This episode is a little different from what we usually cover on New Frontiers, but it’s one I couldn’t wait to bring to you. I’ve been thinking a lot about how we—as clinicians—are supposed to keep up in this era of high-throughput technology. We’re swimming in data: labs, multi-omics, diet logs… and an ever-growing stream from wearables. There’s just so much coming at us, and too often, we’re awash in a sea of information without adequate interpretive power.
That’s why this conversation with Dr. Rana el Kaliouby felt so important. She’s not just an AI scientist—she’s a visionary and a total badass. She’s building technology that doesn’t just process data, but actually helps us become better clinicians and better humans. We get into the ethics, the potential, the parenting implications—and yes, a personal story about a tragedy in my own hometown that made this all hit very close to home. This one’s powerful, and I hope it sparks the same questions and inspiration for you as it did for me. ~DrKF
