Medical workers in a Nairobi clinic used an AI tool to check their work. Then a yellow box pops up on her computer telling her to check his heart, because his heart rate is elevated. Njeri is a registered clinical officer in Nairobi, Kenya, she sees patients on her own like a nurse practitioner. "That child would have just gone home." She credits an AI tool that double checks her work for helping her. The tool, called AI Consult, was tested in a randomized trial of nearly 10,000 patient encounters across 16 Kenyan primary clinics operated by Penda Health. And the results were published this summer in Nature Medicine. Half the clinical officers typed their notes into a computer with OpenAI's GPT-4o checking their electronic notes in the background.
