Drew Ungerman on patient-centric care, leadership, and technology

As I said, at the core, healthcare is people taking care of people in their most vulnerable moments often.

And technology can really help us do that better.

But it's a highly regulated environment.

The first rule for anyone who goes through any clinical training is do no harm.

So we have to manage risk very, very carefully.

whether that's technology or AI or any other aspect of the ecosystem.

And so we're learning how to do that as the metabolic rate continues to increase for the enhancements that are happening in technology.
