How AI is Transforming Healthcare | The Role of AI in Medicine | My Doctor Podcast Ep 20
Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolutionize healthcare? Will AI replace doctors, or is it here to support them? In this episode of #MyDoctorPodcast, host Joy Mwesigwa sits down with Niklas Inderst, Chief Technology Officer of My Doctor, to discuss the growing role of AI in healthcare and its impact on medical services.
The My Doctor platform is built on three key components:
– Telemedicine – Connecting patients across Uganda with doctors, especially those in remote areas.
– AI-powered Chatbot – Answering health questions instantly and bridging the patient-doctor gap.
– Digital Healthcare Records – Ensuring secure and efficient management of patient data.
We explore the benefits of AI in medicine, from improving diagnostics and personalizing treatment plans to enhancing accessibility and efficiency in healthcare. Unlike humans, AI never gets tired, providing instant responses and helping doctors streamline their workflow. But with AI playing a bigger role, who is responsible for its mistakes?
Importantly, AI is not here to replace doctors but to work alongside them—helping patients make informed decisions while ensuring serious medical cases are handled by professionals. My Doctor Chatbot, available in English and Luganda, can even assist with booking hospital appointments.
Security and privacy are a top priority, with high data protection standards ensuring patient information remains confidential.
