Welcome to HealthTech Check Up! On this week's episode, your hosts Rachelle Galant and Perry Dimas take a hands-on approach to exploring how generative AI, specifically ChatGPT, can support healthcare decisions.

Building on their last conversation, Rachelle shares her own recent lab results and runs them through ChatGPT to see what kind of health insights and vitamin recommendations it offers. From magnesium to iron levels, they dig into the chatbot’s feedback and compare it to real-life medical advice. Along the way, they explore the potential benefits and limits of using AI tools for personal health analysis.

Can ChatGPT really help flag what’s important? Should doctors integrate tools like this into their workflow? And what happens when patients start bringing AI-generated opinions to their appointments?

If you’ve ever Googled your symptoms (or wondered what AI knows about your health) this one’s for you.

Welcome to HealthTech Check Up! On this week's episode, your hosts Rachelle Galant and Perry Dimas are chatting about Robots in Healthcare. Our co-hosts dive into the fascinating world of robots in healthcare—past, present, and future. From robotic-assisted surgeries and AI note-takers to the maddening reality of MyChart forms and paper-based systems, they explore how healthcare is both racing ahead—and stuck in the past.

With their signature blend of curiosity and candor, they discuss the promise and pitfalls of automation, whether today’s tech can truly support overburdened providers, and why interoperability still lags far behind other industries.

💡 Topics Covered:

• Evolution of robots in medicine: from medication carts to surgical robots
• Use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) in supporting healthcare professionals
• Robotic-assisted surgeries and rehabilitation devices
• AI-powered note-taking and automation for provider support
• Challenges in system-to-system communication (e.g., EHRs, MyChart)
• Tension between innovation and inertia in healthcare systems
• The real-world limitations of "disruptive" technology
• Ethical and emotional implications of automation in patient care

So whether you’re team surgical robot or still clinging to your fax machine, this episode’s got something for you.

Welcome to HealthTech Check Up! On this week's episode, your hosts Rachelle Galant and Perry Dimas are chatting with Ryan Flinn, communications consultant, biotech strategist, and former Bloomberg journalist—to explore how storytelling, artificial intelligence, and innovative technologies are transforming the healthcare landscape.

Ryan shares his unique journey from classics major to journalist to biotech communicator, revealing how clear, human-centered storytelling is key to navigating a world of complex science, broken systems, and growing mistrust.

We discuss how tools like ChatGPT can help translate medical jargon, why “being a nice doctor” might be more important than encyclopedic knowledge, and how AI can both challenge and improve health equity.

We also dive into the cutting edge of healthcare innovation—from digital twins and open-source models to AI-powered drug discovery and “lab bench” supercomputers. Ryan unpacks how these technologies could dramatically accelerate treatment development, empower non-scientists to participate in breakthroughs, and reshape the economics of biotech.

💡 Topics Covered:

• Ryan’s path from journalism to biotech communications
  
  
  
• Why plain language is critical in health innovation
  
  
  
• The dual role of AI in health equity and access
  
  
  
• The potential of digital twins and supercomputers in drug discovery
  
  
  
• The systemic funding challenges in biotech
  
  
  
• How non-scientists may help drive future medical breakthroughs
  
  
  
• The evolving patient-provider relationship in the age of AI
  
  
  
• Why storytelling is the secret weapon for healthcare innovators

Whether you're a healthcare professional, communicator, or curious patient, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how technology and empathy can come together to build a more transparent, trustworthy, and inclusive future for medicine.
