OpenEvidence was founded in 2022. In just 3 short years, it has become a household name amongst aspiring and established healthcare providers. AI-based tools are now being used to augment workflows, improve productivity, streamline busy work, and assist with clinical decision making. Is AI coming for our jobs? Time will tell. But in the meantime, you can (and probably should) use it to enhance yours. In this episode of BackTable, computer scientist and interventional radiologist Dr. Emil Cohen joins Dr. Chris Beck to share how he’s integrated AI tools into his IR practice.
