The Future of Medicine Is Already Here w/ Bertalan Mesko, The Medical Futurist Institute
Episode Description
The World Health Organization projects a global shortage of 10 million healthcare workers by 2030. No training pipeline can close that gap. The only path forward runs through technology.
Dr. Bertalan Meskó, Founder & Director of the Medical Futurist Institute, joins host David E. Williams to discuss why digital health is first and foremost a cultural transformation rather than a technological one, and why the most important thing any health system leader can do right now is learn how to use AI as the connective interface between an increasingly complex ecosystem of tools, patients, and clinical teams.
