Unlocking AI’s Potential in Healthcare | Peter Durlach | Episode 10

Unlocking AI’s Potential in Healthcare — with Peter Durlach What does it take to move artificial intelligence from pilots to production in healthcare? In this episode of ReAligned Healthcare, Peter Durlach, Chief Strategy Officer at Microsoft Health & Life Sciences, joins Dr. Yauheni Solad to unpack how AI is reshaping care delivery, operations, and research. 💡 Key Insights: * Scaling AI requires more than technology — platforms, governance, and workflow integration are essential * Ambient intelligence is reducing physician burnout and freeing time for patient care * Agent-based approaches (like tumor board automation) show how AI can act as a “digital colleague” * Incentive misalignment remains the biggest barrier to healthcare transformation * True value comes from solving defined problems, not chasing pilots or hype Peter reminds us: AI should be a co-pilot, not an autopilot — augmenting human expertise and enabling clinicians and leaders to focus on what matters most. 🎧 Join us to explore how healthcare can harness AI for real, measurable impact. 📺 YouTube: https://youtu.be/Bx3EY6UJaJ4 [https://youtu.be/Bx3EY6UJaJ4] 🌐 Web: https://realignedhealthcare.com [https://realignedhealthcare.com] 🍎 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/realigned-healthcare/id1774154668 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/realigned-healthcare/id1774154668] 🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3GbadYS9j20q5NJ1fg7yUe [https://open.spotify.com/show/3GbadYS9j20q5NJ1fg7yUe] #ReAlignHealthcare #HealthcareAI #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #ValueBasedCare #HealthTech
