    Understanding Federated Learning: A Short Conversation on Privacy‑Preserving Med AI Collaboration⚕️

    In this episode of The Med AI Capsule, we break down federated learning through a simple, conversational walkthrough of how hospitals can collaboratively train AI models without ever sharing patient data. The discussion covers why this matters for privacy, how the workflow actually operates in practice, the safeguards needed to prevent information leakage, and the real-world limitations that still require clinical oversight. It’s a clear, practical primer on the idea of collaboration without data sharing—and why that matters for building trustworthy medical AI.

    Understanding RAG: A Short Conversation on Medical AI Reliability ⚕️

    In this episode of The Med AI Capsule, we decode RAG—how it connects AI to evidence. Instead of relying on training data alone, RAG retrieves current clinical guidelines and research before answering. We explore why this matters for clinical reliability and what still requires human judgment. Note: This audio podcast is an extension of The Med AI Capsule newsletter by Dr Avneesh Khare.

    🧠 XAI Enhances Dementia Detection, 🇮🇳 Cervical Cancer AI Scales Screening, 📜 DPDP Act and AMA Policy Reshape Health Data and AI Education, ✍️ Ambient Scribes Reduce Burnout, and More! 🚀

    In this episode of The Med AI Capsule, we look at how medicine is racing ahead and why explainable AI has become the central requirement for safe adoption. We unpack how tools like heat maps, SHAP scores, and rule extraction pull back the curtain on complex models and why these explanations are only clues about the model’s logic, not biological truth. The goal is simple: build systems clinicians can trust without surrendering judgment. We then move through the latest research and deployments. Speech-based models for early dementia show strong accuracy, but clinical readiness remains low because workflows are ignored. On the ground, startups like Vuha Med Data are scaling cervical cancer screening in low-resource environments, while AI tools are already improving safety, communication, and clinician wellbeing through infection prediction, patient-facing chat systems, and ambient AI scribes that cut burnout within weeks. We close with the policy and professional shifts that this rapid growth demands. New AMA requirements and India’s DPDP Act are reshaping training and data governance. And specialties like anesthesiology face an uncomfortable but necessary question: if machines handle the mechanics, how should clinicians redefine their role? The episode ends on the core challenge that will shape the decade ahead: using AI’s speed without losing the human connection that defines care.
