The Opportunities & Challenges of AI in Healthcare with Cristian Pascual of Mediktor


Listen Later

AI has been quietly transforming healthcare for years, but the arrival of ChatGPT changed the game. Suddenly, everyone—from patients to investors—could see the real-world impact of AI in making healthcare more efficient and accessible.

One company leading this transformation is Mediktor, a pioneer in AI-powered symptom assessment. Before AI had its cultural moment, Mediktor—a member of the StartUp Health community since 2016—was already using it to help stratify patients and guide them to the right level of care. Now, they’re growing rapidly and shaping the future of AI in healthcare.

In this episode, we chat with Cristian Pascual, CEO & Co-founder of Mediktor, to discuss:

  • The evolution of AI in healthcare and why it’s accelerating now
  • How Mediktor’s AI-driven symptom assessment is improving patient care
  • The challenges of AI in healthcare, including LLMs, “black-box” models, and hallucinations
  • Why a hybrid AI approach—combining automation with human safeguards—is the future
  • As AI continues to shape healthcare, companies must balance innovation with accuracy. Pascual shares insights on how to harness AI’s power while ensuring reliability and trust.

    Tune in to explore the next wave of AI in healthcare—and what it means for patients, providers, and the industry at large.
