AI-Powered Healthcare: GPT-4's Impact in Hospitals
08:10 Share

Since is launched, one of the biggest areas that ChatGPT I believe can disrupt is in healthcare. And today, we're seen a pretty big step in that direction. Um epic, which is one of the biggest health care uh providers and I think hospitals in america, I think IT is actually you know the biggest um he has the largest share of U S A cute uh care hospitals um in that market.

IT has about thirty three percent according to a report. So epic is a really big um hospital health care company and they are integrating uh GPT four and they have a pretty close um partnership already with microsoft that would seen their expanding. So today on the podcast, we talk about what they're doing to actually integrate GPT for into health care, how that's going to change health care, what's them of the implications are and I think is very interesting one.

So let's to dive into the podcast. First off, I will say that it's been five months now, I thinks since microsoft first launched ChatGPT. So um what's interesting to know is usually around the six month mark after something like this comes out, there is going to be a massive wave of companies that are finally in production, right? There has been a lot of health companies that have been developed in stealth.

And I know that a ChatGPT obviously can um be integrated with an API a OK quicker into some staff software than other things. Um but that being said, you know really solid companies sometimes IT does take them a while to get out with some good products. And so I believe um we're about to see a really massive wave of these products launching.

And the reason I think that, that's relevant is because as we're also what that's happening, we're also seen at the same time some these mass of companies, right? One of the biggest hospitals in amErica is now integrating tragic ity directly, and it's going to be interesting to see how that affects a lot of these startups and a lot of these SaaS services. If they essentially, they were tied build in a product that is now not going be needed because hospitals are directly implementing, i'm or if they're still going to be a place in the market for them because I know there is a lot of healthcare sas companies coming out of ChatGPT.

So that can be something interesting. That's not just with health, are that with a lot of different areas. And I think IT really comes down to if you know these companies are building features or fully fledge platforms and products, right? So like if if they're just doing like an APP that does you know IT like transcribes notes or summarized as something in small for people is probably going to get replaced or absorbed into a more you know a bigger platform or something that is a lot more robust of a software sop that's going interesting.

But in any case, epic is essentially um launching this. There is they're gna be using a lot of the um special stuff that microsoft S M building the reserve platform and apparently the body began piloting a lot of different open ice services at a few different health care locations, including you see Sandy ago, hell, you double, you help and stanford health care. I'm so a lot of the health systems have started using mark soft technologies to essentially automatically draft message responses.

That's one thing they're using IT for. They actually said that we work with these organizations to identify a small subset of users who have been given training in context to leverage this feature and production. The users are generally clinical information at junks and or clinical leads to see the proms AI has um in shaping in the future of healthcare and understand the considerations involved in being able to benefit from this technology effectively in these early phases.

right? So they are just looking for early adopters um people that see the see the potential um and then they're using them to have test a lot of these features. And once they find something that really works and they try to scale that out. So as part of this kind of partnership that epic and microsoft are doing, the microsoft is also going to bring its natural language queries and interactive data analyst tools to slicer dicer, which is epic self service reporting tool. So this is kind of interesting or hate like epic R D has its own self reporting tool um and now they're incorporating their own stuff.

So IT just is one extra beer entry of any of these health care companies or sas companies, you know, getting in with a big company like epic when they already have their own SaaS tools and now they already building out ChatGPT on top of IT. And I mean, I don't think it's very far fetch to say that epic could then go take slicer dicer and license out to other hospitals and other healthcare providers. Um you know I essentially it's a hospital, but and now it's becoming a software companies.

Kind of interesting in spin. I feel like we may see a lot of that in the future, especially um when you look at companies that have data sets that they're using to help with those tools. I don't obviously um no uh obviously it's gonna a lot of really sensitive information and something like this.

So I deal with epic s going to be using this like they're using their um using all of the people that are the hospital data to frame these uh tools and then licensing that out. Um but it's going to interesting. I think there's a lot of cases, you know we see with bloomberg how they made bloomberg GPT based off of a lot of their internal data um and you know essentially they were news company.

Now they're turning into an A I more software company. So IT can be interesting to see what other companies make that sort of pivot um and start incorporating software to help you know their bottom line increase. So I think this sweet of analytics um in tools that I was essentially designed to help physicians explore their countries about medical questions.

Um that's what you know epic is currently working on as well as get answers about the Operational efficacy of their hospitals. Um that's kind of what the softer doesn't. So now integrated tragic iti is going to help this in a huge way.

I think it's gonna really just make IT more, I think, conversational. Well, a lot of these ysp ans are using these tools, which I think is one of the the best user experiences you can add to software. If you can make you a lot more integrated and conversational, it's a lot easier to use than no the software of the past, which was a lot of drop downs and um button and things that are a lot less intuitive.

So I think people are gna really appreciate that in health care. And at the same time, you know, I think this has a lot of different capabilities. Last month, nuance, which is owned by microsoft, also announced that he was integrated GPT forging to its clinical no taking tool.

So obviously this is another area that help cares using this, their integrating, uh, just different tools. Obviously doctors when you go in and they got to take a tone notes about you and ask you bunch of questions. And I think that a lot of this is going to be auto filled.

You know, you say something once and then it's gonna fill IT in a lot of different places or it's going to help you come up with different things are apparently also with epic and what the kind of integrated gp ty foreign is also to help i'm ask the system, their building about the impact of chronic conditions and on their local community am using more of natural language queries. It's going to be really interesting to see you know how this builds out. People have um said that GPT board is actually pretty good when IT comes to medical information.

And it's going to interesting in seen physicians use this um especially I mean at least you know it's a physician using IT hopefully just as a help and relying on their own background experience um I think areas you'd want to watch out for, as you know, jupiter I allus indy and giving a physician some sort of crazy medical piece of advice. But IT IT would seem that that's a less of the area that they're going in into and more of more of just like helping them with a lot of the administrative tasks. But he does say that there that there are creating features to explore on data and making that more conversational for physicians.

So that can be pretty interesting. Um and also they're also using IT for you know asking IT about different conditions and a medical things for community. So I believe that would be an they would definitely want to keep a close eye on hallucinations in health care. I'm obviously it's got a lot of really amazing potential, but you really want to watch out that this thing is being used well, especially when IT comes to medical and people's health. I think this is going to be a big area that people are watching into the future.
