AI赋能健康：公共卫生与医疗系统的未来图景
Dr. Umair Shah, former Washington State Secretary of Health, and Dr. Gianrico Farrugia, CEO of Mayo Clinic, discuss the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in public health and healthcare delivery.
Shah emphasizes that public health, often an invisible force akin to a football team's offensive line, is critical for population well-being. He highlights the underinvestment and underappreciation of public health infrastructure, which was starkly revealed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Shah advocates for proactive AI integration to manage vast datasets, improve communication, and shift from reactive to proactive health strategies. He stresses the urgency for public health practitioners to engage with AI development to ensure it serves their field effectively, warning that inaction risks AI being shaped without their crucial input.
Farrugia details Mayo Clinic's strategic embrace of AI through its Mayo Clinic Platform (MCP), initiated around 2018-2019. He explains the platform's goal to cure diseases, connect data for new knowledge, and transform healthcare. Farrugia highlights AI's role in improving clinical care, citing examples like AI-powered algorithms for diagnosing conditions from EKGs and digitizing pathology slides. He notes that generative AI has been an enabler rather than a disruptor for Mayo, accelerating their existing AI initiatives. Farrugia acknowledges initial skepticism but emphasizes the overwhelming energy and potential for AI to enhance patient outcomes, research, and education, advocating for a bold, transformative approach to AI adoption in healthcare rather than merely optimizing existing systems.
