Volume 1, Episode 2 of Principals of Healthcare AI-IRL
Autonomy with a Stethoscope. The Role of Agentic AI in Modern Healthcare
Hosts Prerna Anand, Angel Shew and Karen Vincent—healthcare tech leaders and former colleagues—dive into a provocative frontier in health tech: Agentic AI — systems that don’t just analyze data but take autonomous action.
👩⚕️ What happens when AI acts independently in healthcare? 👨⚕️ How do we define appropriate autonomy vs. full autonomy? ⚖️ Who is responsible when AI makes a clinical decision?
Join hosts as they dig into real-world use cases — from AI-enabled stroke detection to collaborative agents for chronic care — and unpack the design, trust, legal, and ethical considerations that come with AI systems that act on their own.
📌 Topics covered include:
- What is Agentic AI in healthcare?
- Autonomy vs. collaboration: where AI works, and where humans must remain in control
- The role of transparency, explainability, and regulatory gaps
- How to design AI systems that augment rather than replace
👀 Watch now to discover why collaborative agency may be the future — and what it means for patients, providers, and product teams.
