The Rise of DIY Healthcare[I] Healthcare is fast becoming a do-it-yourself project for patients. [II] The trend comes amid a shortage of doctors, long wait times for appointments and an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases earlier in adulthood. [III] In today's fast-evolving healthcare landscape, AI and other new technologies and services are emerging to help patients find and act on medical information. [IV] Lab testing companies have been expanding the range of tests they offer directly to consumers, making it easier for patients to identify conditions ranging from blood disorders to sexually transmitted diseases at home. Smartphones or smartwatches have become popular ways to track fitness activity, sleep quality or heart health, and other new devices can screen for sleep apnea, measure blood pressure without arm cuffs and detect early signs of illness. ChatGPT and other AI chatbots are also being adopted by patients and caregivers, who are using them to help diagnose symptoms, manage chronic diseases, get advice on exercise and nutrition, and research treatment for serious or rare diseases. The DIY health trend brings risks, such as relying on diagnostic and treatment information that hasn't been reviewed by a clinician, says Dr. Tom Delbanco, a professor at Harvard Medical School. There are also reliability concerns surrounding some at-home tests, and data privacy risks associated with wearables and chatbots that have access to sensitive medical information. Yet Delbanco sees significant benefits. "The evidence shows that the more a patient gets involved in their own care, the better the outcomes. In the future, primary-care doctors could act more as expert consultants rather than paternalistic bosses to patients.", said Dr. Tom Delbanco
