The one place in medicine AI hasn't reached Yet | Part 1 with Dr. John Green

AI is everywhere in medicine — except the one place where seconds decide who lives. In Part 1 of this episode of The IDAAHub Podcast, host Deepti Kalghatgi sits down with Dr. John Green — trauma & acute care surgeon, Professor of Surgery at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and Medical Director at Atrium Health — to explore the last frontier AI hasn't reached: acute trauma care. When a critically injured patient arrives, doctors often have half the information they need and no time to wait for the rest. Dr. Green calls it "putting a puzzle together without the box." In this first half, Deepti and Dr. Green dig into why the technology transforming so much of medicine still can't help in the moments that matter most. In this episode: Why AI has reshaped the EMR and the clinic — but not the first critical minutes of trauma The "golden hour" and making life-or-death calls on incomplete data Human intuition vs. algorithms — and what Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink" teaches trauma surgeons Dr. Green's vision for bridging the data gap between EMS in the field and the trauma bay How robotics and real-time monitoring are beginning to open the door for AI in surgery 🎧 Listen to Part 2 to hear how and where AI is already making trauma care better. 📧 Connect with IDAAHub Follow us on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/idaahub/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IDAAHUB Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3V8Vuhqkibej5fUwtwkUMx Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-idaa-hub-podcast-ai-in-finance-healthcare/id1848710327 📧 Connect with Host Host Deepti Kalghatgi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deepti-kalghatgi/ 🌐 Visit: https://idaahub.com
