Robotic surgery. Virtual-reality rehab. 3D-printed implants. Technologies once called futuristic are already transforming operating rooms and recovery wards. Dr. Vishvaraj Rathod looks past the spectacle to reveal how these tools truly work, where they add value, and why the human hand still matters most. A cinematic exploration of innovation and restraint — where precision meets ethics, and technology becomes an extension of care.

Your home is turning into a quiet clinic — thermometers, blood-pressure cuffs, pulse oximeters, and smart scales now sit beside coffee makers and chargers. Dr. Vishvaraj Rathod guides listeners through which tools genuinely matter, how to interpret results without panic, and when a reading crosses into red-flag territory. Practical, measured, and rooted in clinical reasoning, this episode brings clarity to self-monitoring in the age of constant measurement.

We’ll talk about your rights to access your records, the risks of data misuse, and the red flags to watch for when it comes to privacy and security.

Your health data is powerful — but ownership, access, and interpretation aren’t always simple. Let’s unpack what patients need to know.
