Episode #179. Why Clinical Documentation Has Been Broken For 30 Years, with Dr. James Maisel, CEO and founder of ZyDoc
Episode Description
AI is finally eliminating the documentation burden that has slowed physicians for decades.
In this episode, Dr. James Maisel, CEO and founder of ZyDoc, shares his three-decade journey from retina surgeon to health-tech entrepreneur and how AI is transforming clinical documentation. He reflects on early attempts to build electronic health records in the 1990s, the inefficiencies created by click-heavy systems, and why dictation consistently outperformed keyboard-based workflows. Dr. Maisel explains how advances in speech recognition and generative AI now make real-time, structured clinical notes possible, seamlessly integrating into EHRs and significantly reducing physician workload. He also explores health literacy challenges, physician adoption, specialty-specific language models, and the future of AI-driven diagnostics, particularly in the context of eye imaging.
Tune in and learn how AI is reshaping clinical documentation, physician efficiency, and the future of medical practice!
