@GeneralMedicine on healthcare's new bottleneck, and why getting care should be as easy as buying anything else online:
"Advice is becoming really abundant, and getting to a list of answers with a GPT has become a thing that almost everyone is doing now in healthcare."
"But I think that answer almost always comes back to a set of tasks for you to go do. It might be, you should go call and book an appointment with a doctor, call and book an appointment with a specialist, go get these sets of labs, or go get this imaging done."
"While advice is abundant, you then are immediately stuck back with the realities of the current healthcare system."
"We've for a very long time felt like the best modality for that is a store. Everything else in your life, you search and browse the options available to you, you understand what they cost, you understand when they're available, and you go buy the thing."
"The time is right for something like this in healthcare because the bottleneck is no longer advice, the bottleneck is taking action on that advice."
