The Doctor Actually Building Healthcare AI (And What She Found)
Physician, researcher and founder Rachel Draelos shares what building healthcare AI looks like in practice and where implementation differs from public debate.
Video summary
Rachel Draelos describes an AI system that reviews a large queue of medical images and flags scans that may need urgent human attention. Rather than deciding an emergency itself, the system can prioritise images and tell a radiologist which cases may warrant immediate review.
She also warns that AI has to be applied to the right problem: builders need to identify who benefits, why they benefit and why AI is the appropriate tool. The discussion presents healthcare AI as clinician-supporting workflow design, not a replacement for clinical judgement.
