In this special episode of the Digital Public Health Podcast, Christoph Wellbrock turns the tables: for once, host Rasmus Cloes takes a seat in the guest chair. After around 50 conversations with researchers, startup founders, doctors, nurses, and data scientists, he takes stock—and sorts out what really remains of the grand promise of AI in healthcare.
In this episode:
- AI in nursing and medical practices—how artificial intelligence automates documentation and gives nurses more time for people#
- Health data, electronic health records (EHRs), and the European Health Data Space (EHDS)—why “more data” alone isn’t enough
- AI-assisted diagnostics—can an algorithm detect diseases earlier than a doctor?
- Prevention and digital health apps—from skin cancer detection to early outbreak detection for infectious diseases
- Personalized health information instead of Google searches – how AI makes a difference
- When “AI” on a product is truly AI – and when it’s just marketing
Questions this episode answers:
- How can AI help alleviate the doctor shortage and nursing crisis?
- What does “garbage in, garbage out” mean for the medicine of the future?
- Could AI stop the next pandemic sooner?
- Does digital health technology make us more dependent – or does it give us more time for each other?
This episode is for anyone who takes health seriously: whether you’re a patient, a healthcare professional, someone interested in digital health, or a researcher.
