Will AI Replace Doctors—or Restore Medicine?
Can artificial intelligence help restore the art of medicine?
Talk at Yale School of Medicine on Saturday October 3, 2026
In this talk at Yale School of Medicine, Richard Low, MD, founder of Praxis EMR and a Yale alumnus, explores what AI must understand beyond the words spoken in an examination room: the physician’s reasoning, experience, and knowledge of the patient. Drawing on a lifetime in medicine and technology, he presents a vision of AI that adapts to the physician’s mind, reduces the burden of documentation, and gives doctors more freedom to think, connect, and care.

Putting These Ideas Into Practice
For more than three decades, we've been exploring a fundamental question:
What if medical software could adapt to the way physicians think, rather than forcing physicians to adapt to software?
That question gave rise to Praxis EMR and continues to guide its evolution, including our work in artificial intelligence.
