Ep 183: AI as a clinical assistant, with Rebecca Fechner, Dr Joshua Pate and Dr Mick Thacker

There's plenty of work going into how AI can make health care better - including in recording consultation notes, or making early cancer diagnoses, or opening up low cost ways of doing musculoskeletal imaging. The technology and applications of AI in healthcare changes just about every week. Today, we're exploring generative AI as a help, not a hindrance to musculoskeletal rehabilitation practice. Physiotherapists Rebecca Fechner (Queensland Paediatric Persistent Pain Service), Dr Josh Pate (University of Technology Sydney) and Professor Mick Thacker (Royal College of Surgeons Ireland) talk about ways to use chatbots and generative AI to generate ideas and solve clinical problems. ------------------------------ RESOURCES The Prompt Engineering Guide is a deep dive into how to craft effective prompts for generative AI: https://www.promptingguide.ai/ More on the science of active inference: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25563935/
