Will AI eliminate primary care — or finally give primary care physicians their time back?

That's the central question driving this episode, as Dr. Junaid Kalia, Dr. Harvey Castro, and Ed Marx sit down with Dr. John Dayton — an ER physician who has evaluated healthcare startups as an angel investor, built pilots at Intermountain Ventures, and is now raising a $5M fund. He brings a rare view of what AI looks like from the bedside, the boardroom, and the cap table. Dr. Dayton maps how AI decisions actually get made inside health systems: why a technology has to align with the CEO's mission, the CFO's budget, the CTO's existing stack, and clinical staff's real workflow — and why losing any one of those four is where most implementations quietly stall.

For physicians and healthcare enthusiasts who want to separate signal from noise — and understand whether the tools landing on their unit deserve to be there — this is the peer-to-peer analysis that conference keynotes never deliver.

What You Will Discover:

- Intro: John Dayton's origin story

- Why He Never Really Left Medicine

- How hospitals actually make AI decisions

- Is an MBA worth it if it's not free?

- The Decision Making Approach Inside Health Systems

- The Two Questions Nobody Answers Directly

It's not about whether AI is ready for clinical use. It's about whether clinicians are ready to guide patients who are already using it.

You already know not every AI tool belongs in your workflow. The real question is whether your filter is sharp enough to tell the difference.

In this episode, Dr. Junaid Kalia and Dr. Harvey Castro sit down with Dr. Hansa Bhargava, Chief Innovation Officer at Healio and a physician who has spent her career building trust at scale, to examine what trustworthy clinical AI actually looks like from the inside. They trace how the content integrity crisis predates AI, why clinician-in-the-loop development is the clearest signal of a tool worth adopting, and how evidence-sourced curation is the only real defense against sophisticated noise at the point of care.

The stakes go deeper than adoption. Who carries the legal weight when AI-assisted decisions go wrong? And are the physicians leaning into AI today quietly trading long-term clinical judgment for short-term efficiency? This episode doesn't evaluate the tools — it reframes what's actually at risk.

- Her North Star: Better Patient Outcomes

- Is Clinical Research Already Compromised Before AI?
