Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.
They created Glass Health in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. “During the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,” said Paul. He added, “I experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.”
Glass Health introduced this AI system, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient’s age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.
“Clinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient’s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,” Paul told “Glass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.”
In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.
Please note that this AI system is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.
