NY hospital exec: Multimodal LLM assistants will create a “paradigm shift” in patient care
NewYork-Presbyterian's Dr. Ashley Beecy said generative AI promises to be a paradigm change. Multimodal LLM technology can provide all-encompassing, proactive care, including insights from things like imaging, echocardiograms, and electrocardiograms.
