A Better Health History for the Next Doctor’s Visit April 2025 2025-04-30 News 12 NY

The next doctor’s appointment can start with a clearer picture of the past. On News 12 NY, Matt Britton describes using a customized AI health assistant to organize 20 years of records, including X-rays, MRIs and bloodwork.
His example focuses on personalization. A general symptom search draws on broad information; an assistant working with an individual’s records can help organize that history and prepare summaries for a specialist to review.
Matt uses the example to discuss AI’s possible role in clinical decision-making. The conversation covers time pressure, fatigue and the challenge of reviewing large volumes of information consistently.
Radiology provides one area of discussion. Matt references research comparing AI and human interpretation of medical images, including the potential to identify abnormalities and reduce missed findings.
The segment also considers robotic-assisted surgery and possible uses for AI in planning, risk assessment and guidance during procedures.
The focus remains on supporting physicians with more organized information and analytical assistance. Matt’s example gives the conversation a practical starting point: a health history that is easier to review, and a better-informed discussion with the clinician.
