AI and the Medical Industry – Episode 3

Real Medical Breakthroughs Already Attributed to Artificial Intelligence

In this episode of AI and the Medical Industry, we explore real, peer-reviewed medical discoveries that have already been made possible by artificial intelligence—moving beyond theory and into real-world clinical and research impact.

Artificial intelligence is now accelerating medical discovery in ways that were previously unimaginable. From mapping protein structures at a global scale to identifying new drug candidates, antibiotics, and diagnostic tools, AI is reshaping how medicine is researched, developed, and delivered.

In Episode 3, we discuss how AI has already contributed to:

• Large-scale protein structure prediction that accelerates drug design
• AI-discovered drug candidates entering human clinical trials
• Identification of novel antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacteria
• Earlier and more accurate cancer detection using imaging and pathology AI
• Predicting cancer drug resistance before treatment failure
• Accelerated vaccine and immunotherapy design, including mRNA-based approaches

This episode is designed for physicians, researchers, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in how artificial intelligence is transforming medicine from the laboratory to the clinic.

Artificial intelligence in healthcare is already transforming how doctors practice medicine. AI is now embedded inside medical offices, outpatient clinics, and electronic health record systems across the healthcare industry.

In Episode 2 of AI and the Medical Industry, Tony Hernandez explains how physicians are using artificial intelligence in clinical practice today, with a focus on AI integration with electronic health records, AI medical scribes, ambient clinical documentation, clinical decision support systems, and physician workflow optimization.

This episode explores how healthcare AI systems securely access and analyze EHR data through modern integrations such as APIs and FHIR-based interfaces, enabling real-time documentation, clinical decision support, medication management, and care coordination.

Listeners will learn how artificial intelligence supports pre-visit planning, patient encounters, and post-visit follow-up without replacing physician judgment or clinical responsibility.

Designed for physicians, healthcare administrators, medical professionals, and healthcare IT leaders, this episode also addresses healthcare AI governance topics including HIPAA compliance, data privacy, regulatory oversight, accountability, and clinical safety.

This educational episode focuses on real-world, production-level healthcare AI applications currently used in medical offices and outpatient care settings.

Podcast Description

AI in Medicine: Utah’s New Prescription Program

This podcast examines Utah’s pioneering effort to integrate artificial intelligence into medical prescription renewal and clinical decision support. It explains how AI-assisted systems are being used to help licensed healthcare professionals evaluate prescription refills, streamline care, and improve patient access—while maintaining strict medical oversight and regulatory safeguards.

Listeners will gain insight into:

• How Utah’s new prescription program works
• The role of AI in supporting (not replacing) physicians
• Patient safety, data privacy, and compliance considerations
• Legal and ethical boundaries of AI in healthcare
• Why Utah’s model could shape future healthcare policy nationwide

Created for patients, clinicians, policymakers, and healthcare innovators, this podcast delivers a clear, practical overview of one of the most significant developments at the intersection of medicine, regulation, and artificial intelligence.
