Why most AI healthcare applications are misconceived

From the text:

Yet decades of transactional, episodic, payment-driven infrastructure undermined the patient–physician relationship at the center of health.

Financing models have stripped Primary Care form its primary role.

That said, Healthcare AI will not be won on automation. Winners will likely optimize for three things simultaneously:

  • Outcomes
  • Experience — patient and physician
  • Economic impact on total cost of care long term

But most healthcare AI investments are mispriced because they target short term transactional efficiency, not long term strategic value creation.

I'm thinking that Ribitzky's need to interpreted in terms of idolatry. Why? Because they reduce humans to mechanisms to be optimized rather than being cared-for.
