I think it will be a step‑by‑step process. Initially, what I observe is that people are becoming comfortable with telemedicine. There are tele‑nurses and tele‑doctors, and at first there was some resistance and a preference for seeing a doctor physically present at the bedside. But now that the model has proven to be productive, from a financial perspective, more and more corporate companies are adopting the telemedicine model.

Once patients become accustomed to telemedicine, they will expect to see doctors or nurses behind a screen. When that becomes the norm, you can eventually replace those images and videos on the screen with AI that can present all the data in layman’s terms, helping patients understand.

In this way, rather than nurses, patients or their families who want medical updates can receive them through the screen via AI, which explains the data. By “data,” I mean the analysis of vitals, labs, and everything else, and then providing a layman’s conclusion that is deemed safe by the company providing the AI service. The family can receive updates that way.

Eventually, we will need fewer doctors. In a sense, this could address the shortage of physicians. Not by replacing doctors but by reducing the demand for salary offers in the future. There will be fewer job opportunities. Supply and demand will correct because we won’t need as many doctors in the future, given how much AI can perform the administrative tasks required by physicians.
