Sorry to dump a bucket of cold water on this but medicine is all about metrics. So they just need to see a certain number of patients a day? There is no "they" and it's a lot darker than that. Each individual physician has a profile and some physicians even get daily reports. The annual financial cost is $40,000 per physician for "quality reporting," "process quality measures," "quality based incentive programs," or "value practice metrics." I didn't believe it at first either so I suggest googling it.
For profit or non-profit, it doesn't matter. They don't exist to loose money. If a physician can't or won't adapt they are terminated.
Does AI have the potential to advance healthcare? Absolutely! Who stands to benefit most? Countries currently lacking in quality healthcare and infrastructure.

Then there's the medical device industry that both Apple and Google have been pursuing with only miniscule victories.

We're seeing more and more cases of GPU powered applications that don't require the G. Is there a case to be made for creating cards that are like GPUs but with the specialised functionality used to speed up graphic operations removed and replaced with functionality that speeds up stuff like AI?
