a16z GP @julesyoo says AI broke healthcare's adoption curse: historically doctors had to be paid or forced to adopt new technology. Now they're choosing AI themselves "Historical adoption in healthcare was always unnatural. You had to pay doctors or force telehealth via pandemic. This currently is the first real organic adoption wave that we've seen in health tech, where doctors are just using AI scribes because they freaking work." "PLG-led motion where physicians and frontline workers have agency in being able to use these tools in a much different way." "On the consumer side, everybody's going to LLMs for health questions, and they're pretty damn good. Less hallucination, much more actionable advice. Forward integrating into marketplaces: get advice from ChatGPT then book a real doctor." "Even if not regulated, the trade-off is I either have to wait four months to get a real doctor's appointment, or go to an emergency room and pay $2,000, or I can just open up my phone. Go to the lowest friction place. Consumers are now educated that there's a better way." @a16z @KyruusHealth
