Show Notes
When Michelle Thompson's chronic pain was repeatedly misclassified by her hospital's AI triage system, she began investigating how healthcare algorithms make life-or-death decisions. We examine how machine learning models trained primarily on male patients misdiagnose women's health issues, and explore the racial bias embedded in popular healthcare AI tools. Dr. Raj Patel shares his experience fighting against algorithmic recommendations in emergency medicine, while healthcare data scientist Dr. Emma Chen demonstrates how seemingly objective medical AI can perpetuate historical healthcare disparities.
