Clifford Hudis, CEO at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“AI is quickly changing the landscape of healthcare, streamlining many burdensome processes so clinicians can spend more time actually caring for patients instead of looking at screens and keyboards. And it should only get better in the years ahead.
This advance was the focus of my panel discussion alongside Francis deSouza and Chris Sakalosky at last week’s Google Cloud Cancer AI Symposium.
We are pursuing this vision today at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) with the recent launch of our AI-powered Guidelines Assistant.
This tool allows members to quickly search and navigate our complete library of clinical practice guidelines by asking simple, natural language questions. Learn more at asco.org/ga.
The Assistant is only the first step in ASCO’s AI journey. Our next phase, in collaboration with Google Cloud and Wolters Kluwer, will leverage AI to accelerate creating and updating our clinical guidelines, all while maintaining human expert control.
With AI, we’re at an exciting turning point in medicine. I left the discussion energized and certain about the path ahead because we’re enabling even more compassionate and human high quality care delivery, which I see as the ultimate driver and reward for a career in medicine. Many thanks to Google Cloud for including ASCO in this event!”
