S1, E48 - Renee Deehan: Trustworthy AI for Consumer Health
<p>The internet is full of wellness advice built on a single cherry-picked study. Renee Deehan, a molecular and cell biologist who leads science and AI at InsideTracker, spent two decades building the opposite. In this episode, she explains why the core of their recommendation engine is symbolic AI, knowledge representation and reasoning, rather than a large language model: it's deterministic, fully auditable, and by design cannot hallucinate. The LLMs are fenced off to chat and summaries, while humans still write and review every recommendation against convergent clinical evidence. She and the hosts dig into a 20,000-user outcomes study, the discipline of refusing to claim causality, the MCT-oil case where the system decides not to recommend, and how a data-science team grew its own AI literacy instead of hiring it.</p><p><br></p>

S1, E47 - Vimla Patel: Cognitive Science of Clinical Reasoning
<p>Dr. Vimla Patel has spent four decades studying how physicians actually reason, and what happens when technology ignores it. In this episode, she explains the difference between forward reasoning (the fast, pattern-driven hallmark of expertise) and backward reasoning (the slower, hypothesis-testing mode of novices), and why most clinical AI is built for the wrong one. Through two vivid cases, a textbook expert diagnosis and a near-fatal potassium overdose driven by a flawed order-entry system, she shows how good design preserves clinical judgment and bad design erodes it. She closes with a warning about confident AI and the quiet loss of independent thinking.</p>

S1, E46 - Peter Embi: The Doctor Who Diagnosed Himself
<p>Peter Embi has spent his career at the intersection of medicine and informatics: coining the term "algorithmovigilance," serving as the nation's first Chief Research Information Officer, and leading AI work at Vanderbilt. He is also a patient. A rare adrenal tumor took nearly 15 years and a self-diagnosis to catch, and it nearly killed him. In this conversation, Embi connects that diagnostic odyssey to the case for monitoring clinical AI the way we monitor drugs: continuously, in the real world, across a network of institutions. The discussion runs from zebras and missed diagnoses to VAMOS, the "air traffic control tower" his team built to keep deployed models honest.</p>
