Episode 135: Distilling Wisdom (ft. Dr. Jim Rice)

Artificial intelligence is reshaping nearly every aspect of our lives—but what if it could help detect dementia before symptoms appear?This week, we're honored to welcome Dr. Jim Rice to the Masonic Lounge for a fascinating conversation that explores the intersection of AI, healthy aging, neuroscience, and quantum computing. Together, we discuss how emerging technologies are helping researchers pursue earlier detection of cognitive decline and what that could mean for patients, families, and caregivers."At the heart of AI, it's doing deep dives into large amounts of data in order to extract and distill wisdom that can then be applied to do a better diagnosis of care and enhance collaboration between caregivers."Beyond technology, our conversation explores the importance of mentorship, the role of trust and transparency, and why every stage of life requires care, connection, and community.Dr. Jim Rice is an internationally recognized authority on healthcare policy, governance, and strategy development. He also served as the founding board chairman of Crescent Cove, helping establish one of the nation's leading pediatric palliative care homes.
