Shownotes

Have you ever typed a question about your health into an AI chatbot, gotten an answer, and then wondered to yourself, “should I trust this?”

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, One in three Americans now turn to AI bots for health advice.

And while tech giants welcome this surge in demand, until very recently, we had no real data on how accurate these models actually are. Well, I’ve got the latest AI accuracy data and today, I get to share it with you.

Welcome to the Better Medicine Podcast, I’m Dr. David Zodda, a physician specialized in knowledge translation and I turn research into strategies to help you make better decisions about your health.

In Act One of today’s podcast, I break down just how accurate these AI bots really are when it comes to your health. We’ll explore why these tools can get perfect scores on medical board exams and yet can fail dramatically when it comes to real life.

In Act Two, I walk you through three science-backed strategies you can start using today to put AI to work for your health. I’m going to teach you how to use AI bots to get the most out of your next doctor's visit. I’ll then show you how to use AI tools to decode complex medical terms. I’ll even show you how to turn these bots into your own personal wellness coach to help you build agency and healthy habits that last.

Whether you’re looking for ways to better use AI for your health or you just want to know if they can be trusted, today’s episode is for you.
