Publisher's summary

One of America's top doctors reveals how AI will empower physicians and revolutionize patient care

Medicine has become inhuman, to disastrous effect. The doctor-patient relationship - the heart of medicine - is broken: doctors are too distracted and overwhelmed to truly connect with their patients, and medical errors and misdiagnoses abound. In Deep Medicine, leading physician Eric Topol reveals how artificial intelligence can help. AI has the potential to transform everything doctors do, from notetaking and medical scans to diagnosis and treatment, greatly cutting down the cost of medicine and reducing human mortality. By freeing physicians from the tasks that interfere with human connection, AI will create space for the real healing that takes place between a doctor who can listen and a patient who needs to be heard.

Innovative, provocative, and hopeful, Deep Medicine shows us how the awesome power of AI can make medicine better, for all the humans involved.

Dr Topol’s passion to improve medicine explodes in this book

I really enjoyed this Audible version of Deep Medicine.
My first encounter with Dr Topol was. Ted Talk and it was spell binding. This sent my wife and I to Dallas to sign up for the biggest medical study in history - AllOfUs.org.
This book expands on what he presented in the Ted Talk.
The narrator did a great job I getting out Dr Topol’s passion.
I highly recommend this title.

Should be required reading for all premed students

Recommend this to anyone in clinical medicine. I am not sure I am fully on board with AI bring back the human side of medicine. I think to bring back the human side of medicine, we need to focus on quality and not quantity aka $$$

a comprehensive review

it seemed like a huge review article of all things currently possible with AI in medicine and the speculative future possibilities. just didn't feel it had the oomph factor for such an important topic. nevertheless, an important read if you want to stay updated.

An Optimistic Look at the Future of Healthcare

Interesting look at how artificial intelligence may play a role in medicine and health care. Some aspects are already here such as phone apps, fitness trackers, and virtual digital assistants.

Lots of good information

I'm a practicing rural family physician and listened to this book after I heard a second person raving about this book. I was amazed at how much I learned. After reading this book, I am surprised that diagnostic radiology is even a viable specialty anymore. I often felt that even my skills are going the way of the dinosaurs. Considering how widespread mental illness is in our society, and knowing that stress is such a potent symptom magnifier, I doubt that computers will ever be able to replace my job. Even the author's orthopedic experience (and his subsequent "cure") may have been in part psychosomatic. There is a lot to consider in this well written tome.

Can’t recommend this highly enough

I’m a non-clinical data scientist starting to work more in the clinical space, and this book taught me so much. Most of his non-clinical citations come from books I’ve read, and he summarized their work very well. I heard this author speak at the 2019 CHIME CIO forum,and bought this book while he was talking, without reading the reviews or listening to a sample. I just knew it would be great, and I was not wrong.
