The Fini Podcast: Why Data Fundamentals Beat Shiny AI in Healthcare | Eva Deckers

Eva Deckers spent nearly a decade leading design strategy at Philips before moving inside Catharina Hospital Eindhoven to lead AI transformation as Head of their AI Center of Excellence. In this episode, she explains why building data fundamentals matters more than chasing shiny AI tools, why using AI as "glue" between systems is an expensive mistake, and why the biggest impact in healthcare comes from redesigning care pathways, not adding technology. Plus: how to build trust in AI when the cost of getting it wrong is life or death, why nobody in healthcare talks about AI drift yet, and her take on patients using ChatGPT to self-diagnose.
