AI: power to the patients and prevention (or not)?

2 minute read


Health Services Daily’s Canberra health leaders workshop and conference on 16-17 June will deep dive into the seismic disruption of the new patient-side AI agents in our health system.


Patient-side AI agents are already turning healthcare planning in the US and parts of Europe on its head, and it’s now landed in Australia, with the recent soft launch of ChatGPT Health, and the planned launch of Anthropic’s Claude Health in the next month or so.

Some key disruptive themes already emerging include:

  • Patient-side AI won’t be obeying any government or provider guidelines or governance – it’s just going to hit hard. Patients are flocking to the new agents and turning up at their providers with lots of questions and information, some good, some bad. How are we going to manage this?  
  • Patient-side AI agents look set to become the major digital front door for patients in Australia, making hundreds of current entry points potentially redundant within a few months. How will important sources of government guidance and information, like 1800MEDICARE be approaching this issue?
  • All of these changes are radically altering the opportunity to address prevention in Australia – how through riding both provider and patient-side AI in certain ways, government, private funders and providers can start much faster on prevention models where ROI can be mapped and made to happen.
