Did you discuss any of the same/similar uses of AI in healthcare in Preview, Part 2? If so,
which ones?

PART 3 Choose the words Dr. Topol uses in his quotes below. (4:40 - end)

“ All these things favor this shift of reliance on a patient's bedroom, rather than the hospital room. We're
talking about a whole lot of people that don't need to be employed in the hospital setting; that is a great
way to reduce the bargain / burden in the future. In the United States a hospital costs $5,000 a
night, so you could get a lot of data / day-to-day plans that would go for years for that cost.

If the clinical community stands / stays up for patients and, say, all the power, efficiency,
productivity, workflow / work fold from AI is going to be used to give the gift of time to doctors
and nurses and patients, that's where we flick / flip this thing and achieve a rescue mission for
healthcare."
