Headwinds in Public Health: How AI can Help Drive Progress
Today I'm talking with Dr. Scott McNabb, a 20-year CDC veteran and founder of Public Health Practice, about a critical blind spot in American public health: real-time disease surveillance. Dr. McNabb is pioneering a solution using ethical AI to automatically convert medical records into actionable intelligence for public health officials, while protecting patient privacy. We also explore the "One Health" movement that's connecting veterinarians and physicians to catch outbreaks faster—and why this moment of technology & political disruption might have come at exactly the right time.
