It's like, yeah, it can be like informational, but then you still have to go tell it, call a doctor.
Like I, my wife and I have done many times, call a doctor, explain everything that chat GPT said.
They're like, okay, you're probably right.
And they move you along.
And it's like, yeah, wouldn't it be phenomenal if I could have just talked to the AI and been able to go get the prescription and not have to pay someone and talk to someone because you know,
So, I mean, I think that the hack nowadays is like you get those Teladoc apps and it's way cheaper than having to go to a doctor and, you know, have to like schedule something.
Plus, like if you're sick with like the flu, you don't want to go to a doctor anyways or sick with something.
You don't want to have to go to a doctor and expose other people to the sickness.
So, I mean, honestly, I think this is a way better situation if you could do it.
Now, I think in practice, they're trying to operate like a full kind of like a medical practice.
They're not like, look, we're like a wellness app or something.
And they say that they hold licenses to operate in all 50 states.
They have malpractice insurance.
They run HIPAA compliant infrastructure and they have full access to all patient medical records.
So, I mean, they're really setting themselves up like an actual doctor's office.
I think the difference is that a lot of the frontline clinical work is going to be handled by this AI and it's essentially trained to ask the exact same questions and the same structure that your doctor would use during an intake.
So now for compliance and also just to make sure everything's super accurate, they do always have a human in the loop on all of these things.
They have board-certified physicians from Stanford University, Harvard University, University of San Francisco, and they're reviewing all of the final diagnoses, all of the prescriptions, and all of the lab requests before anything is actually issued to a patient, right?
So there's always a kind of a person that still puts a stamp on this.
But Lotus has built their own clinical reasoning model.
