Beyond the Buzz: Demystifying AI in Healthcare and Educatio
Roland DePratti, cutting through the hype and fear to uncover Artificial Intelligence (AI) potential in healthcare and education, and its future use in education and healthcare.
We clarify the difference between AI and ML, and show how these tools are already being used—not to replace professionals—but to empower them. From predicting hospital readmissions to designing personalized physical therapy plans, AI is helping providers make faster, more accurate, and more customized decisions. Roland answers my questions and clarifies AI in my profession.
We also explore how AI-powered tools like computer vision, wearable sensors, and natural language processing are revolutionizing patient care and clinical documentation, making healthcare more human-centered, not less.
Whether you're a provider, educator, student, or just curious about the future, this episode is your guide to understanding how AI can support the people behind the professions.
