AI in Innovative Solutions and Healthcare with Dr. Ruben Amarasingham
If I don’t know AI, am I going to fail? This is a question many of us wrestle with. Dr. Ruben Amarasingham, a physician, founder, and lover of art, says, “Be the domain expert first, and figure out how AI applications will help enhance your domain.”
In this episode of #PODWalk, join me as I sit down with Dr. Amarasingham to discuss the transformative role of AI in healthcare and beyond. Dr. Amarasingham, MD, MBA, has a fascinating journey from literature, coding, and science to founding Pieces Technologies, Inc., a healthcare solution specializing in clinical decision sciences. His personal mission, “Helping Those Who Help Others,” guides his work, from his MD at UTSW to his MBA and post-doctorate in biomedical informatics at Johns Hopkins.
Key Takeaways:
Medicine and Passion: As a mother of a pre-med student, I was curious about his choice of medicine despite the high burnout rate. Dr. Amarasingham's answer about the “golden age of medicine” and his evolution from physician to founder reassured me.
AI and Domain Mastery: As a professor of New Product Innovation at SMU Cox, I wanted to know, “If I don’t understand AI, am I going to fail?” Dr. Amarasingham’s advice to be a master of your domain first and then leverage AI applications was enlightening.
Patient-Physician Experience: As a patient, I explored how Pieces Technologies is enhancing the patient-physician interaction, allowing more meaningful dialogue and empowering patients with information.
This delightful conversation covers diverse perspectives and thought-provoking insights, perfect for marketers, technologists, new AI learners, or anyone curious about healthcare.
