aftershock. reshaping cancer care from the inside out

side effects may include...

this episode goes far beyond the clinical disclaimers. I speak with gordan, robby and yuan in the special series of colab.conversations and in this episode they share what 'side effects may include' really means—crippling fatigue, depression, unbearable pain, and isolation. we talk about what it’s like to reach the breaking point, how hard it is to talk about it, and why patient experience must be more than a checkbox in health systems from decision making to care.

fact vs feed. the health misinformation and disinformation problem

in this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Joss Reimer, President of the Canadian Medical Association (CMA), for a real talk about how misinformation and disinformation are messing with our health—literally. from the surge in measles cases to growing vaccine hesitancy, we dig into how false info spreads, why it sticks, and what it means for patients, providers, and the public. we also chat about what it’ll take to rebuild trust in healthcare and get back to facts.

AI won’t cure cancer, but can it actually help patients?

AI is making waves in healthcare, but can it actually do anything for patients beyond generic chatbot responses? in this episode of colabconversations, we sit down with the creator of AskEllyn.ai to unpack the hype, the reality, and the potential of AI-driven support in cancer care. exploring the role of AI in conversational care—how it can bridge information gaps, provide emotional support, and even challenge traditional models of patient advocacy. but where does AI fit within a system that still struggles with human-centered care ? and how do we ensure technology enhances patient experiences rather than replacing the essential human connection ?
