~795,000
deaths or permanent disabilities a year
What the research found
Johns Hopkins research estimates about 795,000 Americans a year die or are permanently disabled because of diagnostic error (371,000 deaths; 424,000 disabilities) — the enormous problem AI is meant to help solve.
Why it matters for providers
The upside of getting AI right is real and huge, which is precisely why getting the deployment wrong is so costly. Balance, not opposition.
