What AI will do
- Retrieving and summarising patient medical history
- Flagging drug interactions from prescriptions
- Generating referral letters and standardised notes
What keeps you human
- Diagnostic reasoning in ambiguous clinical presentations
- Patient communication and the therapeutic relationship
- Ethical judgment in life-affecting decisions
