Digital Health Talks: Before the Next Crisis On A Preventioneer's Framework

Before the Next Crisis: A Preventioneer's Framework for AI, Trust, and Healthcare Leadership Healthcare leaders know the pattern. Warning signs appear. Evidence accumulates. Institutions hesitate. And by the time action is taken, the cost, human and financial, is already enormous. Right now, that pattern is playing out across AI deployment, eroding public trust, and simultaneously weakening fragile health systems. On this episode of Digital Health Talks, physician-scientist and biostatistician Dr. Barry R. Davis brings a framework health leaders can actually use. Drawing on decades leading landmark prevention trials and his new book The Preventioneers: Diseases, Disasters, and the Discoveries That Changed Our World (Johns Hopkins University Press, May 2026), Dr. Davis breaks down why evidence alone rarely drives action, what trust has to do with it, and what the leaders who successfully broke the cycle actually did differently. If you are responsible for AI governance, patient trust, or building a prevention-first culture inside your health system, this conversation is for you.
