Revolutionising Medical Advisory: Beyond Google’s Limits
This article was written by chatGPT from rough notes
In the realm of online health information, a prevailing notion circulates, claiming that a simple Google search for symptoms inevitably yields the grim diagnosis of a life-threatening illness, often cancer. How can a solution be forged to supersede Google as a reliable medical advisory platform?
Understanding the Real-World Challenge:
Ideally, medical concerns should prompt consultations with doctors. However, escalating medical costs and distrust in physicians — fueled by the influence of pharmaceutical and surgical implant corporations — drive individuals to explore alternative advice sources. This distrust is further reflected in the surge of alternative medicine.
Scarce medical professionals in many communities result in prolonged wait times and hefty consultation fees. Pharmaceutical and surgical implant firms are compelled to incentivise doctors into favouring their products, culminating in excessive prescriptions and perilous surgeries employing unverified surgical implants.
Google’s Role in Medical Advisory and its Implications:
People utilize Google for two primary reasons: preliminary self-diagnosis and seeking a second opinion on medical advice from doctors. The pitfalls emerge when individuals either inaccurately diagnose their symptoms, risking inadequate treatment, or misinterpret medical advice, potentially delaying essential procedures or medication. Moreover, the influence of pharmaceutical and surgical implant entities distorts search results, tainting the information pool.
An optimal solution should achieve:
- Swift, cost-effective, reliable consultations, enhancing patient reach per doctor.
- Augmented direct benefits for doctors providing unbiased diagnoses, compared to indirect gains from promoting institutional agendas.
- Allow more patients to be served per doctor to reduce demand supply gap.
Solution Blueprint:
To materialize this vision, the following components are vital:
- Affordable Advisory: Offering advisory services at a fraction of traditional costs.
- Enhanced Doctor Value: Ensuring doctors receive more substantial compensation per consultation.
- Impartial Validation: Establishing a review system involving doctors to eliminate biases and external influences.
The Strategy:
- Community-Driven: Forming an online community of doctors willing to provide guidance. Some communities to target:
Doctors opposing pharmaceutical and implant companies’ dominance in medicine.
Young and Remote Doctors: Those facing limited earning prospects. - Decentralization: Employing a web 3.0 model where multiple doctors offer independent opinions, with the most frequent perspective prevailing. Users pay a nominal fee for these insights, distributed among winning doctors.
- AI Integration: Utilizing AI to match patient queries with symptoms and medical histories, ensuring faster responses based on prior cases. This will also help doctors generate more revenue per advisory provided while patients having to pay lower cost per consultation requested.
In conclusion, transcending the limitations of Google as a medical advisor necessitates a holistic approach. By fostering a community of doctors, dismantling biases, and integrating AI, a new paradigm for medical advisory emerges, enabling accessible, reliable, and impactful healthcare solutions for all.
