The worlds of healthcare and artificial intelligence (AI) are colliding in revolutionary ways. In this thought-provoking conversation, Alex Romanovich speaks with Isaac Chapa, CTO and co-founder of Simpl Healthcare, and Mihir Shah from NetWeb Software about how Agentic AI is transforming digital health platforms.
We dive into the real-world implementation of AI in clinical settings and regulated segments, where Simpl Healthcare has created a guided approach that prioritizes accuracy over speed. As Isaac explains, "We are giving the AI engine specific direction on what to look for and what to output based on the input data." This measured strategy has produced remarkable results, significantly reducing clinician workloads while maintaining data integrity.
The discussion tackles the provocative question: Will AI replace software engineers? Despite bold proclamations from tech giants, both experts emphasize that human expertise remains irreplaceable. The actual value comes from understanding how AI changes the development process rather than eliminating it. "AI should be thought of as tools to optimize, not replace," Isaac notes, comparing the evolution to how spreadsheets transformed accounting without eliminating accountants.
Specifically in healthcare, AI offers solutions to the critical challenges facing the industry. With projections showing significant clinician shortages in the coming decades, AI-powered efficiency tools could help bridge these gaps while improving patient access to medical records. Yet these innovations must navigate strict regulatory environments where patient data security remains paramount.
Whether you're an entrepreneur exploring the implementation of AI, a developer concerned about the future of the field, or a healthcare professional interested in technological advancements, this conversation offers valuable insights into balancing innovation with human expertise. The future belongs not to those who fear technology but to those who can bridge the gap between technical capabilities and real-world business needs.
Listen now to understand how the collaboration between human ingenuity and artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare delivery for the better.
