S2E2: Paging Dr. Robot

Season 2 · Episode 2

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 • Duration 45:19

In this episode, Dr. Joy Evers sits down with Ada Andruszkiewicz, co-founder and COO of Talkie AI, a voice AI platform built specifically for medical practices. Although Ada is not a physician, her eight-plus years in digital health give her a rare vantage point on how AI has evolved — from clunky rule-based systems to today's large language models — and where it still falls short.

Together, Joy and Ada explore the promise of AI as an administrative partner, the hazards of hallucination and "AI wanting to please," the legal and ethical questions surrounding AI diagnosis, and the parts of medicine that may never be automated. Because medicine is both an art and a science — and while AI can offer a powerful assist with the science, the art still belongs to the humans at the bedside.
