    #68 - When AI Makes Care More Expensive

    Oct 29, 202623 min

    What if one of AI’s biggest impacts on healthcare isn’t a miracle diagnosis, but a bigger bill? We follow a surprisingly direct path from “helpful automation” to higher prices: AI scribes produce richer clinical...

    #67 - How AI Helps Make mRNA Vaccines Thermostable

    Oct 22, 202622 min

    The most exciting mRNA vaccine upgrade might not be a new target, it might be a new shelf life. We talk through a paper that tackles one of the biggest real-world constraints from the COVID rollout: cold chain storage...

    #65 - Can care managers trust AI summaries?

    Oct 8, 202640 min

    A patient’s story is not a single narrative. It’s fragments scattered across years of EHR clicks: a lab here, a care note there, a phone call summary buried in free text, plus the real-life factors that shape outcomes...

    #64 - Can A Timely Push Alert Prevent Hospital Deaths?

    Oct 1, 202618 min

    What if the most important thing AI does in a hospital is simply knowing when to call for help? We dig into a deceptively simple idea: pairing an AI-driven deterioration index with an automatic push notification to the...

    #62 - What Is Drift? (And Why We Need To Keep A Close Eye)

    Sep 17, 202626 min

    Your clinical AI model passed validation. Everyone celebrates. Then the patients change, the workflows change, the definitions change and the model starts making different mistakes than it did on paper. That gap is...

    #61 - Congrats, You Added A Human in the Loop. Now What?

    Sep 10, 202623 min

    “Put a human in the loop” sounds like common sense. But when we actually look at how medical AI shows up in busy clinical workflows, that slogan can become a liability. We unpack why oversight often turns into a...

    #60 - We Can Teach Medical AI To Look Like Experts

    Sep 3, 202622 minS1

    If you’ve ever wondered why an AI model can sound confident while still being wrong, radiology is the perfect lens. We’re looking at a new approach to medical imaging AI that tries to close the gap between raw pattern...

    #59 - When a Humanoid Robot Removes A Gallbladder

    Aug 27, 202624 minS1

    What happens when the “robot surgeon” stops being a fixed set of arms and starts walking into the operating room like a person? We explore a fresh research result where a teleoperated humanoid robot performs...

    #58 - Can AI find sperm that the human eye misses?

    Aug 20, 202619 min

    A pregnancy from two viable sperm recovered by AI sounds impossible until you walk through the workflow step by step. We start with the reality that male factor infertility can drive a huge share of infertility cases...

    #57 - If We Can Invent New Viruses Should We

    Aug 13, 202622 min

    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...

    #56 - How Deep Learning Finds Hidden Clues In A Standard EKG

    Aug 6, 202624 min

    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...

    #55 - Rogue AI Escapes A Sandbox And Hacks The Internet

    Jul 30, 202626 minS1

    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...

    #54 - The Cancer Exam That AI Failed

    Jul 23, 202626 min

    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...

    #53 - Pretty Pictures, Dangerous Mistakes

    Jul 16, 202628 min

    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...

    #52 - When "Once A Day" Becomes Eleven Pills

    Jul 9, 202626 minS1

    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...

  • Episode #51

    #51 - The Autonomy Illusion

    Jul 2, 202629 minS1

    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...

    #50 - AI Caught The Heart Failure Nobody Saw

    Jun 25, 202631 min

    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...

    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...

    Jun 4, 202626 minS0

    <p>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...
