AI in Healthcare, 'How to Be Well' Review, and Nova Scotia Health Records Update

E222 • May 12, 2025 • 14 mins

In this episode, Dr. Chi-Ming Chow introduces the discussion on AI in healthcare, focusing on patient acceptance and potential future applications. A review of the book 'How to Be Well' by Amy Larocca follows, offering insights into wellness practices. Dr. Chow then provides an update on Nova Scotia's Health Record System, highlighting recent developments. The episode concludes with an examination of methylene blue, discussing its benefits and associated warnings.

Key Points

  • AI, when introduced thoughtfully, can enhance healthcare delivery and improve job satisfaction without replacing human team members.
  • The wellness industry, despite its promises, often prioritizes financial gains over genuine health benefits, emphasizing the importance of critical evaluation.
  • Methylene blue, while medically useful for specific conditions like methemoglobinemia, should not be used casually for mood or cognitive enhancement due to potential risks and misinformation.
