Scottish National Users' Group (SNUG) Podcast
Health & Fitness:Medicine
We are delighted to welcome Professor Bob Wachter in this episode of the SNUG podcast.
He is Professor and Chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), a highly influential voice in the worlds of medicine and Health IT, renowned for his book "The Digital Doctor"and the 2016 Wachter Report on NHS digitalization. He joins us to discuss a wide range of current topics, including the future prospects for healthcare, with a particular focus on the impact of digitalization, consumer expectations, and the balance between technology and human interaction in medicine.
We discuss the trends in both US and UK in terms of digitalisation, increasing demand for health care, and the impact of technology on doctor-patient interactions, as well as the rapid advancements in AI, and how healthcare delivery may be reshaped in the future.
We look at issues of trust, bias, and the potential consequences of over-reliance on machines, including “automation complacency”. And finally, we explore the dynamic use of social media, particularly X/Twitter, in combating misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Professor Wachter discusses his social media journey, emphasizing the role of trusted voices in providing reliable information during crises.
Any feedback or comments are welcome via email: andrew.mcelhinney2@nhs.scot or alex.defranco@phs.scot
