AI Agents in Healthcare: The Doctor Will See You Now (Virtually)

I had a weird rash last month. Instead of going to the clinic, I used a healthcare AI agent. It asked me a series of questions, looked at a photo I uploaded, cross-referenced symptoms, and told me it was likely an allergic reaction and to take an antihistamine. It also told me to see a real doctor if it got worse. It didn't replace a doctor, but it saved me a $50 copay and a 2-hour wait. The potential here for triage and remote care is massive, especially for people in rural areas. We’re only scratching the surface.
