"This pioneering study marks the first comprehensive examination of AI's performance versus physicians in real-life cases as opposed to text book vignettes. The outcomes are incredibly promising, showcasing K Health's AI potential to be on par with a doctor's capabilities. Beyond its high accuracy, this AI stands out for its absence of hallucinations, errors and impartiality across demographics. Similar to a physician, K's AI evolves through data assimilation, ensuring constant enhancements, and raising the accuracy bar across diverse conditions," shared Zeltzer.
The average medical chat between K’s AI and patients takes 5 minutes and consists of 25 medical questions, 6 positive symptoms, and 2.5 potential diagnoses. K has integrated this into a clinical platform that covers the 48 continental states around the clock and assists doctors in diagnosing and treating patients based on this information and any additional information they collect. This significantly decreases the time doctors need to make high-quality medical decisions and allows the millions of patients who have used K to get high-quality diagnoses and treatment, including prescriptions, specialty referrals, labs and tests.
