Are you ready for the next wave of AI in healthcare?
In this episode of Smart Medicine, Dr. Scott Sigman sits down with Dr. Edmund Jackson, co-founder and CEO of Unity AI, to unpack what agentic AI really means for the future of care.
Dr. Jackson traces the path of AI in medicine, from predictive and generative AI to reasoning models and autonomous agents now stepping onto the scene. From there, he highlights some of the places agents are already showing up: scheduling, operations, revenue cycle, and the complex logistics inside hospitals and private practices.
Together, they explore why trust and explainability matter, what technical humility looks like in practice, and why the future depends on technologists and clinicians working together. From the race to regulate to the role of patients navigating care in their own language, this conversation is an important look at where AI in medicine goes next.
