In this episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare, recorded live at the ViVE 2026 conference, Eric Glazer sits down with Dr. Pavitra Krishnamani from MD Anderson Cancer Center to explore what it actually takes to build scalable digital health systems. As both a practicing emergency physician and digital health innovator, Dr. Krishnamani brings a frontline perspective to one of healthcare's biggest challenges: why so many digital health tools fail to scale, and what separates technologies that succeed from those that don't. While the industry continues to invest heavily in AI, wearables, telehealth, and other digital tools, many health systems are still struggling with fragmented solutions, low adoption, and limited real-world impact. The path forward isn't more tools, it's better systems.  In this episode, you'll learn: Why workflow integration matters more than features in digital health adoption How AI, wearables, telehealth, VR, and EHRs must work together as a connected ecosystem What health systems should evaluate before bringing in new technology, including ROI, maintenance, and unintended consequences The role of human-centered design in building solutions clinicians will actually use  Why adoption fails without clinician buy-in, flexibility, and cultural alignment How to design more effective pilots and avoid common implementation pitfalls Why education and mindset are critical to scaling AI and digital health What it takes to move from siloed tools to scalable, system-level transformation Key Takeaway: "Education begets innovation" - Pavitra P. Krishnamani, MD. Scalable digital health isn't about deploying more technology, it's about aligning technology, workflows, and people into systems that actually work in practice. Learn More from Dr. Krishnamani: http://pavitramd.com/. Dr. Krishnamani expands on many of these ideas in her upcoming book: Home is Where the Health Is: How Digital Innovation and Technological Advances are Transforming Healthcare and Wellness. The book explores how technologies like AI, wearables, telehealth, and data systems are coming together to reshape healthcare delivery and move care closer to where patients live their daily lives.

The electronic medical record (EMR) has become an unwelcome interloper in the exam room. Too often, patients find themselves answering questions delivered from behind a monitor by physicians hurriedly typing away. This isn't the kind of care anyone wants — but it's what the system demands. Thankfully, change may be on the horizon.  AI scribes are now being rolled out in EMRs across the country, capable of listening to a visit, generating a clinic note, and freeing the physician to be present with their patient. But these scribes are only an opening act of a much larger experiment — one that asks not merely whether AI can redeem the medical record, but whether it can usher in something closer to a Golden Age of medicine. Our guest on this episode is Bob Wachter, MD, professor and chair of medicine at UCSF and a leading voice in hospital medicine and administration. In 1996, he and his colleague Lee Goldman coined the term “hospitalist,” giving rise to what has become the fastest growing specialty in the history of modern medicine. He has authored over 300 articles and 6 books, including the New York Times bestseller The Digital Doctor (2015) and A Giant Leap: How AI is Transforming Healthcare and What That Means for Our Future (2026). Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Wachter traces how a long-held fascination with systems drew him into studying medicine's digital transformation over the past 15 years — a period spanning the turbulent rollout of electronic medical records and now the arrival of AI. We explore the bumpy history of adopting powerful but general-purpose technologies, how such technologies force complex industries to reshape themselves, and humanity's humbling track record of predicting what comes next. Dr. Wachter makes the case that AI's integration into medicine constitutes the biggest experiment the field has ever undertaken, and explains why he believes it will ultimately resolve many of the health care system's deepest problems and elevate the practice of medicine itself.In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:46 - Dr. Watcher's path to medicine and to his study of digital transformation8:06 - The wins and losses of the transition to electronic medical records26:45 - Why Dr. Watcher is optimistic that AI will deliver a “golden age” for medicine 37:30 - Contending with the potential dangers of AI in the revenue-focused medical industry50:30 - Dr. Watcher's view on if there will always be an important place for doctors in the future If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of Cloud Wars Live, Bob Evans speaks with Seema Verma, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, about how AI is reshaping the healthcare industry. Drawing on her experience leading the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Verma explains how Oracle is tackling one of the world's most complex sectors with an end-to-end, AI-driven approach. The conversation explores how automation, modern electronic health records, and intelligent agents can reduce administrative costs, improve patient care, and unify fragmented healthcare systems into a more efficient and responsive ecosystem. Oracle Healthcare Vision The Big Themes: AI as Healthcare Backbone: Oracle is not approaching healthcare transformation as a collection of isolated tools but as a unified, AI-driven ecosystem. Unlike past efforts that layered technology onto outdated systems, Oracle is rebuilding infrastructure from the ground up with AI at its core. This allows automation to flow across the entire system rather than remaining siloed. The result is a more cohesive healthcare environment where decisions, processes, and outcomes are interconnected, enabling true industry-wide transformation rather than incremental improvements. Clinical AI Agents in Action: One of the most compelling innovations discussed is Oracle's clinical AI agent, which listens to doctor-patient interactions and automatically generates notes, recommendations, and workflows. This technology goes beyond documentation — it initiates next steps such as prescribing medications, ordering tests, and suggesting billing codes. Physicians benefit from reduced administrative workload, allowing them to focus on patient interaction. Clinical Trials Transformation: Clinical trials are another area ripe for disruption, with only 1–2% of eligible patients participating due to outdated recruitment methods. Oracle is addressing this by matching patients to trials using real-time health data. Instead of manual processes like bulletin board sign-ups, AI can identify eligible participants and notify both clinicians and patients. The Big Quote: “Fifty percent, sixty percent of the costs are labor-oriented. And if we look at the growth in healthcare, that's not changing, we see high prices in drugs, one of the fastest-growing areas. And so here's where AI has an incredible opportunity here to really transform the industry and get rid of a lot of that repetitive, manual work and increase efficiency."

