Unlocking AI’s Potential in Healthcare — with Peter Durlach

What does it take to move artificial intelligence from pilots to production in healthcare?

In this episode of ReAligned Healthcare, Peter Durlach, Chief Strategy Officer at Microsoft Health & Life Sciences, joins Dr. Yauheni Solad to unpack how AI is reshaping care delivery, operations, and research.

💡 Key Insights:

Scaling AI requires more than technology — platforms, governance, and workflow integration are essential

Ambient intelligence is reducing physician burnout and freeing time for patient care

Agent-based approaches (like tumor board automation) show how AI can act as a “digital colleague”

Incentive misalignment remains the biggest barrier to healthcare transformation

True value comes from solving defined problems, not chasing pilots or hype

Peter reminds us: AI should be a co-pilot, not an autopilot — augmenting human expertise and enabling clinicians and leaders to focus on what matters most.
