NextMed Health in a healthtech and biotech conference exploring the most forward thinking ideas and topics in healthcare. Taking place in San Diego, a four day programme covered topics such as latest developments in AI, aging, increasing lifespan and longevity, addressing mental health and exercise through VR, and more. In this special episode of Faces of digital health, Gary Monk and Tjasa Zajc reflect on the key findings through additional discussions with: Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, Founder, AIMed. Chief Intelligence & Innovation Office, Children's Hospital of Orange County  Daniel Kraft, MD,  Founder & Chair, NextMed Health. Bayo Curry-Winchell, MD, Founder, Beyond Clinical Walls. Urgent Care Medical Director, Saint Mary's Health Network Steven Brown, AI developer, Coder, founder, investor, filmmaker Jennifer Garrison, PhD, Professor, Buck Institute. Co-Founder & Director, ProductiveHealth.org Eric Topol, MD,  Founder and Director, Scripps Research Translational Institute What's covered: 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 Case Study – Stephen Brown Custom AI Tool Development: Brown built his own AI-based application using various LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), emphasizing data cleaning, model cross-evaluation, and reliability testing. Anthony Chang: Claimed it will soon be unethical not to use AI in areas like radiology, where AI improves diagnostic accuracy. 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐈 𝐮𝐬𝐞: Lack of AI education among clinicians. Absence of AI strategies in hospitals—often even lacking data governance. Misaligned financial incentives across stakeholders. Bias and Representation 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 & 𝐎𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Ovaries Beyond Reproduction: ovaries regulate broader systemic health via signaling pathways (like “Wi-Fi”), impacting bone, skin, and possibly all organs Gaps in Research 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 Eric Topol’s View: Real progress in longevity stems from data-driven insights (organ clocks, plasma proteomics) and predictive risk modeling—not supplements or unproven interventions. AI enables individualized, timed risk prediction for major age-related diseases (cancer, heart disease, neurodegeneration). Warned against overreliance on consumer-grade longevity services offering generalized, possibly irrelevant tests.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Ruben J. Crespo-Diaz, M.D., Ph.D. The world’s first human-to-human heart transplant was performed in 1967 and represented a significant breakthrough for medical science. Although the transplant patient only survived 18 days, it was still a historic event. Since this initial heart transplant, significant improvements have been made in the field of organ transplantation and currently, approximately 5000 heart transplants are performed annually. Unfortunately, over ten times this number could benefit from the procedure. What’s the limiting factor in the number of heart transplants performed? What are the current criteria of eligibility for a heart transplant? What are some of the improvements in the field of cardiac transplant surgery? I’ll get answers to these questions and more from my guest, Ruben J. Crespo-Diaz, M.D., Ph.D., from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Mayo Clinic. The topic for this podcast is “Cardiac Transplant”.

In this Heartline Echo Episode, we revisit a powerful conversation about recovery in healthcare. As part of a three-part series, this episode focuses on macro recoveries - extended breaks that go beyond standard vacations. I share my personal experience of taking a three-month sabbatical from clinical work, which led to a transformative shift in my approach to emergency medicine. Joined by Dr. Cheryl Martin and Dr. Dan Dworkis, we explore the importance of long-term recovery for healthcare professionals. Key insights from our discussion include: The changing landscape of emergency medicine and the increased challenges faced by healthcare workers The value of extended breaks in regaining clarity, creativity, and passion for one's work Strategies for maintaining clinical skills during periods of reduced shifts or extended time off The importance of aligning one's career with personal values and priorities Discover how to: Recognize when you need more than just a vacation to recover from burnout Navigate guilt and shame associated with taking extended breaks from clinical work Create a sustainable career path that includes periods of rest and rejuvenation Leverage insights from other high-performance fields to improve recovery practices in healthcare This episode offers invaluable perspectives for healthcare professionals at all stages of their careers, especially those grappling with burnout or questioning their long-term sustainability in the field. We challenge the notion that full-time clinical work is the only path to success and explore alternative models for fulfilling medical careers. "You are worth it. You are worth your recovery... You are 100% worth it. And you're worth that vacation and you're worth taking a sabbatical if you need it." Join us for this thought-provoking conversation that advocates for "radical recovery" in healthcare. Learn how embracing extended periods of rest and reflection can lead to more sustainable, fulfilling careers and ultimately improve patient care. This episode is part of a three-part series on recovery in healthcare. Don't miss the companion episodes on micro and meso recoveries, which are available on The Emergency Mind, episode 65 on YouTube or Apple and The Mindful Medic podcasts, respectively.

Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, the sixth president of Morehouse School of Medicine and first woman to lead as president and CEO, cuts through the noise with her refreshingly direct approach to diversifying healthcare. "If Morehouse School of Medicine is not part of the DEI story, I don't know what the DEI story is," Dr. Rice says, refusing to back down from her mission despite today's challenging climate. She brings receipts too—showing exactly how diversity in medicine delivers measurable benefits in economic impact, patient satisfaction, and health outcomes. Dr. Rice shares her practical wisdom for staying focused when leadership gets tough: "Sometimes you have to put on blinders so you don't become distracted and put earplugs in and only turn up the volume for things that are gonna keep you moving forward." She emphasizes the importance of regular connection with those she serves, keeping her calendar open on Friday afternoons for 15-minute conversations with anyone who needs to speak with her. Her journey from rural Georgia to the pinnacle of medical leadership is remarkable—transitioning from a degree in chemical engineering to attending Harvard Medical School after realizing she needed to follow her own path rather than others' expectations. This willingness to pivot and trust herself has defined her leadership style, as she's moved through numerous academic and clinical roles to her current position. Dr. Rice discusses the critical importance of trust in medicine and how physician diversity directly improves health outcomes: "The foundation of any relationship is trust." She explains how physicians who understand their patients' backgrounds can "meet them where they are" to create more effective care plans. From tackling physician representation to building patient trust through cultural concordance, Dr. Rice offers a masterclass in purposeful leadership. She reminds us why this work matters now more than ever, summing up her philosophy with the powerful question she asks herself daily: "What would you do if you could not fail?" This conversation isn't just about healthcare—it's about leading with conviction when the path gets rocky and remembering your "why" when challenges mount.

We sit down with Julia Colson, the founder and executive director of the Seattle King County Clinic, to discuss the incredible journey of establishing a large-scale, volunteer-driven pop-up clinic providing free dental, vision, and medical services to thousands each year. She shares the clinic's origin story, spurred by a 60-minute episode that highlighted the healthcare struggles of everyday people and her realization of the parallels within her own life. Julia delves into the challenges of building such a unique healthcare initiative from scratch, emphasizing the essential role of openness, humility, and collaboration in shaping the clinic's success. Through heartfelt anecdotes and insights, we explore the powerful impact of the clinic in transforming both patient experiences and volunteer perspectives while also addressing how the initiative calls attention to the broader issues plaguing our healthcare system. To Volunteer: Seattle/King County Clinic - Seattle Center Foundation Overview: Transformed from watching "60 Minutes" to founding a clinic that serves 3,000 patients in four days Used event planning background rather than healthcare expertise to approach problems differently Created a collaborative model where diverse skills complemented each other's gaps Challenged stereotypes by showing diverse patients - teachers, tech workers with insurance, not just unhoused individuals Built community between patients and volunteers by midday of each clinic Used the clinic as both immediate intervention and platform for advocacy Incorporated storytelling through comics and patient narratives to humanize statistics Balanced meeting urgent needs while pushing for systemic reform Demonstrated how naivete and humility can be assets when creating innovative solutions Prioritized listening and supporting patients over rushing through care Helped providers reconnect with the human aspects of medicine, free from business metrics Next Step: Visit our website, Healthcare for Humans, and join our community to enjoy exclusive benefits at https://www.healthcareforhumans.org/support/ Support Our Mission: Non-clinicians, explore exclusive content and contribute to our collective journey.
