How Information Technology and Medical Studies are Converging

The intersection of technology and medicine is reshaping education and clinical practice. Dr. Colleen Donovan incorporates AR technology, simulating procedures with advanced manikins, and innovative activities inspired by unconventional sources to engage medical learners. However, technological integration presents challenges in validating its clinical relevance and teaching methodologies. Dr. Charles Binkley anticipates AI's role in summarizing patient data and constructing digital twins for personalized medicine, yet underscores the need for ethical considerations and understanding AI limitations. While digital twins offer promising medical insights, issues of equity, data privacy, and environmental impact must be addressed preemptively in this evolving convergence.
