This saddens me because it really is impossible to get people to appreciate just how important the human doctor patient relationship is, and how so much ‘disease’ or ‘illness’ lies within the psyche. The inability to get people to appreciate or have insight into this uniquely human truth means that all too often medical investigation and treatment is driven by making or arriving at a physical diagnosis without considering the emotions, stresses, psyche or personality of the attached human being. I.e. there is a tendency to regard the body as a machine that has a mechanical problem, this can be diagnosed by making measurements or taking tests until the abnormality if found.
Patients usually have ZERO insight into the above when it comes to themselves personally. This where you need an experienced insightful physician who balances the need to investigate and ‘check everything’ vs what may be largely psychosomatic. Checking everything every time is enormously costly. MRI scans are not cheap. Patients are absolutely the worst at directing their own healthcare investigation or treatment and Dr Gupta does not solve that. Medicine is perhaps the ONLY industry where the customer is NOT always right.
AI can hugely help a fully trained, experienced physician but to attempt to use it like Dr Google is used now is an unmitigated disaster in the making. I’m sorry Martin, it should be licensed for the assistance of trained experienced physicians only. Dr Gupta could increase the productivity of such individuals but it cannot replace them. Not even a little.

I tried Dr Gupta and was extremely impressed. I'd love to chat about investing. I'm a venture partner a $1.8 billion institutional VC fund focused on healthcare and AI, so could be a great fit. I'm josh@signalfire.com
The 'models' are broken. The "future" is a necessity now.
People say, "Wah well a DOCTOR RELATIONSHIP is supposed to be IN PERSON and (for reasons)" so we can't do this. Yet they forget that both are possible and may even make doctors (medicine) BETTER if they have data supervision from their clients w access to same. Up the game.
(And Martin don't let your haters pose as journalists to mess w your lp prospects, that crosses a real line, they are already going to write stupid crap, but 3P interference w your process, prospects, targets you know better than......................................)
"My central thesis is: Healthcare is more expensive than we’d like mostly because of the artificially constrained supply of healthcare professionals."

The competition is Epic Systems + OpenAI.
Good luck :)
