Human-Centered Healthcare in
the Age of Technology

In this episode of the BetterHealthTech Podcast, we explore how healthcare leaders are balancing innovation with compassion in an increasingly digital world.

Is technology making healthcare more accessible  or unintentionally widening the gap?

Host Shelby Soto sits down with Desiree Powell, a health science professional, science communicator, entrepreneur, and combat veteran, to unpack the realities of AI adoption, ethical communication, and the future of healthcare innovation.

As AI continues to reshape clinical workflows from decision support to automation ,this conversation dives deeper into the gaps between innovation, education, and real-world implementation.

We discuss:

  • Why AI adoption in healthcare is slower than expected
  • The growing gap between medical education and technology
  • The risks of misinformation and overhyped AI solutions
  • Ethical responsibilities in clinical AI communication
  • AI bias and its impact on underserved populations
  • Whether HealthTech is truly democratizing healthcare


This episode is a must-listen for healthcare leaders, innovators, and professionals navigating the intersection of
technology, ethics, and patient care.
