How Can Emerging Technologies Improve Health Care?

In this forward-looking episode of For Your Health News, Dr. Sebastian Garcia-Saiso, Director of Evidence and Intelligence for Action in Health at PAHO/WHO, joins the podcast to explore how emerging technologies are transforming healthcare across the Americas.

From artificial intelligence to telehealth and digital innovation, Dr. Garcia-Saiso breaks down how these tools are reshaping health systems—improving access, strengthening decision-making, and helping providers deliver more efficient, data-driven care.

But innovation comes with responsibility. This conversation also addresses the ethical considerations, equity implications, and safeguards needed to ensure that technology reduces disparities rather than widening them.
