Great article from Katie Adams from MedCity News interviewing Lee Schwamm, MD. These are three great nuggets. I've built for clients the digital front door wrapper he's referencing. Depending on the maturity and budget availability of an organization, I would argue it's possible to do this even without the software development kit. Unfortunately, those can be cost prohibitive and inaccessible for many health system teams with limited expertise and bandwidth. I do wonder about how an LLM could work to overcome both a wide range of ways a patient might describe their condition and looming challenge information asymmetry between clinically trained knowledge and patient knowledge? Would it be trained to be so risk averse to still always default to an overrun primary care system? Would it really enable to bypass to a specialist when there might be access issues or referrals needed for that specialty? I really like the insight from Lee about the "mid-level, consistent, reliable experience." He talked about this at the Reuters Events Healthcare in San Diego a few weeks back and I still like it! Overall - great article Katie and Lee! https://lnkd.in/gyMRaMKh

I find it curious to watch this trend happening in Australia a few years after the US as our retailers, pharmacists, PHI’s and single disease platform as a service models think Telehealth is the new gold rush. Australia has a much smaller population and a consumer that is far more likely to spend $600 having their dogs teeth cleaned than investing in their own chronic health management because we grew accustomed to having a good healthcare system .Our attempt to get universal health care right with some passionate governments who wanted to deliver fair and equitable health had us all believing that healthcare should be free and that is the mindset of the health consumer these new entrants think they can disrupt. We have a relativly new government with the same vision waking up to the cost of not investing in prevention and early intervention and programs that deliver health equity so hopefully we will see some investment from them now so care is not further fragmented. Will we see all this hype of healthcare is the new gold so everyone jump on board and cash in fizzle out the same way we are seeing it happen in the US now? #disruption
