If you can teach your AI Chatbot not to medically gaslight women — you’ll win.

An entire cohort of patients so desperate for care they’d rather risk misinformation, fear, and alarm if it means hearing the first voice that looks at their symptoms without bias—and actually takes them seriously.
As the author of the best-selling book, MEDICAL GASLIGHTING, I’m pro any tool that makes a diagnosis easier and more accessible to patients who are dismissed, traumatized, uninsured, or stuck in medical deserts where specialist care is delayed, inadequate, or nonexistent.
I’ve spent the last several months speaking with CEOs and founders of AI-enabled patient tools, and I’m excited to collaborate with the ones who are actually solving problems—and to help patients learn how to advocate for themselves, reduce strain on caregivers, and better understand and navigate their own medical records.
But let’s be honest about the tradeoff: yes, AI might get something wrong and cause panic over an ambiguous result—but panic leads to action, to questions, to follow-up. Being dismissed leads nowhere. And women are far more at risk of having a diagnosis minimized or ignored than they are of being temporarily scared by something unclear.
We are already working with an imperfect system. But we are closer than ever before to seeing medical bias reduced and potentially eliminated.
It’s time to ask yourself: would I rather meet the ambiguous blood test result I saw before the provider in the woods—or the doctor who gave me a once-over and decided it’s probably just anxiety?
