Deep Medicine

How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again

By Eric Topol | Publisher: Basic Books

About the book

One of America's top doctors reveals how AI will empower physicians and revolutionize patient care.

“A compulsively readable, elegantly written, important account,  Deep Medicine  will fundamentally change the way you view the future of medical technologies and their impact on our lives.” -Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies

Medicine has become inhuman, to disastrous effect. The doctor-patient relationship—the heart of medicine—is broken: doctors are too distracted and overwhelmed to truly connect with their patients, and medical errors and misdiagnoses abound.

In Deep Medicine, leading physician Eric Topol reveals how artificial intelligence can help. AI has the potential to transform everything doctors do, from notetaking and medical scans to diagnosis and treatment, greatly cutting down the cost of medicine and reducing human mortality. By freeing physicians from the tasks that interfere with human connection, AI will create space for the real healing that takes place between a doctor who can listen and a patient who needs to be heard.

Innovative, provocative, and hopeful, Deep Medicine shows us how the awesome power of AI can make medicine better, for all the humans involved.
