Artificial Intelligence in Medicine








From: E. H. Shortliffe: 1976, /Computer-based Medical Consultation: MYCIN/, New. York: Elsevier. Page 1.

In the late 1960's, David Rutstein wrote a monograph entitled The Coming Revolution in Medicine [Rutstein, 1967].  His discussion was based on an analysis of several serious problems for the health professions:

1) Modern medicine's skyrocketing costs;
2) the chaos of an information explosion involving both paperwork proliferation and large amounts of new knowledge that no single physician could hope to digest;
3) a geographical maldistribution of MD's;
4) increasing demands on the physician's time as increasing numbers of individuals began to demand quality medical care.
