#36 Part 2: Health Systems, Clinicians, & the Consumer Health Era

Patients are no longer walking into the clinic with just symptoms. They're arriving with wearable data, lab results, GLP-1 prescriptions, peptide protocols, and AI-generated health advice already shaping how they think about their care. What does that mean for the clinicians meeting them on the other side of the exam room?David Kessler, MD, MSc (Vice Chair of Innovation and Professor of Pediatrics in Emergency Medicine, Columbia University), George Matthew, MD, MBA, FACP (Chief Medical Officer, Times AI Health), and Peter Rezkalla, MD (Pediatrician & Founder, Doctor Disney) join moderators Aakash Saraiya (Emergency Medicine Physician, Investor & Co-Chair, NXGN) and Athena Yao (Biotech Operator & Co-Chair, NXGN) for a conversation on how medicine is evolving as patients become more informed, data-driven, and technology-enabled.The conversation explores how patient-physician interactions are changing in an era of unlimited online health information, what makes patient-generated health data truly valuable, the rise of longevity and optimization culture, and how clinicians are adapting to patients who increasingly arrive informed, empowered, and expecting to play a more active role in their care.Recorded live during Scalpels & Spreadsheets' Healthtech Week during NY Tech Week.
