Summary

  • NYU Langone Health has developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based personalised medical education system for use by medical students and residents.
  • Every evening the software accesses the electronically held health records of patients treated by the facility at its hospitals and outpatient departments the previous day.
  • It matches the records against a database of medical conditions and treatments, and against published medical research.
  • The following morning, residents and students receive an email with tailored information, suggestions and background reading relevant to their work the previous day.
  • The system forms part of NYU Langone’s “precision medical education” model, which uses AI and data to provide personalised education resources for students.
