"Know Hospital" Launches

[Darryl]

Built on the premise of seamless, proactive care, Know Hospital harnesses vast sets of public and private biometric data to deliver real-time insights into individuals’ health—without the need for traditional office visits or lengthy check-ins.

This is an interesting concept and I can see where advanced metrics, processed through AI, can be a powerful diagnostic and predictive tool. I also regard this with deep skepticism.

Even if KnowHospital is 100% accurate, I am concerned about how the data is mined behind the scenes, even if there is a privacy policy in existence, that policy can be changed or cancelled by any organization that inherits this product through a merger or takeover.

Also, it lacks the human touch. Not that any of my doctors are warm and fuzzy, but I so very much needed the kindness and compassion of people in the medical community as I went through treatment, as I was advised as to what the future held. During treatment I often felt as if I was on a conveyer belt, moved along to the next practitioner to do their part detailed in my plan of care. It was dehumanizing. It meant so much to me when a PA or doctor actually looked into my eyes and connected with me. AI promises a future that is more efficient, more economical partly because it eliminates all those pesky humans we have to pay.

It's soul sucking. Now I can stay at home, use AI to guide me through my cancer experience and interact with no one until I show up at the hospital to be cut up by robotic arms or have my flesh burned with invisible rays emanating from radiation equipment.

I just feel more and more unseen, having fewer opportunities to tell a real person how I feel, to see it impact them. Now I can get analyzed down to the cellular level, judged by every behavior I have exhibited and out pops a generic script telling me what's wrong with me, what I have done wrong, what my next options are.

I can do this all alone, nobody else in sight.
