🚨 Breaking news in healthcare AI. 🚨

In this special episode of the #ThisJustInRadio Show, I had the opportunity to sit down with my good friend, Angela Shippy MD of @awscloud to discuss the introduction of @amazon Connect Health, a new AI-powered platform designed to improve both the patient and clinician experience.

Healthcare leaders consistently say that patient access and administrative burden remain two of the biggest operational challenges in the industry. It's exciting to see that this innovative platform was built directly from those needs, enabling organizations to verify patients faster, schedule appointments more efficiently, and deliver real-time insights during patient interactions.

In this episode, Dr. Shippy shares how early adopters are already seeing powerful results: One health system supporting 3.2 million patients across 45 contact centers saved roughly 1 minute per call, translating into 33,000 hours returned to meaningful patient interactions rather than burdensome administrative tasks.

More importantly, and as I like to highlight on my radio shows, this is another example of how agentic AI is moving beyond pilots and becoming embedded directly into healthcare workflows.

As we head into HIMSS Annual Conference, this is an important development for health systems looking to reduce friction, improve access, and scale AI across the enterprise.

Tune in to hear Dr. Shippy share the vision behind Amazon Connect Health and where AI-driven patient experiences are headed next: https://t.co/KTWzjR11vC

In this episode of #ThisJustInRadio Show, I sat down with Kevin Crosby, Managing Director of Healthcare & Life Sciences at @testmuai, for a candid conversation on what it really takes to deploy AI safely at scale in healthcare.

After three decades across healthcare delivery and enterprise technology, Kevin has seen firsthand why testing can no longer be an afterthought. We talked about agent-to-agent validation, why #AI must absorb complexity instead of adding to clinician burden, and how #healthcare leaders can regain release confidence without slowing innovation.

If you are thinking seriously about AI governance, validation, and real-world deployment in healthcare, this conversation is worth your time.

In this episode of the This Just In Radio Show, recorded live from @HLTHEVENT in #LasVegas, I sat down with two industry leaders who are shaping what is coming next for patient care:

🔵 @DrRowIlling, Global Chief Medical Officer, Healthcare & Life Sciences at @awscloud
🔵 @Jonathan_Bush, Founder & CEO of @ZusHealthHQ

We cover what’s moved from theory to reality this year: generative and agentic #AI supporting clinicians at scale, technology fading into the background so care teams can focus on patients, and the shift from episodic care to truly longitudinal, always-on care models.

From #cloud and AI infrastructure to common patient records, accountable care, and the future beyond the #EHR, this conversation gets practical fast.
If you’re thinking about how AI, data, and care delivery come together over the next few years, this one is worth your time.

I had the opportunity to sit down with two exceptional leaders who are shaping the future of healthcare from very different, but deeply connected angles: #oncology innovation and industry-wide ecosystem growth.

First, @NaineshParikhMD of Moffitt Cancer Center (@MoffittNews) joins me for a powerful conversation on the future of cancer care: from budget strategy and governance to AI-driven clinical research and the bold question of whether we can move more cancers into chronic, survivable conditions.

Then, @richscarfo, President of @HLTHEVENT, shares what made #HLTH25 the most energized event yet and what’s ahead for the HLTH ecosystem: from new experience zones and national dinner series to global expansion across Europe.
