The AI Mistake That Killed a Healthcare Project with David Norris
In this episode of Applied Intelligence, I speak with David Norris, CEO of Infinitus Systems, about what happens when healthcare AI is “almost right”—and why that’s not good enough.
We dive into how AI is helping burned-out doctors reclaim their time, how trust is built through background mode, and why some healthcare incumbents won’t survive the next 5 years.
If you care about building ethical, scalable, human-centered AI—especially in high-stakes industries like health—this episode is a must-listen.
