Episode 255: AI and Healthcare: A Patient and a Caregiver Perspective

Journalist Erin O’Hearn joins Chadi to share her deeply personal story as both a patient and a caregiver navigating the healthcare system for more than two decades. Drawing from her lived experiences, Erin reflects on how today’s advances in artificial intelligence could have supported her journey—easing the emotional and logistical burdens of care while improving communication and empathy between patients and providers. She offers a thoughtful and forward-looking take on the MAHA movement, as well as explores how AI should be used to enhance time spent with patients, foster genuine human-to-human connection, and help clinicians care for themselves as well as those they serve.Check out Chadi’s website for all Healthcare Unfiltered episodes and other content. www.chadinabhan.com/Watch all Healthcare Unfiltered episodes on YouTube. www.youtube.com/channel/UCjiJPTpIJdIiukcq0UaMFsA
