AI cannot replace the clinician patient interface ! We were convinced by an excellent argument from @AMahajanMD @movedisorder
More meticulous clinicians, not bigger data —the winning argument on the debate on whether AI will replace neurologists: NO. AI can assist in diagnosis but not in replacing neurological care. A friendly exchange between @RayDorseyNeuro and @AMahajanMD #MDSCongress
