Doctors are using ChatGPT in clinic and not all care about privacy (Health.Tech 2026)
Faces of Digital HealthShow Notes
Doctors are using ChatGPT in clinic right now — and some of them don't care about privacy. Three operators on what that means for healthcare AI.
Recorded live at health.tech in Basel, this panel from Faces of Digital Health unpacks the convergence reshaping clinical software: ambient AI scribes, agentic AI in healthcare, on-device LLMs, and the regulatory drag (MDR, EU AI Act, EHDS) that is widening the gap between what clinicians actually use and what hospitals are allowed to buy.
Host Tjaša Zajc is joined by:
Jonathan Bringas — CEO & Founder, Lapsi Health (Kaiku: FDA-cleared AI stethoscope, ambient scribe and clinical assistant in one device)
Blaž Triglav — CEO, Mediately (drug information platform, 1M+ HCPs across Europe)
Amanda Herbrand — Clinical data modelling consultant, formerly University Hospital Basel
What the conversation covers: — Why EHR data fragmentation is the precondition AI hasn't solved — Shadow AI: why clinicians trust ChatGPT more than enterprise tools (and the agency hypothesis behind it) — The convergence of stethoscopes, scribes, drug information and decision support into one workflow layer — ROI in healthcare AI: financial, time, clinical accuracy — and Herbrand's fourth dimension, user satisfaction — "Doctors were the original vibe coders": the 2,000 Excel spreadsheets running European hospitals — Why FDA-cleared beats MDR in 2026 sales cycles, and what Chile's regulatory minimalism tells us — The asymmetry that will break European medtech: applicants using AI to build, regulators forbidden from using AI to assess — On-device AI, ambient computing, AGI in clinical workflows — and the de-skilling risk no one wants to discuss
