Is AI moving too fast to prove it’s safe? With Paul Wicks- Founder of Proofstack

from Digital Health Podcast- Royal Society of Medicine · host RSM Digital Health Council

What happens when the timescales of rigorous evidence are fundamentally incompatible with the speed of health technology? In this episode, we're joined by Paul Wicks-research neuropsychologist, former BMJ editorial board member, and independent evidence strategist- to explore one of health tech's most pressing unsolved problems. We discuss why the traditional publishing system is struggling to keep pace with AI, how companies are navigating and sometimes circumventing the evidence landscape, and what a more strategic approach to research actually looks like in practice. We also ask the bigger question: does evidence generation in health tech need to be redesigned from the ground up, and if so, who should be leading that conversation?
