Shownotes

Nearly 90% of cancer drugs that enter clinical development never make it to market.

Sometimes the drug doesn't work. But sometimes, the problem starts much earlier - the trial simply can't enroll enough patients.

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Chadi Nabhan, a medical oncologist, author, and host of the Healthcare Unfiltered podcast. Chadi has spent more than two decades working across oncology, from treating patients to healthcare leadership at Cardinal Health and Caris Life Sciences. He's now Chief Medical Officer at Ryght AI, where he's focused on using AI to tackle the challenge of trial enrollment.

We get into why this is a problem in the first place, and how AI can be used to solve it. We also talk about why he started his podcast, what he's learned from asking healthcare leaders the questions they don't always get asked, and where he thinks AI is actually going to have the biggest impact across healthcare.

If you're interested in where and how AI is making a difference in healthcare, this is for you.

Covered in this episode:

  • Where AI is making a difference in healthcare and what problems it can realistically solve.
  • Which concerns about AI deserve more attention.
  • How AI could transform clinical trial enrollment.
  • Why so many clinical trials struggle to recruit patients.
  • The stories from Chadi’s podcast that changed how he sees healthcare.
