MedCity Pivot Podcast: How Sentara Health is Applying Regard’s AI Platform

In this episode, we speak to a healthtech executive and a physician to see where AI tools can best be deployed in health systems

This is the second episode of Season 2, which focuses on applying generative AI and AI broadly in healthcare settings. In this episode, I have two guests: Nate Wilson, co-founder and chief operating officer of Regard, an AI-powered clinical decision support company and Dr. Joe Evans, an internal medicine doctor and the chief health information officer at Sentara Health, a not-for-profit health care delivery system in Virginia and North Carolina. 

Wilson describes how Regard’s AI platform contains both reactive/deterministic AI and generative AI and Evans explaines where such a platform has been most helpful for clinicians. Of note, where AI has found great reception with health systems is in note-taking of the patient visit. But in Evans’ perspective, AI has greater a role than reducing administrative burden in charting.
