Dr. Castro shares how his love for the adrenaline and quick thinking in high-pressure environments led him to specialize in emergency medicine. He also mentions his fascination with the variety of cases and the opportunity to be a family doctor. Later in the conversation, they touch upon the most emotionally challenging experience Dr. Castro had in the ER, which was dealing with a 21-year-old overdose and informing the father of his son's death. Despite the passage of time, the memory still remains vivid for him. Dr. Castro also expresses his passion for AI in healthcare and the momentum he sees in its adoption by doctors and healthcare professionals worldwide.

00:05:00 With Dr. Harvey Castro, they discuss the importance of understanding cultural differences and emotional connections in healthcare. Dr. Castro shares his personal experiences with inadequate healthcare and the need for change. He explains how working in the ER led him to explore the world of artificial intelligence, specifically in the context of language translation and cultural sensitivity. He shares how AI could help bridge cultural gaps and improve communication between healthcare providers and patients from diverse backgrounds. For instance, he mentions the example of a patient from Egypt with asthma who doesn't speak English. In such a scenario, AI platforms like ChatGPT could be used to create coloring books with visual explanations of healthcare concepts, making it easier for the child to understand their condition. Overall, the conversation highlights the potential of AI in addressing language barriers and cultural differences in healthcare.

00:10:00 In this section of the podcast episode titled "The Future of ChatGPT in Healthcare", Dr. Harvey Castro discusses the potential use of ChatGPT in simplifying medical explanations for patients. He shares how ChatGPT can help doctors create customized visual aids, like coloring books, to explain complex concepts to patients. Additionally, ChatGPT's multilingual capabilities can bridge communication gaps between doctors and patients who speak different languages. Dr. Castro emphasizes the importance of effectively communicating medical information to patients, as some may not fully understand complex diagnoses or instructions. He believes that integrating AI into healthcare can help doctors explain concepts more clearly and effectively, ultimately improving patient understanding and care.

00:15:00 Dr. Harvey Castro discusses the applications of generative AI, such as ChatGPT, in healthcare education and communication. He emphasizes the importance of education in understanding complex issues, using the example of spousal conflicts. In healthcare, Dr. Castro believes that AI can help patients understand disease processes better by using their language, culture, and examples specific to them. He also suggests using ChatGPT to explain discharge instructions or answer questions about blood work results before consulting a doctor. By bringing AI to doctor's appointments, patients can have more productive conversations with their healthcare providers. Dr. Castro concludes that AI does not replace physicians but rather enhances the standard of care by providing better-prepared patients and more efficient communication.

00:20:00 Dr. Harvey Castro explains how he sees AI as a tool that could replace some routine tasks, such as transcribing patient histories, allowing doctors to focus more on patient interaction and decision-making. Dr. Castro also shares examples of how AI could enhance patient care, such as suggesting potential diagnoses or treatments that doctors might overlook due to exhaustion. However, he acknowledges ethical challenges, including the potential for misuse or overreliance on AI, and the need for doctors to maintain their expertise and judgment. He emphasizes the importance of integrating AI into healthcare systems in a thoughtful and responsible manner.

00:25:00 Dr. Harvey Castro discusses the potential of ChatGPT in healthcare. He highlights the high IQ of ChatGPT, which is similar to that of humans like Elon Musk and Einstein, and compares it to a best friend who is always available to provide answers. Dr. Castro emphasizes the importance of doctors using ChatGPT as a tool, but verifying the information with experts before making decisions. He acknowledges the skepticism of some physicians towards AI, especially those with more years of experience, and suggests that acceptance of AI depends on individual perspectives. Dr. Castro also emphasizes the need for healthcare-specific large language models, like ChatGPT, which are trained on healthcare information, patient records, medical studies, and medical textbooks, to ensure accurate and reliable information.

00:30:00 In this section of the podcast episode "The Future of ChatGPT in Healthcare", Dr. Harvey Castro discusses the potential use of a medical GPT model integrated with Electronic Medical Records (EMR). He explains that the medical GPT would function as a supplement to the EMR, with a database housing all medical information for various specialties. The FDA's role in approving such a system as a medical device is also mentioned. Dr. Castro expresses his excitement about the potential learning benefits for medical students and doctors, as the AI could help recognize patterns and provide more accurate diagnoses. The ethical implications of AI-assisted diagnoses and potential liability for doctors are also touched upon. Ultimately, the doctor's responsibility remains the same, as the AI does not hold a medical license.

00:35:00 Dr. Harvey Castro discusses the potential impact of AI, specifically ChatGPT and robots, on healthcare. He highlights the importance of doctors documenting AI-identified conditions to avoid legal issues and the benefits of AI in streamlining processes, such as stroke diagnosis. Dr. Castro also emphasizes the significance of physicians being involved in the decision-making process regarding the implementation of AI technology in hospitals. The discussion also touches upon the potential impact of both large language models like ChatGPT and physical AI robots in healthcare, with Dr. Castro expressing his belief that both will play a significant role in the future of healthcare technology.

00:40:00 Dr. Harvey Castro shares that Radiology could be significantly reduced from a human standpoint with AI's ability to diagnose from images. Moreover, there could be robots that physically touch patients and create diagnoses or offer additional thoughts to physicians. Dr. Castro believes that these advancements could be a reality within the next year, with investments from companies like OpenAI and Tesla. He also shares his thoughts on the comparison between ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, predicting that ChatGPT will lead the market due to its partnership with Microsoft and its potential to dominate the healthcare sector.

00:45:00 In this section, Dr. Harvey Castro discusses innovative applications of AI in healthcare. He mentions his collaboration with Pwn AI, which aims to bring hospital services into homes through devices like a toilet analyzer and a portable ultrasound AI. Castro also shares his work on creating large language model platforms for hospitals and clinics, focusing on reducing hallucinations in AI responses. Additionally, he introduces a podcast project where they clone voices and create AI-generated conversations, imagery, and social media posts. The leverage for Castro lies in the input, which can be a simple request for a conversation about a new healthcare treatment, and the AI will generate a conversation between two cloned voices with imagery included, ready for social media posting.

00:50:00 Dr. Harvey Castro explains how AI technology can be used to extract accurate medical information from articles and present it in a conversational format, with the human in the loop to ensure the information is relevant and positive or negative as required. Dr. Castro envisions using this technology to create more content for patients, such as diabetic articles, without having to spend long hours creating content himself. He also shares his background in using technology to solve problems in healthcare, from creating the first IV Med app to using ChatGPT to write books on various topics including AI and crime solving.
