AI in Primary Care Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. What made IDx-DR, authorized by the FDA in 2018, notable for primary care?
   • It was the first AI to prescribe diabetes medication
   • It could decide on eye specialist referral from retinal photos without a clinician reading the image
   • It replaced the need for retinal cameras in clinics
   • It diagnosed heart failure from blood tests
2. Why is screening for diabetic eye disease inside the primary care office valuable?
   • Eye specialists refuse to see patients with diabetes
   • Retinal photos cannot be taken anywhere else
   • Many people with diabetes never attend separate eye appointments
   • It removes the need for blood sugar monitoring
3. In the Mayo Clinic work described in the guide, what did an AI detect from an ordinary 12-lead ECG?
   • Likely low ejection fraction, meaning weak heart pumping
   • Early diabetic retinopathy
   • Lung cancer nodules
   • Bone density loss
4. Who is responsible for the content of a note drafted by an ambient scribe?
   • The software vendor
   • The patient, who consented to recording
   • No one, because the note is automated
   • The clinician who reviews and signs it
5. How can a single misheard word become a clinical error in an ambient scribe?
   • The model deletes the audio before transcription
   • Speech recognition errors pass into the language model, which writes them confidently into the plan
   • The note is sent to the pharmacy without any template
   • Diarization adds extra patients to the record
6. What was the flaw in the risk algorithm described in the 2019 Science study?
   • It used healthcare cost as a stand-in for health need, underestimating the illness of Black patients
   • It was trained only on children
   • It ignored all laboratory results
   • It ran too slowly for daily use
7. What happened to Babylon Health, the company the guide mentions in the triage section?
   • It became the standard NHS triage tool
   • It was acquired to build ambient scribes
   • It collapsed in 2023 after promoting an AI triage chatbot
   • It received FDA authorization for autonomous diagnosis
8. According to the guide, what mostly determines the real value of a primary care AI tool?
   • The size of the underlying language model
   • Whether the tool has a chat interface
   • Whether it replaces the GP entirely
   • Whether a human acts on its output and the practice changes its workflow
