Universal Healthcare

Universal healthcare is a doctor that:

  • you can speak with 24/7, is infinitely patient, and never rushes you

  • has access to all of the latest medical knowledge and literature

  • has a superb bedside manner

  • can communicate with you however and whenever you want: text, voice, or video

  • knows all about your medical history and doesn't have to ask you the same question twice

  • has memorized the results of all the medical tests you've had

  • focuses on keeping you healthy and proactively checks in on you

  • has breadth and depth - it can be your primary care physician and a specialist

  • can create a personalized wellness plan that's unique to you and help you stick to it

  • is free to interact with or as close to free as possible

This is universal healthcare, and it's around the corner. It will be available to everyone.

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini are already better at diagnosing conditions than most doctors. They have better bedside manners, too.

They and Consensus are the doctors I turn to first when I have a medical question for myself or my family.

I feed the results of my lipid panels to them and ask them what I should do to improve my biomarkers, and I get answers that are just as good as those of doctors I know and trust.

The foundational models already have the wisdom and wherewithal to deliver personalized healthcare to everyone with an internet connection. They just need a friendly wrapper and trusted UX (likely one that is heavy on voice). It's time to make it so.
