Welcome to the first episode of HealthTech Happy Hour, part of People Behind Progress by SciPro.Hosted by Lauren Placencia, MD, HealthTech Happy Hour creates space for candid conversations with the founders, clinicians and operators building HealthTech, about what’s working, what isn’t, and what it takes to make meaningful change in healthcare.In this episode, Lauren is joined by Dr. Kate Eisenberg, a family physician, clinical informaticist and epidemiologist working at the intersection of clinical care, data and generative AI.Together, they unpack one of the biggest questions facing healthcare today: can clinicians trust AI?They discuss what separates AI tools clinicians actually adopt from those they ignore, why workflow fit and clinician involvement matter, what good evaluation looks like when benchmarks are still evolving, and why governance cannot stop once a tool has been deployed.They also explore patient trust, AI scribes, local validation, balancing innovation with clinical rigor, and what healthcare leaders should consider when introducing AI into real clinical environments.In this episode:What makes clinicians trust and adopt AI toolsEvaluating AI in real clinical settingsBalancing innovation with clinical rigorGovernance and monitoring after deploymentPatient trust and transparencyAI scribes and the clinician-patient relationshipWhat the future of clinical AI could look likePeople Behind Progress by SciPro brings you conversations with the people shaping Life Sciences & HealthTech.
