PLI Ever Current Podcast Episode 16: Dr. Yauheni Solad, former Vice President of Innovation at UC Davis Health and a leading Digital Health expert, discusses AI in health care with Bill Tanenbaum. They explore how generative AI is a source of best practices by providing up-to-date knowledge and identifying when research has been superseded, communicating best practices faster, and reducing administrative burdens to allow physicians to allocate more time to medical care. Dr. Solad covers the difference between specialized and fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs), and stresses the importance in health care of using open LLMs and transparency as a way to validate data and identify biases and outdated information, as well as the importance of correctly formulated Generative AI prompts in health care.
