Listen Later

In this episode of Begin Again, AI expert and journalist Lara Lewington explores how artificial intelligence is transforming our health for the better.

From wearable tech that tracks your every heartbeat to AI that can detect cancer, depression, and even Alzheimer’s before symptoms show, Lara shares the groundbreaking ways machines are helping humans live longer, healthier lives.

She talks candidly about what the future of healthcare looks like, why we should stop fearing AI, and how embracing it might just be the key to solving some of medicine’s biggest challenges.

Through extensive research and real-world reporting, Lara explains how she is learning to embrace AI and how you can too. From boosting our wellbeing to extending our lives, she reveals why AI is not something to fear but a powerful tool here to help us live longer, healthier, and ultimately happier lives.
