  • Why Only Doctors Can Fix What's Broken
    Feb 10 2026

    Healthcare is at a critical crossroads where clinicians are increasingly sidelined by administrative weight and third-party interests. The path forward isn't just surviving a broken system—it’s reclaiming our roles as primary stakeholders and system architects through a unified, "Doctor-to-Doctor" movement.

    Joining us to lead this conversation is Dr. Kianor Shah, a Southern California-based oral surgeon with 20 years of clinical experience and founder of the Global Summit Institute. Dr. Shah argues that the integration of medicine and dentistry is the next frontier of patient care, with AI serving as the "divine tool" to bridge these historical silos. By leveraging predictive analysis and peer-to-peer collaboration, we can move beyond the administrative burdens that cause burnout and return our focus to clinical excellence. This mission culminates in the 2026 Global Medical Dental AI Summit in London, a landmark effort to set rigorous, doctor-led standards for AI implementation.

    Together, we explore how transitioning from a service-provider mindset to a stakeholder mindset allows us to get around industry challenges and restore the oral-systemic health connection.

    What You Will Discover:

    - On Building the Doctor-to-Doctor movement

    - The Entrepreneurial Mindset

    - Bridging the Medical-Dental Gap

    - 2026 Global Medical Dental AI Summit

  • What FDA's Step Back Means in Building Credibility
    Feb 3 2026

    The FDA stepped back. Now, organizational governance is the only thing standing between innovation and liability.

    At CES 2026, the FDA officially announced it won't regulate wellness devices or Clinical Decision Support tools—removing approval bottlenecks and accelerating innovation. But this regulatory shift transfers responsibility to healthcare organizations themselves. Who builds the frameworks for data management when there's no FDA requirement? How do health systems justify physician time reviewing continuous patient streams without reimbursement pathways? And where does liability fall in this new landscape?

    In this episode, Dr. Junaid and Ed tackle the AI governance vacuum, exploring how healthcare AI agents can scale care, from filtering patient data to managing population health. They share J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference updates on why organizational trust, rather than just regulatory stamps, is the key to successful AI in healthcare.

    What You Will Discover:

    - What changed in the regulatory landscape?

    - How the shift affects clinician workflows

    - Who should pay for clinical data platforms?

    - JPM Conference Insights

    - The importance of governance and trust

    - Biologics, biosimilars, and China competition

    - Practical strategies for continuous learning

  • From Individual Patients to System-Level Impact: A Neurologist's Journey
    Jan 28 2026

    AI transformation in healthcare isn't something happening to physicians—it's an evolution physicians can actively shape and lead.

    In this episode, we introduce our host, Dr. Junaid Kalia, a practicing neurologist who experienced healthcare's systemic failures firsthand and decided to build the solution himself. As founder of SaveLife.AI, his journey embodies physician-led innovation: combining clinical expertise with entrepreneurial action to create real transformation. Joining the conversation are his sister, Dr. Saira Kalia (academic program director), and close friend, Dr. Danish Bhatti (angel investor/advisor), as they discuss the evolution from clinician to innovator—and why "action bias" matters more than perfect planning.

    Join our panel of a private sector entrepreneur, an academic program director, and an angel investor/advisor for a peer-to-peer reality check on the barriers, breakthroughs, and lessons learned.

    What You Will Discover:

    - Meet the Panel: Neurologist, Psychiatrist, and Their Unconventional Journeys

    - Why They Stepped Outside the Traditional Clinical Pathway

    - The Reality of Physician-Entrepreneurship

    - Reason Behind Execution Failure

    - The Resistance & Barriers They Didn’t Expect
