Health experts have predicted that artificial intelligence will replace doctors within the next 10 years.
With the rise of apps and websites ready to diagnose illness and give treatment recommendations within seconds, StemProtect.co.uk the UKs stem cell bank, says that GPs will soon be a thing of the past, and instead we’ll turn to AI to give us all the information we need.
Among the apps already available for phones are those, which can provide information about the right dosage for specific prescription drugs, and diagnose health problems for you.
There are even those that give you access to your medical records at any time, and allow you to request repeat prescriptions and have them delivered straight to your door.
While it might be the case that doctors could in theory be replaced by artificial intelligence very soon, it seems we’re not quite culturally ready for the switch just yet.
So while medical apps continue to grow in popularity and usefulness, they’re still more of an addition to GPs rather than a replacement.
