🤖 🤔 Why are there so many Generative AI skeptics in healthcare?

🤖 🤔 Why are there so many Generative AI skeptics in healthcare?

I guess there will always be technology skeptics. It’s healthy to question the benefits of something you have never used.

On the other hand, it seems fashionable to dismiss the possibilities that Gen AI brings to healthcare.
✅ Is it easy to just doubt the role of machines in keeping us healthy?
✅ Has the press scared them into thinking doctors will be replaced?
✅ Do they struggle to see how busy clinicians would find time to learn a new technology?
✅ Are they worried about the risks to patient safety?

🔧 It has little to do with the features of the tech…

💰 It has little to do with the viability of the company….

🧩 It’s NOT just about the tech.

💭 What’s interesting is that over the years, I have developed complex frameworks to determine impact, clinical efficacy, and sustainability…

💡 Nearly every evaluation was about much more than the tech itself. Each time there was a larger goal, and I spent as much time perfecting my mastery of that goal as I did on the tech itself. You see, tech is never the goal.

🎯 Technology is not the destination; it’s the vehicle.

✋🛑 Interruptions have a bad rap…

🤔 Credited with robbing our focus and productivity, interruptions couldn’t possible be useful…could they?

🌳 Nature tends to introduce interruptions…

🍁 In Autumn, trees shed their leaves and take a break from photosynthesis and go dormant.

💪 In a spectacular show of survivalism, trees take the remaining nutrients from their leaves turning them brilliant colors, painting creative landscapes. Then, they drop their leaves conserving water and energy, as it reduces water loss and prevents damage from freezing temperatures. The trees will absorb some of the nutrients from the leaves and store them so they can be used later. This scheduled interruption allows the tree to prepare for the winter, and reemergence in the spring.

💡 In this way, trees interrupt their growth and thriving in their journey toward creativity, and future productivity. Humans can as well!

🍁💪 So, what’s your ‘foot speed’? Maybe it’s time we all started training that bit smarter, not just physically but mentally. Whether you’re aiming to be the next Usain Bolt or the best version of yourself…

😔 Poor New Yorkers report high rates of anxiety and/or depression…

💰 Half of New Yorkers making under $25,000 a year are battling anxiety or depression, a striking contrast to the just over one in five of their counterparts earning $100,000 or more who face the same struggles. This stark divide underscores the heavy toll that financial strain places on mental well-being.

Nationally, behavioral health conditions account for avoidable emergency department care costing billions annually…
