On this episode Fred and Gregg welcome Xiaopeng Zhao, PhD, Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Mississippi, whose research bridges artificial intelligence, robotics, and dementia care. Topics: Dr. Zhao discusses how machine learning techniques are being used to analyze complex EEG brainwave data to detect early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, patterns invisible to the human eye but accessible through advanced signal processing. Beyond diagnostics, his lab is deploying humanoid robotic systems to assist individuals with dementia during everyday activities such as making coffee or brushing teeth, aiming to reduce caregiver burden and improve quality of life. The conversation explores “lost moments”, short-term lapses in memory that disrupt daily functioning, and how AI systems might identify and respond to them in real time. Dr. Zhao also addresses usability challenges, patient acceptance, and the importance of human-centered design in deploying assistive technologies. With dementia affecting millions worldwide, this episode examines both the promise and practical realities of integrating AI and robotics into population health strategies.

On this special “Making America Healthy Again” edition of PopHealth Week, Fred and Gregg take on a volatile question: what happens when a legitimate prevention agenda collides with abrupt, top-down decisions across the public health infrastructure? Anchored in recent federal changes to childhood vaccine recommendations and upheaval in advisory processes, the conversation traces how trust is built - or broken - through transparency, data visibility, and scientific governance. They explore the implications of reduced routine vaccine guidance, the removal and replacement of expert advisory committee members, and the risks of “flying blind” when surveillance systems pause or disappear. With measles resurgence as a real-time stress test, Gregg and Fred challenge the false binary of “medical freedom vs. public health,” and close with practical guidance: partner with trusted clinicians and evidence-based medical society recommendations while the policy environment remains unsettled.

January News You Can Use The AI Will See You Now (Please Double-Check Its Work) AI medical tools like Open Evidence are valuable but must be used critically; Trust nothing and verify all outputs, as they require expert supervision. New AI healthcare entrants, such as those from Amazon and OpenAI, bring potential but also risks of outdated or inaccurate guidance; Wearable health devices (e.g., Apple Watch) risk overwhelming clinics with false positives, especially among the "worried well." Health risk calculators and AI should supplement, not replace, individualized care guided by a physician’s expertise. The healthcare system faces deep issues, from EMR/data abuse lawsuits to unsustainable insurance that offers poor coverage and strains emergency care.
