Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, keynoted last week’s ATA with some surprising statements:
- Artificial intelligence will make smartphones smarter than humans
- Siri-Watson-type combinations will reduce doctors to technicians when it comes to diagnostics; artificial intelligence-fueled computer systems will run decision-support systems and “listen” to patients via voicerecognition
- ClickCare, a ‘virtual doctors’ lounge’ which lets doctors, specialists and patients collaborate via messaging and image sending online and on mobile (iClickCare), was singled out for praise by the self-admitted ‘gadget guy.’ However, the online version of ClickCare has been around since 1995!
