Playing our part in supporting cognitive burden in medicine via augmented intelligence: the role of RecoverX and BMJ
Clinicians today face a myriad of challenges, with an ever increasing amount of knowledge that is impossible to stay on top of and apply; all alongside increasingly high cognitive workloads. At the same time, less than 20% of clinical practice guideline recommendations are based on high quality evidence. 46 The consequences of these challenges have a universal impact. The National Academy of Medicine’s (NAM) analysis suggests that every human being will experience a diagnostic error at some stage of their life, sometimes with harmful consequences 47 . The Institute of Medicine has suggested, for example, that low value care represents about one-third of all health care expenditures. 48 RecoverX 49 plans to bridge this knowledge and practice gap, solving critical cognitive challenges at the front end of healthcare by improving decision- making efficiency, reducing resource waste, and achieving better patient outcomes. They will do
this by developing evidence-based medicine (EBM) and augmented intelligence (AI) technologies to support and enrich clinicians’ decision making, with the clinician in control and the technology acting like a “co-pilot” for their cognitive support.
In 2021, the RecoverX team partnered with BMJ Best Practice to integrate our knowledge set into the RecoverX platform. Through this strategic partnership, we deliver continuous updates from BMJ Best Practice’s evidence-based dataset through integration with RecoverX, via RecoverX’s Computational Evidence technology and process.
RecoverX is engaging in production pilot deployments with evaluations of the product by practising clinicians in the United States of America. Through this deployment process, there is excitement in the medical community about the real possibility of transforming the way clinicians practice, moving from the currently overwhelmed human-based practice to an evidence-based, augmented intelligence-empowered future.
From everything I’ve seen as an early user of the RecoverX platform, I’m tremendously excited about the way it brings relevant, evidence based clinical diagnostic information in real time to my practice of medicine and the potential it has to significantly enhance my diagnostic decisions.” Dr Mark Savant, MD, Internal Medicine Doctor, San Francisco, CA
