    Ep 55: Right Trial, Right Patient: How to Match Smarter With AI ft. Dr. AJ Blood
    2026/01/07
    In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, Dr. AJ Blood joins the conversation to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming cardiology clinical trials and reshaping the future of patient centered research. Dr. Blood explains how AI driven tools, including his work with AI With Care, are addressing one of the most persistent challenges in clinical research by improving how eligible patients are identified for clinical trials. Traditional recruitment methods are often slow, resource intensive, and prone to false positives, while artificial intelligence can streamline patient matching, improve enrollment efficiency, and accelerate innovation in cardiovascular care. Learn more at AIwithCare.com Dr. Blood shares his professional journey from bench research to clinical trials, offering insight into how clinical experience, data science, and healthcare innovation intersect. He discusses why cardiology has become a leader in AI integration within healthcare and how intentional use of artificial intelligence can reduce inefficiencies while improving data quality and trial outcomes. A central theme of the episode is equitable access to clinical trials, with a focus on how AI can support more inclusive recruitment and help close gaps that have historically limited participation from underrepresented populations. The conversation also examines the business and strategy behind healthcare innovation. Dr. Blood reflects on the transition from academic research to scalable business models, the role of strategic funding in sustaining innovation, and how large scale investment could significantly improve cardiovascular disease prevention, obesity management, and population health. The episode concludes with a discussion on how measuring meaningful health metrics through AI enabled systems can support better clinical decision making and lead to improved long term patient outcomes.

    Ep 53: The Hypnotic State of Emergency Patients with Bram Duffee
    2025/12/10
    What if the words you say to a patient in crisis are as critical as the medications you give them? Dr. Bram Duffee, a 25-year paramedic working 72-hour weeks on Houston ambulances AND a PhD researcher, reveals why patients in medical emergencies enter a hypnotic state that makes them hyper-vulnerable to every word you say. Bram started saving lives at 14 and became one of the youngest paramedics in the country at 19. Now he splits his time between critical care ambulance work, teaching 170 communication students at Kennesaw State University, and leading research at the First Responder Behavioral Health Institute. His latest book, Hypnotic Communication in Emergency Medical Settings, hit #1 in Amazon's Emergency Medicine category for a reason. In this episode: Why patients become highly suggestible during medical emergencies The nocebo effect: how your words can accidentally worsen outcomes Rapid rapport-building techniques for high-stress situations The paramedic PTSD crisis nobody talks about (Bram shares his own story) Why EMS research is critically underfunded—and what we can do about it Therapeutic communication strategies that improve patient outcomes This isn't soft skills—it's clinical intervention backed by 25 years in the field and peer-reviewed research. 🎧 Essential listening for: Paramedics, EMTs, ER nurses, critical care staff, and first responders CONNECT WITH BRAM: First Responder Behavioral Health Institute: frbhi.com Faculty page: facultyweb.kennesaw.edu/bduffee CONNECT WITH ROSA: NurseRosaSpeaks.com

  • Ep 52: We Need To Talk About Sex with Jessica Federer

    Ep 52: We Need To Talk About Sex with Jessica Federer
    2025/12/03
    Women are experiencing twice the side effects—and no one ever told them why. In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, I talk with Jessica Federer, one of the most important leaders in women’s health innovation and digital transformation. Jessica is the Managing Partner of The Women’s Health Fund, an investor, a board member for public and private companies around the world, and a globally recognized expert in health technologies. She previously served as the first woman Chief Digital Officer in global pharma at Bayer A.G., led digital health expansions during the pandemic, advised McKinsey, contributed to Fortune Global 100 strategy, and helped scale disruptive health startups. She has been named a Rock Health “Icon,” a Health Equity Champion, and one of the top 100 Chief Digital Officers. Together, we break down one of medicine’s biggest blind spots: the long-standing belief that treating men and women the same was “equal.” In reality, that approach left women overlooked, misdiagnosed, and disproportionately harmed. From medication side effects to disease presentation to the silent X chromosome that’s almost entirely ignored in medical training. Jessica reveals why sex-based differences are not a niche topic but a foundational requirement for understanding every health condition. This conversation calls for a new paradigm in research, clinical care, and medical education. Women’s health outcomes have been shaped by decades of male-default research. Changing that means embracing accurate, evidence-based, sex-informed medicine and finally giving women the healthcare they deserve.

    In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, Rosa sits down with high school innovator Maxwell Tran, who is transforming his personal experience with stuttering into meaningful healthcare technology. Maxwell shares how competitive public speaking helped him gain confidence and ultimately inspired his creation of AI-powered augmented-reality glasses designed to support people who stutter. He explains how the idea emerged during a medical innovation program, CHOC Mi4, at Childrens Hospital of Orange County (now Rady Children's). Max describes how the glasses work by predicting words and offering phonetic cues, and why he’s partnering with the National Stuttering Association to refine his design. Rosa and Maxwell also explore the broader applications of his technology for stroke survivors with aphasia and individuals living with neurodegenerative diseases, showcasing the impact of youth-led innovation on the future of patient care.
