In this episode of the Big Idea series, Dean Lloyd Minor welcomes Freddy Abnousi, MD, vice president of health technology at Meta and an interventional cardiologist, for a conversation about how artificial intelligence and augmented reality have the potential to transform preventative health care. They discuss how ambient AI, wearables, and smart glasses can capture valuable health information from “lived experience” that is often missed in medical records, helping to avert or manage chronic conditions. They also explore the critical challenges ahead for AI in health, from privacy concerns to workflow integration, as well as what these rapid advances mean for the future of medical education.