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore how Oracle is using AI to unify and transform the fragmented healthcare ecosystem. Highlights 00:03 — Early in 2026, we're seeing big strides made across all industries with AI, but in particular, there's enormous promise for AI in healthcare. So, I had a chance recently to speak with Oracle Executive Vice President Seema Verma. She's in charge of healthcare and health and life sciences. 01:06 —And one of the things that Seema talked about here is that, for too long, every part of the healthcare industry has been caught up in these point solutions, which worked well for their very narrow slice. But in these days, that's just too much manual effort, too much time required, too much movement attempting to stitch together different data models. 01:33 — And especially now with AI coming, the data has to be centralized. It's got to be in one place, clean, secure, and ready to go. So in this video interview, Seema talks about some of the advances Oracle's making. She said, “We're addressing the big pain points.” 02:06 — She talked a lot about identity, authentication, the ability for doctors and offices to be able to listen and look directly at the patient instead of typing on the keyboard while the AI is recording and transcribing it and bringing up other relevant information. 04:05 — So I do love this big, sprawling effort here, the end-to-end initiative. I think more and more we're going to be seeing that the big application, slash agents, slash data, slash AI, companies like Oracle are going to go after this more on a big, comprehensive basis.  Visit Cloud Wars for more.

America spends nearly double what the fourth-ranked country spends on healthcare per capita — and still ranks among the worst in outcomes. So what exactly are we paying for? In this episode of the Experiencing Healthcare Podcast, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub examine what happens when healthcare gets treated like gasoline: something people expect to be available, can't easily compare on quality, and ultimately choose based on price or convenience. When brand and price stop mattering, the only differentiator left is how patients are made to feel — and whether they trust the person across from them enough to actually change. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Matt ranks service above outcomes and access — and the patient story that changed how he thinks about both The "Chick-fil-A problem": how your healthcare experience is now being compared to your best service experience anywhere, not just the clinic down the street What provider burnout really looks like when a clinician closes their notes at 11pm wondering if their patient listened How insurance billing creates distrust that bleeds directly into the patient-provider relationship — and what healthcare organizations can do about it Why the most caring thing a doctor can do sometimes feels like the worst customer service in the room If you've ever felt like a number in a waiting room — or if you've ever been the one trying to help someone who wouldn't listen — this conversation will stay with you. Press play.

Trushna Dave, Co-founder of XCaliber Health, spoke with Moshe Beauford of Technology Reseller News at the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition about how AI-powered agents are beginning to transform healthcare operations by reducing administrative burdens on clinicians and healthcare staff. Dave explained that XCaliber Health focuses on deploying AI agents designed to assist healthcare organizations with operational and administrative workflows. By automating routine processes and data interactions, these AI tools can help reduce the time clinicians spend on non-clinical tasks, allowing them to focus more directly on patient care. A key theme of the discussion was the importance of building AI solutions that integrate seamlessly into real healthcare environments. Rather than replacing clinicians, XCaliber Health's technology is designed to support them—helping with documentation, workflow coordination, and other time-consuming tasks that often contribute to clinician burnout. Dave emphasized that healthcare AI solutions must be developed with a strong understanding of the clinical environment and regulatory landscape. “The goal is not to replace clinicians, but to give them tools that remove friction from their day so they can spend more time focusing on patients,” she said. As healthcare leaders gathered at HIMSS to explore emerging technologies including AI, digital health platforms, and operational automation, the conversation highlighted the growing role of intelligent agents in improving efficiency and supporting healthcare professionals across the care continuum.

With AI now accelerating at a rapid pace, can this moment finally deliver on that promise?Dr. Robert Wachter, author of A Giant Leap, joins host John Driscoll to discuss how AI is evolving clinical workflows and decision-making, why "better than human" is good enough in our overburdened system, and the leadership choices that will determine whether AI reduces burnout or deepens healthcare's existing failures.

Artificial intelligence can now match and sometimes surpass physicians in areas such as diagnosis to empathy. What does that mean for doctors, patients, and the future of our health care? Join us for a look at AI in medicine from the physician who has more than a dozen times ranked as one of the 50 most influential physician-executives in the United States by Modern Healthcare magazine, Robert Wachter, M.D.  Wachter will sift out the facts from the hype and make a compelling argument for AI's power to transform health care. He says that the system is currently buckling under the weight of bureaucratic pressures, soaring costs, and clinician burnout; in that environment, AI doesn't have to be perfect, just better.  Wachter conducted extensive research and more than 100 interviews with leaders in medicine, technology, policy and business; he presented the results in his new book A Giant Leap: How AI is Transforming Healthcare and What That Means for Our Future. In it, he also considers challenges such as AI hallucinations, biases and misinformation. Yet AI is already in hospitals and clinics drafting notes, answering patient questions, recommending treatments, interpreting images, and guiding surgeries.  Will this collaboration of humans and technology be successful in the long term? Will it become the savior of health care or just another source of harm and frustration? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
