🤖🩺 The Doctor's AI Assistant: Smarter Visits, Better Conversations?

🤖🩺 AI, Answers & Appointments: Is Your Doctor's New Assistant a Chatbot?

Could your next doctor's visit begin with a conversation with AI?

🔬 A fascinating 2026 Lancet study tested conversational AI in primary care.

📊 Among 98 patients completing the study:

✅ Zero predefined safety stops

✅ Physicians found AI summaries helpful in 33/44 cases

✅ AI potentially influenced physician decisions in 25/44 cases

⚠️ One hallucination was identified.

💡 The message? AI may help physicians prepare, but it cannot replace clinical judgment.
