In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Brian Miller, a Family Medicine Physician and Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University, to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in addressing burnout within the healthcare industry and streamlining administrative processes. Dr. Miller highlights the regulatory burdens across various healthcare services and their impact on the well-being of doctors and nurses. We discuss how AI can enhance the efficiency of healthcare professionals, enabling them to focus more on high-value patient care while navigating risk aversion and regulatory barriers that have hindered innovation in the field. Drawing parallels with the FCC, Dr. Miller suggests how the FDA could facilitate data portability and centralization to drive innovation in healthcare. Furthermore, we delve into how AI holds promise in alleviating the burnout epidemic among healthcare workers, offering solutions to improve their work-life balance. Dr. Miller also explains how AI implementation can lead to cost savings within the healthcare system and empower FDA regulators to provide more value in pharmaceutical oversight, facilitating a shift towards proactive monitoring.
