What innovative approach does Lotus Health AI bring to healthcare?
Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer.
How is ChatGPT currently being utilized in healthcare settings?
Today on the podcast, I wanna talk about a company called Lotus Health, which has just raised $35 million. And they have this thing where essentially this AI doctor is going to be seeing patients. It's doing it for free.
What is the vision behind Lotus Health AI and its AI doctor?
It's kind of going viral on X for a bunch of different reasons. So today on the podcast, I wanna break down what they're gonna be doing. Is this the future of AI in healthcare?
How does Lotus Health AI's operational model ensure compliance?
Is this actually something that's going to get a lot of usage, and kind of where are people at with using AI for healthcare today? So we're gonna get into all of that on the podcast today. Before we do, I wanted to mention, if you've ever wanted to build an AI tool and you're not a developer like myself, I'm not a developer, I created AIbox.ai, my own startup, where you can explain any tool or workflow you wanna create, anything that you do on a repeated basis, and our tool can link together multiple AI models, input multiple prompts, and create a tool that you can use to repeat that process over and over again. In addition, just like ChatGPT, we have a chat interface where you get access to over 40 of the top AI models, everything from Google, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, 11 Labs for audio, tons of cool image models.
All of it's on there for 20 bucks a month, and you can chat with all of them in the same thread.
What regulatory hurdles does Lotus Health AI face?
So you can switch between Anthropic for tone and OpenAI for research in the same thread and it's $20 a month. So I'll leave a link to that down in the description if you want to try that out. I hope that saves you a ton of money not having to switch between different subscriptions and also a ton of time having everything in one central hub. All right, let's get into the episode. So the thing that I think is important to kind of preface all of this by saying is that today we have like a growing amount of people, tons, that are already going to things like ChatGPT and Anthropic and basically using those as a first stop for everything that you're doing, especially in health, if you're gonna be doing checking for symptoms, if you have medication questions.
I know for myself, when my kids are sick, I don't go to WebMD like I used to.
How does Lotus Health AI plan to transform patient experiences?
Also, I just feel like WebMD always would tell me that either there's no problem or I was gonna die of cancer if I didn't immediately go to the emergency. And so I just feel like it was sometimes if you just put in whatever your issues were, WebMD had some pretty extreme responses.
ChatGPT seems to be doing a really great job with that. And I think what a lot of people find is that these aren't doctors, ChatGPT is not a doctor, but it can have really really impressive medical context. It asks really impressive smart follow-up questions. And I think it also helps the user, like if you're using it, it helps you articulate and say what your concerns are going to be. And some of these things, which I thought was an interesting point I was talking to someone recently about, and they're like, sometimes when you're using ChatGPT and it has kind of these follow-up questions, if you had like a really rushed appointment at the doctor, you might have missed some of some asking some of these questions some of your concerns and so you could get all of that out to chat gpt there's been a ton of really interesting cases where people have been seeing specialists for many many years couldn't diagnose or figure out what their issue were and they went to chat gpt listed out just everything had a conversation and it finds kind of these specialized um diagnoses which
What are the potential challenges of AI in primary care?
ended up being correct so it is a fantastic tool i think this is a really big behavioral shift um and because of all of this kj dewally is trying to build this new company lotus health so he like his background is that he initially sold um a dating app called d-mail this is kind of a south asian dating app he sold back in 2019 for 50 million dollars And after that, his interest in healthcare, he said, is something that he's kind of always been curious about.
