Microsoft is developing a medical assistant to help doctors during consultations
Artificial intelligence was created to assist various professionals in performing their jobs more effectively.
A recent Microsoft patent suggests that medical consultations could make use of artificial intelligence advancements to provide doctors with additional information about a range of patient-related and disease-related topics.
In particular, Microsoft has patented an AI medical assistant that may simplify and expedite physicians' tasks.
This technology can monitor the patient-doctor encounter during a medical visit and provide additional medical information.
To do this, the AI will generate a list of key topics based on the data collected that can help doctors better understand the context and provide better diagnoses.
This technology can track this meeting by collecting different types of information, such as the patient's symptoms or medical history.
The AI will then process the collected information and analyze this data to identify important topics to address during the consultation.
Finally, the AI will create a list of essential topics that medical professionals can eventually address, thus helping the doctor focus on the most important aspects that the AI detects.
It is just a patent, but it can help the medical staff a lot to get more information about the patient's visit.
