AI for Interoperability in Health Care: Philips’s Carla Goulart Peron
On today's episode, Philips’s chief medical officer Carla Goulart Peron shares how artificial intelligence is reshaping health care — not by replacing clinicians but by expanding access, improving diagnostics, and freeing doctors to focus more time on patients. Drawing on her experience practicing medicine in Brazil’s strained public health system, she explains how technologies like AI-assisted imaging and remote collaboration can bridge critical gaps in care. Carla also explores the challenges of trust, bias, interoperability, and women’s health data in the next era of AI-enabled medicine. She offers a grounded, global perspective on how technology can make health care more human. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: Dr. Carla Goulart Peron is chief medical officer at Philips.
