Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again

Deep Medicine is a fascinating and superbly well informed view of how we can and should harness new technologies to improve healthcare. Dr Topol is an absolute authority on the medical applications of technology and offers a balanced, cautiously optimistic but still realistic overview of the future. Highly recommended reading for those in the medical world and patients alike - Iet's hope we can follow Dr Topol's advice to harness technology to help Doctors be more human.

I saw a recommendation for the book on the internet and got curious to read it. Little I knew my mind would actually be blown by my ignorance on the state of affairs of medicine. The book is straightforwardly written, full of meaningful and important facts properly referenced throughout the text. This is nowadays more than ever important, as whatever you read here should provide you a good base to think on what healthcare systems have we built and want to build for our future. AI is going to be pervasive and affect everything, starting from the patient-physician relation and going up to the 'top', where individuals data are chunked to produce guiding data for health policies. Being aware of these changes opens room for us patients to fight for a more humane and effective care.

Allowed me to understand the minds of the doctor and how the technology that was supposed to help him aid those in need has pulled him/her away from the patients and let to his eventual burnouts. I am studying to be a biomedical engineer and thought it was a really worthwhile read because it showed me not only how technology has bloomed over the recent decades but also where it can go and how it being used right now to learn so much more about our unique bodies that require unique medications.

I really enjoyed this book. To the extent that I started taking notes half way through (which I never normally do). A great overview of the potential for AI in healthcare. Would thoroughly recommend.

Wow... this is an excellent overview of AI in healthcare. Well recommended. Arrived in time

Provides a lot of references which in 2023 are not relevant anymore. Some AI applications to medicine are not thoroughly touched upon such as bias in medical devices.

Definitely worth read!

A good introductory book to learn about what deep learning is being used for so far and what the future might hold. Written more from an American healthcare point of view.
