In this episode of the Healthcare Leadership Excellence Podcast, I speak with Richard Kedziora, COO and co-founder of Estenda, a digital health platform.  Richard shares his journey from programming in the 1980s to leading advancements in AI-driven healthcare. He clarifies misconceptions about artificial intelligence. He highlights its long history and its role in supporting human intelligence rather than replacing it.

Richard discusses how AI can improve healthcare. He highlights practical uses such as automated note-taking, summarizing patient records, and identifying candidates for clinical trials. These tools help ease the administrative load on clinicians and enhance patient care. He also explains the importance of safeguards to address potential errors.

One of the key ideas Richard shares is viewing AI as a helpful "second opinion" for healthcare providers, allowing them to work more efficiently. He encourages healthcare leaders to explore available tools like ambient listening technologies that integrate with existing systems to reduce workloads and improve processes.

Richard concludes by inviting listeners to connect with Estenda to discover how AI can address healthcare challenges. His insights provide a clear vision of AI’s potential to support healthcare professionals and improve outcomes.
