An Iron Man Suit for Healthcare

Ami Bhatt - FDA Digital Health Chair

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ami Bhatt, a cardiologist who practiced for years at MGH and now serves as the Chair of the FDA’s Digital Health Advisory Committee and CIO of the ACC Dr. Bhatt brings a rare perspective of how digital health can navigate clinical care, AI, and regulation.

We explore why modern healthcare feels increasingly strained despite unprecedented advances in data and technology, and how the explosion of information has pushed medicine beyond what any human can reasonably process alone. Dr. Bhatt explains where AI is already creating real value, particularly in administrative workflows and diagnostics, and why its most important role is augmenting clinicians rather than replacing them. Finally, we look ahead to what the future could hold: from AI-enabled clinicians and personalized health baselines to digital twins and a more patient-centered, preventive healthcare system.
