Love in medical education: Why it's vital to nurturing empathy and compassion

In this episode, we sit down with Stevan Walkowski, an osteopathic physician, to discuss the impact of technology on medicine and medical education. With the recent news of artificial intelligence passing the USMLE, we delve into questions about the future of medicine, the role of human interaction in health care, and the importance of bringing love and heart into medical education. We explore the unique position humans hold in the face of artificial intelligence and the ways in which valuing empathy, compassion, and humanity can shape the future of health care. Join us for an insightful conversation with a medical professional who brings a human perspective to the intersection of medicine and technology.

Ambient intelligence augments human capabilities to make our lives easier. The applications are many, especially in health care. Ambient clinical intelligence is offsetting the most pressing challenges in health care today, such as burnout, physician shortages, physician and patient dissatisfaction, and underperforming financial outcomes, by applying the technology to clinical documentation.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, utilizes artificial intelligence and natural language processing to automatically document care. It securely listens to and captures the natural, clinician-patient encounter conversation unobtrusively, and turns that conversation into a clinical note for the clinician's review and signature directly in the electronic health record. You just talk naturally, and DAX does the rest.

DAX is being used by thousands of physicians across 30 different specialties nationwide. It has already won the Silver Stevie award in the health care technology category and was ranked #1 for improving clinician experience in KLAS's top 20 emerging solutions.
