The ZDoggMD Show

What if we had an invisible, Alexa-like assistant that functioned like a medical intern, doing the scut and freeing us to be present for our patients? Punit Soni, founder and CEO of Suki, is building exactly that. Will it actually work, or is it one more of Silicon Valley's failed healthcare promises? We dive in! In this episode we discuss how technology can actually enable the human relationship that's been lost in healthcare. We talk about the challenges and opportunities of having a voice-activated AI that empowers rather than obstructs. Would you let it into your exam room? After talking to Punit and his COO and fellow UCSF alum Dr. Nathan Gunn, and after seeing the demo, I have little doubt that the future of Health 3.0 is gonna be bright (with only a 30% risk of robot apocalypse).

My friend Chris Lindland (founder of Betabrand) wants to change how we dress—and therefore feel and act—at work. In this wide-ranging interview we talk about how to turn a side hustle into a calling with purpose, the beauty of letting the PEOPLE decide what they want and then building it, self-expression in conservative medical settings (tatoos, clothes, hair), and how healthcare and creativity intersect.

In this solo podcast I discuss the concept of "antifragility" as applied to children, then our healthcare system as a whole. Health 1.0 and it's transformation to 2.0 are reviewed, along with the new emergent of Health 3.0 and some illustrative lessons from my now-closed clinic, Turntable Health. I touch on the moral injury we're calling burnout as well as the curative principles of the Health 3.0 vision. It's philosophy, sociology, medicine, and curse words all in one bizarre package ;-) You can watch the video at zdoggmd.com/incident-report-212 and become a Facebook supporter of the show at facebook.com/becomesupporter/zdoggmd.

Since Tom Hinueber is involved, we also discuss free will and choice (particularly in the realms of depression and mental illness), cognitive behavioral therapy and distortions of thinking, common-enemy vs. common-humanity identity politics, what antivaxxers get RIGHT about our healthcare system, the discrete nature of consciousness, how to end suffering, and much more.
