He outlines what he calls the deep medicine framework as a comprehensive strategy for the incorporation of AI into different aspects of healthcare.

Key Points: 
  • He outlines what he calls the deep medicine framework as a comprehensive strategy for the incorporation of AI into different aspects of healthcare.
  • The framework of deep medicine is built upon three core pillars: deep phenotyping, deep learning and deep empathy.
  • These pillars are all interconnected and adopting this framework could enhance patient care, support healthcare staff and strengthen the entire NHS system.

Deep phenotyping

  • Deep phenotyping refers to a comprehensive picture of an individual’s health data, across a full lifetime.
  • A deep phenotype goes far beyond the limited data collected during a standard medical appointment or health episode.

Deep learning

  • This is where deep learning – an area of AI that seeks to simulate the decision-making power of the human brain – is so valuable.
  • Deep learning uses an algorithm called a neural network that uses little, mathematical computers, called “neurons”, that are connected to one another to share and learn information.
  • Advances in neural network algorithms, technology, and availability of digital data have enabled neural networks to demonstrate impressive performance.
  • For instance, they have enabled the rapid and accurate analysis of medical images, such as X-rays and MRIs.
  • In addition, AI technology like that behind ChatGPT can process medical literature and patient records to help make complex diagnoses.

Deep empathy

  • This is the pillar of deep medicine known as deep empathy.
  • Healthcare has increasingly become a discipline where the human touch, once its cornerstone, is overshadowed by a relentless pursuit of efficiency.
  • AI solutions can be designed to reduce the administrative burdens for staff, opening up more opportunities for meaningful patient interaction.
