Dr. Spiegel directs the Cedars-Sinai Center for Outcomes Research and Education (CS-CORE), a multidisciplinary team that investigates how digital health technologies, including wearable biosensors, smartphone applications, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence, can strengthen the patient-doctor bond, improve outcomes and save money. His work has helped to support a new field of medicine called Medical Extended Reality, or “MXR” in which doctors use immersive technologies like VR to help treat conditions ranging from pain to anxiety and depression, to irritable bowel syndrome. His research team has received funding from the National Institutes of Health, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Hearst Foundation, State of California Precision Medicine Program, PCORI, Veterans
Administration and industry sources for work examining digital technologies and AI in medicine.
Doctors who use AI will probably replace doctors who don’t. I think that’s fair at this point to say.
