#453: Why "can AI replace doctors?" is the wrong question. Shravan Nageswaran, Atman Labs

from The Healthtech Podcast · host Dr. James Somauroo

This week, James is joined by Shravan Nageswaran, co-founder and CEO of Atman Labs, the London applied-AI research company building diagnostic AI that reasons like a doctor — without relying on large language models. They dig into why LLMs fall short on real clinical reasoning, what "safety" actually means when a system takes a patient history, and how reinforcement learning over a medical knowledge graph could reshape primary care. A genuinely different take on the "can AI be a doctor?" question.Connect with Shravan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shravan-nageswaran-8961801a1Learn more about Atman Labs: https://atmanlabs.aiApply to be a guest: www.thehealthtechpodcast.comSubscribe to Healthtech Pigeon 🐦: www.healthtechpigeon.comGet in touch with James: www.jamessomauroo.comThis podcast was brought to you by SomX.
