Ashok Soota on AI, Ethics & Technology in Healthcare","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2836,"description":"Are Algorithms the New Stethoscopes?\nWhat started as a routine medical visit changed the course of Mr Ashok Soota’s life. A senior doctor warned him of an urgent condition. The diagnosis was grave. But a few more opinions revealed something startling!\nThere was no problem at all.\nThat discovery led him to a bigger question: How much of what we call healthcare is built on trust, and how much on technology?\nIn this episode, Dr Akash Ryall, Director of Bethany Institutions, sits down with Mr Soota, the visionary behind Mindtree and Happiest Minds, to unravel the quiet revolution happening in hospitals, labs, and even classrooms.\nWhat if algorithms could hear what stethoscopes can’t?\nWhat if the future of medicine lies as much in data as in empathy?\nAnd what if the real cure begins long before the first symptom appears?\nThis conversation moves from personal revelation to public reflection, touching on ethics, prevention, and the promise of technology that heals without replacing the human touch.\nThe bell may ring, but this lesson is just getting started.\nTune in! ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ZYdWx5mJG-dIxKTLQwIimAHeppyvXQ3N60oL1LWdixw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84OThi/Y2U3NGYzZDMyNTUy/OWIzZDE4YzFkY2Iz/MWMwZi5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
