Ambient Listening and Digital Therapeutics: AI in Healthcare with RJ Kedziora
About This Podcast
The tech world loves the mantra “move fast and break things,” but in healthcare, the thing you break could be a person. So, how do you drive innovation when the stakes are life and death? This episode features RJ Kedziora, co-founder of Estenda, who shares invaluable lessons from the front lines of digital health.
Key Takeaways
AI-powered tools like ambient listening scribes are revolutionizing clinical workflows by significantly reducing “pajama time”—the after-hours administrative burden—freeing up clinicians to dedicate more valuable minutes to direct patient interaction and care.
Ethically harnessing AI means focusing on augmenting human capabilities and expanding access to care, while proactively managing risks such as inherent bias and ensuring that technology complements, rather than replaces, vital human connection and trust.
Shifting focus from traditional time management to actively managing personal energy—as outlined in concepts like “Productive Harmony”—can unlock higher productivity and help leadership and their teams sidestep burnout, fostering a more sustainable approach to achieving strategic goals in Digital Transformation.
