Cognitive Atrophy Is a Leadership Crisis: Mohan Nair on Why Healthcare's AI Obsession Is Costing Us Our Best Thinking

In this episode of Digital Health Talks, host Megan Antonelli, CEO of Health Impact Live, sits down with Mohan Nair, innovator, author, and former Chief Innovation Officer at Cambia Health Solutions, to explore what it truly means to stay human in an AI-obsessed world. Mohan's newest book, Unreachable: How Not to Lose Your Mind in an AI-Obsessed Era, is already an Amazon bestseller, and the conversation is as timely as it is thought-provoking.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• Why AI adoption is creating cognitive atrophy and how the concept of "inconvenient learning" means removing friction from work may be costing us our most valuable skills
• How healthcare leaders should distinguish between AI enablement and AI obsession, and why the physician-patient relationship remains fundamentally unreachable by any machine
• Mohan's take on the rise of Chief AI Officers and how to find your own AI-unreachable value, the insights and instincts no technology can replicate
