    Will ChatGPT pave the way for a new revolution in healthcare?

    In this episode of the podcast I discuss the potential applications of ChatGPT in healthcare with Dr Harvey Castro.

    Dr Castro is a physician, healthcare consultant and author, on a mission to increase awareness of digital health and implement new changes in healthcare. He has just released a new book, titled 'ChatGPT and Healthcare: The Key To The New Future of Medicine'. He is passionate about helping others to succeed in the healthcare and digital health industries and so I was grateful to have him on the podcast.
