the next breakthroughs in treating cancer will be due to AI. 📱 We all are lucky to be Gen T - generation growing up in the digital age, generation Tech, or generation Transformation. And we are responsible for making the best of the AI in medicine. 📚 On the photo: city library in Stuttgart. For the first time in history, everybody can access knowledge without the need to study all the books. Thanks to AI.

But isn't that why doctors specialise and why science conducts meta-analyses? Doctors don't have to read 1000 publications per day, but instead one per day or 10 per month. Disclaimer: I do believe that the development of AI in life sciences is crucial.

AI is a buzz word. AI is statistics, machine learning. AI cannot be strategic or creative. It can only reproduce or combine what’s already there. AI is perfect to safe us from memorizing too many facts and boring tasks, allowing *US* to be creative. Humans are creative, not AI/ML.

Absolutely spot-on Artur! The exponential growth in research studies and the complexity of medical data demand advanced solutions to help clinicians stay up to date while also managing the burden of their clinical duties. At SECONDLIFE, we've recognised this challenge and are building the world's first platform where clinicians can receive immediate feedback on complex cases, particularly in cancer and rare diseases. Moreover, our platform enables research scientists to share their latest findings directly with those who need them most, rather than remaining confined to journal articles. We believe in the power of collective intelligence as a crucial first step to address these challenges. By harnessing this collective knowledge, we aim to lay the groundwork for powerful foundational models that can further automate and enhance the diagnostic and therapeutic processes.

Input: it is not about the big medical published data - it is about the integrity, quality and reproduceability of medical data: „Garbage in, Garbage out“ - statement by Nobel Laureate in Medicine … though it is about „Precision Handling First“ and AI second …
