Verity Healthcare

The U.S. inventory market, particularly the tech-heavy NASDAQ, was deeply (no pun supposed) rattled by a Chinese language AI upstart referred to as DeepSeek on Monday. It seems to have completed a lot of what giant language fashions developed within the U.S. have however at a fraction of the price and with lower-grade know-how. Keep in mind how the U.S. restricts the sale of superior microchips to China citing safety causes.

The DeepSeek R1 mannequin is breaking the web, apparently.

So right here at MedCity Information, we determined to do a head-to-head check with DeepSeek and ChatGPT on a fundamental query: Why is healthcare so costly within the U.S.?”

The outcomes have been certainly fascinating:

• Each DeepSeek and ChatGPT had 10 contributing elements, however they weren’t all the identical. As an illustration, ChatGPT listed “Lack of Common Healthcare” as an element, whereas DeepSeek listed “Excessive Price of Medical Training” and “Variations in Pricing.”
• On the whole, DeepSeek was extra thorough even when it recognized the identical contributing issue to excessive prices than ChatGPT. As an illustration, let’s take the difficulty of administration of persistent illnesses. Right here, ChatGPT merely lists the excessive prevalence of diabetes, weight problems and coronary heart failure within the U.S. and their ongoing administration as a trigger for top healthcare prices in America. In the meantime, DeepSeek says the identical factor however provides that “way of life elements contribute to those circumstances” and the healthcare trade bears the price of their administration. So right here, one can infer that these illnesses could certainly be preventable, given they aren’t inherited.
• DeepSeek demonstrates information of current historical past whereas ChatGPT doesn’t. In its conclusion, the OpenAI-created GenAI instrument merely states that “systemic reform in pricing, regulation and within the construction of healthcare supply” is required to handle all the assorted elements it lists as contributing to excessive healthcare prices. In the meantime, DeepSeek cites the Reasonably priced Care Act and the way it tried addressing some points however that usually the difficulty of excessive healthcare prices stays “a fancy and politically charged problem.”
