    The Case for Physician Collaboration in the Age of AI

    Medicine has always been a team sport. But in an era of information overload, growing subspecialization, and rapidly evolving AI tools, one big question remains: how do doctors get the right knowledge, from the right experts, at the right time? In this episode of Smart Medicine, Dr. Scott Sigman sits down with Dr. Rohan Ramakrishna, an award-winning neurosurgeon, surgical neuro-oncologist, and co-founder of Roon, to explore the future of physician collaboration. Together, they unpack the real dangers of medical misinformation, the limitations of one-size-fits-all AI, and why trusted, doctor-to-doctor knowledge-sharing may be one of the most important opportunities in modern care. Dr. Ramakrishna also shares how Roon evolved from a patient education platform into a space where physicians can exchange ideas, pressure-test their thinking, and learn across specialties.  If the future of medicine is smarter, it may be because great clinicians are no longer thinking alone.

    The ROI of Compassion and the Technology That Unlocks It

    What if one of the most effective ways to improve the bottom line… is simply being more compassionate? In this episode of Smart Medicine, Dr. Scott Sigman sits down with Dr. Anthony Mazzarelli—Co-President and Co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care—who makes a bold case for what he calls Compassionomics: the idea that compassion isn’t just good medicine; it’s measurable, scalable, and tied to outcomes leaders care about. And when it comes to the “how,” Dr. Mazzarelli argues it’s the right technology that can unlock more human care. From “big AI” to “little AI,” as he calls it, investing in the tools and the training that free up clinician time is the ingredient he’s seen transform care at scale, and it could do the same for your organization. So if innovation and compassionate patient care are topics you care about, Dr. Mazzarelli is a leader you’ll want to hear from.
