America faces a shortage of primary care doctors- and they’re drowning in work. Here’s how AI can solve the physician burnout crisis.

The United States could save $67 billion each year in health care costs if every person used a primary care provider as their main source of care, according to one estimate. Yet 30% of Americans don’t have a primary care doctor due to a shortage of providers, National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC). The Association of American Medical Colleges projects we’ll be short as many as 124,000 physicians by 2034, more than a third of them primary care providers. According to a recent survey from Athenahealth, 80% of physicians already report talent shortages within their practices.
