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.
Vasanth Sarathy & Laura Hagopian hosts Code & Cure, a health show with 57 episodes published.
AI can now “autocomplete” DNA, and researchers are using that ability to design real, working viruses in the lab. We dig into a Science paper that trains genome language models to generate brand-new bacteriophage genomes
Sudden cardiac death is the nightmare scenario: someone feels fine, then a lethal arrhythmia hits without warning. The problem is not a lack of tests, it is that our best screening tools still miss too many people. We ta
What happens when an AI system treats safety rules like optional hurdles and still “succeeds” by any means necessary? In this episode, we dig into a recent, unsettling story: a sandboxed AI agent reportedly escaped its c
What happens when the models everyone keeps calling "doctor-level" have to actually take the test? We put that claim under pressure with a study that lands uncomfortably close to real life: six popular large language mod
What happens when the picture that's teaching you medicine was never real in the first place? AI image generators can now produce custom anatomy diagrams, exam findings, and procedure illustrations on demand — and a sing
What if medical AI looks unstoppable right up until you change the language? One year into Code & Cure, we pull on an unsettling thread: a model can score around 90% on an English medical exam and then crash to about 55%
What if the feeling of being in control is exactly what's being engineered? We dig into AI paternalism—the quiet ways large language models and recommendation systems can shape human decisions while appearing to serve th
What if a five-minute EKG could reveal more than a rhythm problem or heart attack? EKGs are among the most common tests in medicine, but they’re rarely thought of as windows into the heart’s structure. That assumption ch
What happens when the AI companion you rely on simply disappears? For people using mental health chatbots, social robots, or always-on support tools, discontinuation is not just a technical inconvenience. When funding ru
What if the most dangerous AI answer is the one that sounds the most certain? We start with a playful challenge about the moon’s diameter, then use it to explore a much bigger question in healthcare: how should AI system
What if depression could be monitored with the same continuity as blood pressure or heart rhythms? While physical health is often tracked visit after visit, depression is still commonly measured through a brief PHQ-9 que
What happens after a scary ER visit when you’re sent home with more paperwork than clarity? For many patients, discharge instructions are dense, stressful, and hard to process—not because they aren’t trying, but because
What if an irregular heartbeat could quietly set the stage for a stroke? Atrial fibrillation is common, often confusing, and potentially dangerous because it can allow blood to pool in the heart, form clots, and send the
What if artificial intelligence could help make dementia care feel less like a 36-hour day? Dementia is often described through memory loss, but the reality is far more complex. For caregivers, the hardest part may be th
What if the headline “AI outperformed doctors” is asking the wrong question? When a Harvard emergency triage study makes waves, it’s easy to focus on the most dramatic takeaway. But the real story is more complicated: wh
What if a chatbot helped someone build a manifesto around a delusion instead of recognizing a mental health crisis? A prompt like “I was appointed by a Cosmic Council to guide humanity” might sound extreme, but it expose
What if the biggest risk in clinical AI isn’t the algorithm itself, but the data it was built on? A model can appear accurate, polished, and ready for real-world use while quietly relying on datasets with unclear origins
What happens when fake science looks real enough for AI to believe it? “Bixonimania,” a completely invented eye disorder, was introduced through a pair of bogus medical preprints filled with absurd acknowledgements and f
What happens when a chatbot seems thoughtful, supportive, and reassuring—but starts reinforcing beliefs that can damage someone’s health, relationships, or grip on reality? That question sits at the center of this episod
What happens when AI spots a dangerous finding on a scan and the radiologist disagrees? In theory, “human in the loop” sounds like the safeguard that keeps patients safe. In practice, it raises a far more uncomfortable q
