Release date: 2016-10-31 Many times when we are sick or feel uncomfortable, the first choice is to search for relevant symptoms on the Internet. Even if we go to the hospital, check it, get a treatment drug or plan, or go online. Search for information about the disease, because the doctor does not have time to explain the cause and effect in detail. Many technology companies and medical institutions have introduced apps that can enter symptoms to make simple disease-related counseling and diagnosis, such as the famous Google doctor and the professional Mayo Clinic. This is often the case. Although doctors have an irreplaceable need for diagnostic treatment, the development of the Internet and the increasingly professional sharing of information have given us more channels for the relevant medical information we want to know. In fact, at least one-third of people in the United States use the APP to check for daily or sudden symptoms, including chest pain. When time is also a cost to us, many people tend to use this symptom to check their own disease and classify it as a sort of diagnostic and diagnostic tool. It's fast, easy, and can help in a critical moment. However, according to a recent study, doctors are still more efficient at accurate diagnosis than existing symptom-testing APPs . The study was recently published in JAMA Internal Medicine . When the doctors gave a diagnosis by studying the patient's medical history and symptoms, the probability of the doctor getting a correct diagnosis was 72% compared with the symptom check, and 34% in the APP. In 84% of cases, the doctor was able to give the correct diagnosis from the first three choices, and the data in the symptom check APP was 51%. The study evaluated APPs from a variety of sources online and selected more than 23 of them, including WebMD, iTriage, Sharecare's AskMD, and our well-known Mayo Clinic . Many companies have extended artificial intelligence to the medical field. Through various computer-based artificial intelligence to support various APPs to serve the healthy population and patients, Google Smart and IBM Watson are working hard in the medical field. APP provides recommendations Although still limited help, but can cover machine learning and information and history of the human brain still can not match bearer. Now, the recommendations given by these computer algorithms used in the symptom check APP are a very effective help for professional medical professionals, and can expand the scope of their diagnosis, but if the smart doctor wants to replace the human doctor, There is no doubt that there is still a long way to go. We hope that in the future, smart doctors can provide more help for the work of human doctors, complement each other and jointly serve human health. references: [1] Your Doctor Vs.
