AI in Haematology
Physician-complementing artificial intelligence in haematology: ushering in a new era
The article discusses the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in haematology, expanding from pattern recognition to assisting in diagnosis, prognosis, therapy decisions, and drug prescribing. It advocates for 'physician-complementing AI' over 'physician-substituting AI', arguing that AI should empower skilled physicians to enhance performance and push the boundaries of patient care. Key applications include precision medicine, multi-covariate decision-making, and integrating patient preferences, all aimed at elevating healthcare standards and optimizing outcomes.

Defining AI Roles: Complementing vs. Substituting
| Feature | Physician-Substituting AI | Physician-Complementing AI |
|---|---|---|
| Core Goal | Raise basic healthcare quality, reduce skill gap. | Push performance frontier, empower skilled practitioners. |
| Impact on Skilled Physicians | Increases performance from 70 to 80 (smaller gain). | Increases performance from 70 to 90 (larger gain), amplifies advantage. |
| Impact on Less-Skilled Physicians | Increases performance from 50 to 70 (larger gain), reduces skill gap. | Increases performance from 50 to 60 (smaller gain). |
| Resource Context | Beneficial in resource-constrained areas with skill shortages. | Drives innovation and excellence in all contexts. |

AI's Capability in Complex Multi-Covariate Decision Making
0 Dynamic Clinical Covariates Monitored by AI for GVHD PreventionReference: [3] – AI enables consideration of a 'much greater number' of variables than humans can consciously process, as seen in a prospective trial for preventing grade III-IV acute GVHD.
Streamlining Patient Preference-Sensitive Decision-Making with AI
Identify Patient Preferences (AI-assisted structured conversation & EMR review)
→
Prioritize Therapy Options (AI ranks options beyond PFS/survival based on preferences)
→
Physician Ratification (Haematologist reviews & ratifies AI-recommended prescriptions)
Reference: AI assists in the two steps of patient preference-sensitive decision-making, moving beyond expert consensus on PFS/survival to incorporate individual patient values.
Ambient AI: Reclaiming Physician Time with Ambient Documentation AI
Ambient documentation technology allows haematologists to offload non-patient-facing tasks like EMR documentation, laboratory test ordering, and drug prescribing. This frees up physicians, especially those with strong empathetic skills, to increase direct patient interaction, thereby improving care quality and reducing professional burnout.
Impact: Enables haematologists to focus on higher-value patient engagement and complex decision-making, rather than administrative burdens.
Reference: Refers to [8, 9] for ambient documentation technology's role in alleviating the burden of clinical documentation.
