Artificial intelligence (AI) in family medicine

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare.

Artificial intelligence offers promising solutions to reduce administrative burdens for family physicians. This evolving technology could enable family physicians to spend more time doing what they do best: taking care of patients.


Research on AI in primary care

Recognizing the potential for these technologies to improve primary care, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is collaborating with Rock Health to explore and accelerate the application of AI and digital health tools by identifying opportunities that can transform clinical practice, enhance the operations of primary care practices and improve outcomes.

AAFP and Rock Health hold a panel to discuss AI in family medicine at the Starfield Summit
