The software program works by looking at a patient's history. Phones that can scan your brain, deliver babies and treat heart attacks. Doctor Robot is live but still evolving and even boasts an online pharmacy no prior prescriptions needed. It treats patients based on their answers to a questionnaire.

The program is said to identify patients up to 6 years earlier than a human doctor would have. A lot of people might not realize it, but in fact artificial intelligence is already being used in medicine today.

The Different Ways AI is being used in Medicine  In a children's hospital in Boston, AI is being used to identify victims of abuse. A patient might for example live in a remote area with the nearest doctor 50. If there are certain red flags, like repeated injuries combined with depression, the system raises an alert.  The latest in the works now is a "doctor" attached to a phone. Robots that perform surgery and websites that prescribes drugs. It might sound like pleasant fiction, but in the future these all might be as commonplace as using a cell phone.

 On the web, a Russian doctor has launched a website, "Doctor Robot".
