Brain Gamer, the app Dr. Kumar designed, gives you nine quick games that work different parts of your thinking, knowledge, logic, and planning, in about the time it takes to wait for coffee. Play three free games a day, or go unlimited for a small monthly fee.\nA surgical robot trained on 100,000 cases can be smart on day one, maybe smarter than a surgeon with decades of grey hair to show for it. That should feel backwards. Every surgeon learns that older surgeons are safer than younger ones, because judgment and a feel for anatomy only come from years of cases and complications. So what happens when a machine skips that apprenticeship entirely and shows up already trained on more cases than one surgeon could see in a lifetime?\nRavi's guest is Ryan Estes, a serial tech entrepreneur who runs a holding company in Denver with a portfolio of service agencies, software, and media brands. One of those brands is AI for Founders, where Ryan interviews startup founders building in AI, technology, and robotics, with AI in medicine as a recurring theme. He livestreamed years ago on Justin TV, before it became Twitch, and he says he's not a doctor and doesn't play one online, though he listens to Ravi's episodes at least twice to keep up.\nMost of what's broken in medicine isn't the medicine, it's the paperwork around it. Ryan points out that of your appointment time, you might only get about thirteen minutes with your actual physician, the rest eaten by clipboards, iPads, and insurers. Ravi has lived the fix on one side: AI scribes that used to take him as long to chart as the visit itself now produce a note in about a minute, so a slot that used to buy five minutes of face time now buys thirteen or fourteen. On the other side, he describes surgery requests denied in a split second, even for patients who can't walk, and his read is that insurers are counting on busy doctors not appealing.\nThey also walk through where automation makes...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1b0HAhl7LyS1JMvttJBUPVo13Xhw89dNIYFNVWa7Un0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83NGVi/ODc5ZmE2MTI0Njdj/NWRjODE2NTkzNTQ0/ZjY0Yi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
