In this episode of the Healthcare Leadership Excellence Podcast, I’m joined by Oli Johnson, founder of PrescribeLife.AI and a technologist dedicated to preventing burnout and building resilience through innovation and culture. Drawing from his own leadership journey, Oli shares how AI, data, and organizational design can work together to help leaders create healthier, more sustainable teams.

He discusses how technology, when developed with empathy, can reduce the hidden workload behind burnout, streamlining communication, supporting mental health, and allowing clinicians and leaders to focus on meaningful work. Oli also explains why psychological safety, reflection, and human connection remain essential even in an AI-driven workplace.

A central theme of our conversation is that burnout prevention starts with design, not recovery. Oli outlines practical ways organizations can use data to predict stress, foster resilience, and create cultures where people can thrive. He reflects on the role of leadership in balancing performance with well-being and why the future of healthcare depends on integrating intelligence, both artificial and emotional, into how we lead.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of burnout,  this conversation offers a new way forward, blending innovation with empathy to help you lead with clarity, balance, and purpose.
