Decoding health in the age of AI
Hosted by an AI researcher and a medical doctor, this podcast unpacks how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are transforming how we understand, measure, and care for our bodies and minds.
Each episode unpacks a real-world topic to ask not just what’s new, but what’s true—and what’s at stake as healthcare becomes increasingly data-driven.
If you're curious about how health tech really works—and what it means for your body, your choices, and your future—this podcast is for you.
We’re here to explore ideas—not to diagnose or treat. This podcast doesn’t provide medical advice.
