If healthcare AI is truly evolving, why are there still gaps between what technology can do and what healthcare organizations are actually doing? These gaps aren't just inefficiencies. They're creating real clinical risks that directly impact patient outcomes.

This year-end roundtable brings together three healthcare AI experts—Dr. Harvey Castro, Dr. Junaid Kalia, and Edward Marx—following their appearance at AIMed 2025 to share their key takeaways from deploying AI in the messy reality of hospital systems. They synthesize insights across policy, culture, and implementation: how cost disruption reshapes hospital innovation budgets, what Singapore's mandatory retraining model signals about workforce transformation, and where CMS guidelines create strategic inflection points for health systems. They demonstrate what continuous collaborative learning looks like in practice: completing advanced certifications, testing tools hands-on in their own workflows, and building AI systems for acute care environments.

Whether you're a clinician evaluating AI tools for your practice, an executive planning institutional strategy, or a founder building healthcare AI solutions, this episode helps you separate signal from noise and position yourself strategically in this transformation.

Innovation signals are everywhere, but what matters are those that move from laboratory potential to measurable clinical impact.

Joining the conversation are Jim Pollock and Tom Meese from LumenAstra, demonstrating how clinical insight, technical capability, and strategic execution bridge the gap between healthcare innovation and patient outcomes. The discussion explores how their innovative work in developing non-invasive internal body temperature measurement technology will transform the future of AI development, enhance predictive models, and drive the creation of new clinical applications, all while leveraging the interdisciplinary nature of healthcare technology.

This isn't promotional & theoretical. Just the evidence of what happens when we measure the right interventions and act on them wisely.

What if the biggest barrier to better cancer care isn't technology—it's how physicians approach treatment with ego?



In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Talia Baker, a transplant surgeon who walked away from clinical practice to solve a problem she witnessed firsthand: the liver cancer patient journey is fundamentally broken.

Dr. Baker introduces the Lori MDT project, a vision for reshaping how patients navigate fragmented cancer care. But the real conversation goes deeper—into the uncomfortable truths about institutional incentives, the care gaps between diagnosis and treatment, and why even the best academic centers are limited by their own biases. Her core argument: fragmented cancer care demands interdisciplinary collaboration and technology-driven process re-engineering. The era of incremental improvements is over. The future belongs to integrated services that cut across specialties—not siloed excellence in labs or imaging alone.

What You Will Discover:

- How the system's fragmentation and silos fail patients today

- Why 75% of cancer patients don't get multidisciplinary care

- The hardest problem: physician hubris, not technology implementation

- The wisest surgical lesson—knowing when not to operate

- Why we lost sight of focusing too much on product quality over service integration

- Building mosaics of superpowers before digital twins take over

This isn't about replacing clinicians with AI—it's about collaboration across clinicians, technologists, patients, and systems to augment what we can do together.
