The world of medicine is a whirlwind of patients, paperwork, and complex decisions. Luckily, artificial intelligence (AI) is stepping up to be a doctor's not-so-secret weapon. While AI isn't replacing doctors anytime soon, it's offering a suite of helpful tools to streamline workflows and improve patient care.

"AI will not replace doctors, but doctors using AI will replace doctors not using AI"


Edge copilot AI

Microsoft Edge Copilot is a built-in AI assistant that can boost your productivity while you browse the web.  It resides in a sidebar within the browser, so you don't need to switch between apps to leverage its capabilities. Copilot shines in its ability to understand your browsing context.  This allows you to ask questions directly related to the webpage you're on, saving you time from researching elsewhere.  Additionally, Copilot can generate different creative text formats,  like emails and social media posts, all within the Edge browser.  This streamlined approach to web browsing and content creation can significantly enhance your efficiency.

Edge Copilot offers some key advantages over ChatGPT when it comes to web browsing and content creation:

  • Contextual Awareness:  Edge Copilot excels at understanding the webpage you're currently on. You can ask questions directly related to the content,  like "summarize this article" or "find a different perspective on this topic," without needing to navigate away or rephrase your query. ChatGPT, while powerful, lacks this level of context-specific interaction with web content.

  • Streamlined Workflow:  Copilot lives within the Edge browser itself. This means you can generate different creative text formats, like emails and social media posts, directly from the webpage you're referencing. No need to switch between apps or copy and paste information. ChatGPT, while offering content generation, operates as a separate platform.

  • It can generate images while ChatGPT cannot.

Writing compelling prompts

Crafting an effective AI prompt requires a balance of clarity and detail. First, identify your desired outcome – are you seeking creative text formats, factual answers, or problem-solving assistance?  Then, provide context to guide the AI.  This could involve specifying the target audience, desired tone (formal, informal, humorous), or even referencing examples of similar outputs you find appealing.  The more details you provide about the task, format, and desired style, the better the AI can tailor its response to your specific needs.  Think of it as providing a clear roadmap for the AI to follow, allowing it to leverage its capabilities and deliver an output that aligns perfectly with your vision.

The same is applicable for writing emails and essays.


Google Gemini AI

Google Gemini holds an edge over ChatGPT in its versatility and real-time access to information. While both can generate text and translate languages, Gemini's strength lies in its ability to seamlessly integrate web searches and data analysis within its responses. This means you can ask Gemini a question about a topic you're browsing online, and it can not only provide a creative response, but also analyze real-time data to support its answer. This deeper understanding of the web and current events makes Gemini a more well-rounded and informative AI companion for research and creative tasks.

AI as Your Medical Scribe:

Imagine composing a detailed patient email summarizing test results or treatment plans in a flash. Enter ChatGPT, a large language model that can generate human-quality text. Doctors can leverage this to draft personalized emails, explaining complex medical jargon in clear and concise language. This not only saves time but also fosters better patient understanding and adherence to treatment plans.


AI for Enhanced Visuals:

Need a quick and informative infographic for patient education? Look no further than AI tools like Edge Co-pilot. These AI assistants can scour the internet for relevant images and data, creating compelling visuals to enhance presentations or patient materials. Imagine explaining a complex medical procedure with a clear and concise infographic – AI can help make it a reality, improving patient education and reducing cognitive load.


A Word of Caution:

While AI offers a helping hand, it's crucial to remember its limitations. AI-generated content, like ChatGPT emails, should always be reviewed and edited by a doctor before sending.  Similarly, AI-created visuals might require adjustments for accuracy.  It's important to maintain a healthy dose of scepticism and ensure the information being presented aligns with medical expertise.


Although free versions of ChatGPT, and Gemini have their limitations, it does offer a wide range of services.

You can try their premium services as trial for a period of 2 months.


The Future of AI in Medicine:

The world of AI in medicine is rapidly evolving, extending far beyond streamlining administrative tasks. AI is being used to analyze vast datasets of medical records, imaging scans, and genetic information. This analysis is uncovering hidden patterns and paving the way for personalized medicine.  Doctors can use this information to tailor treatment plans to an individual's unique genetic makeup and medical history, leading to more effective and targeted interventions.  AI algorithms are even aiding in drug discovery and development, offering a glimpse into a future with more targeted and effective treatments.

Remember, AI is a powerful tool, but it's the doctor's expertise that makes the final call. With AI as their wingman, doctors can focus on what they do best: providing exceptional patient care, armed with the latest tools and insights to improve patient outcomes.
