Why clinical AI tools require human physician oversight

FDA-cleared medical AI tools are designed as decision support software for physicians, not autonomous diagnostic replacements.

Patients have the right to discuss diagnostic findings directly with a licensed, board-certified physician.

The protocol

  1. Ask your healthcare provider if AI screening tools were used in analyzing your imaging or lab results.
  2. Politely request that a board-certified physician review the raw findings and discuss them with you.
  3. Obtain copies of your complete medical record and imaging files through the patient portal.
  4. Seek a formal human second opinion from an independent specialist if diagnostic doubts remain.

What the tool does
