Beautiful piece of writing, as always, Ben. Since starting my AI health startup, WellAI, 4.5 years ago, I’ve discovered that 99% of clinicians' day-to-day problems don't necessarily require AI. They require automation (workflow optimization, voicemail minimization, scheduling simplification, API setup, good ol’ Java/Xcode programming, etc.) Clinicians aren't particularly excited about AI as such. They get excited about spending less time in front of a computer screen and spending more time with patients. As innovators in digital health, we must go back to the drawing board and start simple: we must focus on minimizing clicks for clinicians, not on bombarding them with "the latest and the greatest" in AI.
