MCS 近期推出了早期版本的線上AI診斷平台,初步測試下來,表現很讓人驚喜,以下分享個模擬看診的情境,你想想要是未來醫生有這樣的醫療助手會有多麼令人振奮!
#mcs recently launched an early version of their AI diagnostic platform, and initial testing has yielded impressive results. Let me share a simulated consultation scenario that demonstrates how exciting it would be for doctors to have such a medical assistant in the future!
我們先快速回顧當前醫療編碼面臨的重大挑戰:每年因醫療編碼錯誤造成250億美元的損失,錯誤率高達9.4%。更令人擔憂的是,每年有25萬例可預防的死亡源於醫療失誤。平均每個病例需要13分鐘的編碼時間,造成大量積壓。醫院每年在編碼上的支出達380萬美元,每次錯誤修正的成本在45-50美元之間。
Before that, let’s have a quick overview of the critical medical issues we are facing: The healthcare industry currently faces significant coding challenges. Medical coding errors cost healthcare $25B annually, with a 9.4% error rate. More concerningly, there are 250,000 preventable deaths yearly due to medical errors. With an average coding time of 13 minutes per case, massive backlogs are created. Hospitals spend $3.8M yearly on coding, with each error costing $45-50 to fix.
看完當前困境,讓我們回到測試正題:
患者看醫生通常對症狀的描述不外乎是這樣的:「最近覺得怪怪的,整個人提不起勁,而且跟平常累的感覺不太一樣。關節和肌肉會酸痛,痛的地方還會換來換去。站起來時會頭暈,沒什麼食慾,明明很累卻又睡不好...這是不是有什麼問題?」
Now, back to my simulated scenario: I input a normal patient’s vague description of symptoms, like this: " Hello doctor, I'm not feeling quite myself lately. I've been having these... odd sensations. It's hard to put my finger on exactly what's wrong. For the past few weeks, I've been really tired, but it's different from normal tiredness, if that makes sense? And I keep getting these dull aches that seem to move around - sometimes in my joints, sometimes more in my muscles.
I've also noticed that I get dizzy spells, especially when I stand up too quickly. My appetite isn't what it used to be either. Some days I hardly want to eat at all. Oh, and I've been having trouble sleeping, even though I feel exhausted most of the time.
Is this... is this something I should be worried about?"
MCS 5個AI專家分層診斷後給出了基於證據的全面性評估,涵蓋了「主/次要診斷」、「症狀編碼」、「需要警惕問題」與「建議追蹤症狀」。厲害的是,他不單只是關注主要症狀,潛在併發症、後續治療評估也提供了完整的建議。標準化的專業醫療編碼(Medical Coding)搭配嚴謹的信度評估讓後續就醫參考以及對接保險系統一條龍順暢!
The system's five AI specialists provided an evidence-based comprehensive assessment, covering: primary and secondary diagnoses, symptom coding, alert-worthy conditions, recommended follow-up symptoms.
Impressively, the system went beyond just analyzing primary symptoms. It provided complete recommendations for potential complications and subsequent treatment evaluations. The standardized medical coding paired with rigorous confidence assessments creates a seamless pipeline for medical reference and insurance processing.
但是,或許是因爲症狀描述過於籠統,報告裡出現多個病毒感染編碼重疊,診斷區分有點模糊的小問題。不過以初代的版本來說,已經非常驚艷了!
However, due to the vague symptom description, the report showed some overlapping viral infection codes and slightly ambiguous diagnostic distinctions. But anyways, for an initial version, the performance is remarkably impressive!
作為使用者,我有幾個可以進步的建議:
1. 他可以追問患者更多的信息,根據回答調整診斷與評估症狀嚴重程度
2. 提供個人化建議,給予患者預防建議和自我照顧指導等
3. 診斷講求望聞問切,平台上的PDF上傳欄位或許可以分析患者病史、X光圖像、攝取藥物作用分析?
As a user, I have several suggestions for enhancement:
1. Interactive Questioning:
- Follow-up questions for patients
- Dynamic diagnosis adjustment based on responses
- Symptom severity assessment capability
2. Personalized Recommendations:
- Preventive advice
- Self-care guidance
- Lifestyle recommendations
3. Comprehensive Analysis Capabilities:
- Medical history analysis through PDF uploads
- X-ray image interpretation
- Medication interaction analysis
如果這些功能能完善,那這個分析工作以API的形式鋪展,一定能為醫生提供初步篩查和建議,幫助醫生更快速、準確地做出判斷。根據初步估算,這套系統不僅能將編碼時間從平均13分鐘縮短至30秒以內,更能將錯誤率從9.4%降低至1%以下,每個病例成本可由75-90美元降到約0.05美元。若是作為醫療助手大規模實現,對現有醫療服務質量和成本效益都將帶來革命性的提升!
If these features are implemented and the analysis work is expanded through API integration, it could significantly assist doctors in preliminary screening and recommendations, helping physicians make faster and more accurate diagnoses. Initial estimates suggest the system could reduce coding time from 13 minutes to under 30 seconds per case, while lowering error rates from 9.4% to below 1%. The cost per case could be reduced from $75-90 to approximately $0.05. The large-scale implementation of such a medical assistant could revolutionize both the quality and cost-effectiveness of existing healthcare services!
