STAT+: How Stanford patients help expose ‘fault lines’ in health AI adoption
At Stanford University, it’s easy to get carried away with technology. The computer mouse was invented there. So was Google. And now, it’s pumping out a myriad of tools for artificial intelligence in health care.
But for the last year and a half, Stanford’s hospital has been asking patients about new AI tools before they roll them out.
Eric Gries is one of those people, handpicked by Stanford as part of a “patient panel.” Gries was the caregiver for his wife while she was first on a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), then had a heart transplant. He later became the temporary caregiver for his brother-in-law when he also had a heart transplant.
