Manage episode 488628860 series 2969805
A conversation with Dr. Yoona Kim
Medication mismanagement is a massive issue in American healthcare.
Setting her sights on solving this problem is health economist, pharmacist, and CEO/co-founder of Arine - Dr. Yoona Kim.
Dr. Kim realized that identifying problematic medication plans can move the needle on clinical and economic outcomes, and her AI-enabled company is proof - cutting costs and saving time for providers across the country.
For patients, their work is saving lives - reducing hospitalizations, identifying potentially fatal prescriptions, and teaching the American people the importance of active involvement in their healthcare.

We spoke about how misprescribed medications affect patient experience, how these errors happen systematically, how AI is making a difference at scale, and why the use of AI in healthcare must be synergistic with human-human interaction.
