AI And Doctors: How AI Is Helping Clinicians And Healthcare Providers

AI and doctors. In healthcare, AI technologies are helping doctors by modernizing clinical decision-making and better managing workforces.

From siloed systems to legacy tech, administrative burden and burnout, digital divides and patient access, and clinicians navigating an increasing volume of data while meeting strict compliance requirements, the tech challenges that healthcare faces as it embraces AI are not minor.

In this report, Vera Health and Hallmark explain how AI is helping doctors and providers, what challenges they are seeing on the ground, and how leaders and new technologies can help overcome these challenges to help doctors provide better care.

AI and Doctors: How AI is Helping Doctors in Clinical Decision Support

AI is transforming medicine. Vera Health is a global AI-powered clinical decision-support tool for healthcare providers, used by over 400,000 healthcare professionals around the world. In countries like Spain, one in seven doctors already use Vera, while in Italy, one in seven doctors use the platform.

“I grew up watching my father come home and work methodically through a complex case with three massive volumes of Retina, a yellow highlighter and a stack of multicolored sticky notes,” says Dr. Bernard Chang, Vera Health’s Chief Scientific Advisor and Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Columbia University.

“Not so long ago, a question like this meant a day in the library,” says Dr. Chang.

“Years later, I met my co-founder Maxime, who shares my background, and we spent weeks shadowing clinicians inside their EHRs,” Dr. Chang adds. “What I saw as a child was even harsher in the chaos of the ER, with hundreds of critical internal protocols buried in drawers or on a SharePoint few people know exists, clinical pathways taped to walls, hundreds of data points on every patient”.

Vera Health helps them make better-informed decisions and focus on what they do best, taking care of their patients, Dr. Chang says.
