AI Literacy in Healthcare: Patient Advocacy, Medical AI & Navigating Health Tech (Part 1)

How can patients use artificial intelligence to better understand their health, and should they trust it? In Part 1 of this conversation, Sam chats with Erika Warren, founder of InsightfulMed, to discuss AI literacy in healthcare and how technology can help patients become more informed advocates for their own care. Many patients struggle to understand medical records, test results, research studies, and complex healthcare information. Erika shares how InsightfulMed was designed to help bridge that gap by making health information more accessible, understandable, and actionable for patients navigating chronic illness, rare disease, and complex medical conditions. Together, Sam and Erika talk about the growing role of AI in healthcare, how patients can use technology to ask better questions, and why health literacy is one of the most important tools for improving healthcare outcomes. They also discuss healthcare data privacy, user control, and the importance of transparency when using digital health tools. Whether you're living with a chronic illness, caring for a loved one, or simply interested in the future of healthcare technology, this episode offers practical insights into how AI can empower patients while protecting trust and privacy.
