S1, E41 - Hugo Campos: Patient-Directed AI

from Practical AI in Healthcare · host Steven Labkoff, MD and Leon Rozenblit, JD, PhD

Patient advocate Hugo Campos spent more than a decade fighting for access to the data from his own implanted defibrillator. When the system wouldn't budge, he stopped trying to reform it and started building around it. In this episode, Hugo shows how he used agentic AI coding tools to create OpenKP, an open-source app that liberates his records from inside Kaiser Permanente, despite calling himself a non-coder. He and the hosts unpack the line between institutional AI and patient-directed AI, the discipline of having two AIs check each other, and why he believes "critical AI health literacy" now matters more than knowing how to code.https://practicalaiinhealthcare.com/
