  • No skips! Every episode is a necessary listen!

    Been following the show for over a year now and I’ve learned so much about the industry. John and David are master interviewers who always get to the heart of the story in 30 min or less. Going to be honest there are so many boring podcasts about health innovation— not this one! A total must-follow.

How AI Could Save a Collapsing Healthcare System w/ Dr. Robert Pearl, Author, "ChatGPT, MD"
Q: Do you see AI replacing clinicians, or changing their roles?
AI will not replace clinicians but will change their roles to be partners with empowered patients, handling routine tasks, and enabling clinicians to focus on high-value care and complex decision-making.
How AI Could Save a Collapsing Healthcare System w/ Dr. Robert Pearl, Author, "ChatGPT, MD"
Q: Why is medical education a bottleneck, and how should it adapt?
Academia moves slowly; training should focus on collaborations with AI and home-based care, teaching students to design workflows that keep people healthy and manage chronic disease outside traditional office visits.
How AI Could Save a Collapsing Healthcare System w/ Dr. Robert Pearl, Author, "ChatGPT, MD"
Q: How could AI change the patient experience in AI-enabled healthcare?
Patients would engage with AI-enabled tools before visits, receive personalized plans, and have continuous monitoring that informs timely clinician interventions, improving understanding and adherence.
How AI Could Save a Collapsing Healthcare System w/ Dr. Robert Pearl, Author, "ChatGPT, MD"
Q: What makes this a tipping point for AI in healthcare?
The guest argues that AI has matured to a level where it can augment decision-making, monitor patients continuously, and enable scalable, home-based care, which could address the chronic disease crisis and cost pressures if implemented with clinician leadership.
Why High-Acuity Care Is Moving Home w/ Lon Hecht, CEO, Care2U
Q: How do payers view this model and what value does it bring to hospitals and patients?
Payers are increasingly interested in home-based care as a way to reduce costly hospitalizations and readmissions, with benefits including lower costs, potential improvements in readmission penalties, and higher patient satisfaction; physicians and home health providers also refer patients to Care2U, creating a network effect.
