Episode notes
Use AI To Become A More Informed Patient
- Use medical-focused AI tools to learn about your health before clinic visits so you arrive informed.
- Ask AI to explain things at different levels (eighth grader vs cardiologist) to match your knowledge.

- Regulation should build safety guardrails and transparency rather than ban fast-moving AI in health.
- Ask companies to show what they built, what data went in, and how they protect patients.
