Will the Doctor Remain Central to Care in the Next Generation of Health Systems? On Presence, Partnership and Things No Algorithm Can Manufacture
- 1The University of Buckingham Buckingham UK
Abstract
Healthcare systems are undergoing swift transformations driven by rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and digital health, due to which the role of a doctor is being reshaped. This essay explores whether doctors will remain central to care in the next generation while drawing on examples from different healthcare systems and the experiences of an individual patient. It argues that while technology could reshape the delivery of care, the doctor's role remains essential.
