AI in healthcare is framed not as a universal fix but as a practical tool to reduce administrative burdens and amplify the patient voice.

Healthcare systems are under immense pressure to improve patient experiences while simultaneously reducing costs and administrative burdens. Healthcare organizations are finding innovative ways to listen at scale and unlock insights buried in patient conversations with the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI). In a landscape where AI is often seen with skepticism, technologies that focus on real-world applications, such as conversational intelligence, are making a tangible difference. In fact, according to a recent study, AI applications in healthcare are expected to grow by 48.1% over the next five years, with a focus on improving patient engagement and operational efficiency.

In this episode of I Don't Care with Kevin Stevenson, the host dives deep into these questions with Amy Brown, Founder and CEO of Authenticx. Together, they explore how conversational data can transform decision-making in healthcare, how AI can be a tool for reducing physician burnout, and what "listening at scale" truly means for the industry.
