Entrepreneurship Episodes

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Hugh Barragan, a technologist and CTO based out of Boston, Dr. Chris Page, an anesthesiologist and pain medicine physician, and Dr. Akash Soraya, an emergency medicine physician and angel investor, to tackle one of the most pressing questions in medicine today: has technology made healthcare better or worse? We dive deep into the promise and peril of AI, examining whether electronic medical records have been a net positive despite their frustrations, and what the future holds when AI can diagnose faster and more accurately than any physician. The conversation gets real as we discuss whether AI will replace doctors, who takes accountability when algorithms make mistakes, and whether patients will even care if they are talking to a human or a machine.We explore the uncomfortable truths about healthcare costs, the gamification of billing, and why technology has not moved the needle on life expectancy despite massive investments.

In my conversation with Dr. Neil Naik, a family physician from Waterloo with a strong interest in tech, we explored the exciting future of healthcare. He shared his journey and his belief in AI's power to personalize medicine in ways we haven't seen before. We discussed AI's potential in surgery and mental health, and also tackled the complex ethics of AI consciousness and rights. Dr. Naik highlighted the real-world hurdles of regulations and payment models for AI in healthcare. What was particularly fascinating was his perspective on how AI might see medical patterns we can't, potentially leading to new ways of diagnosing illnesses. Overall, our chat painted a picture of a future where technology and human doctors work together to create a more tailored and effective healthcare experience.
