Welcome to Gateway to Informatics, a podcast hosted by Dr. Philip Payne, Chief Data Scientist at WashU Medicine and Director of the Institute for Informatics, Data Science, and Biostatistics (I2DB). Each episode features conversations with prominent figures in informatics, research, and healthcare. Our podcast delves into the latest developments, challenges, and innovations in the field, with a particular focus on the integration of AI and digital technologies. By leveraging our healthcare system as a living laboratory, we aim to extract meaningful insights that advance research, save lives, and build healthier communities.
The decisions patients make about the care they receive are extremely personal. Dr. Mary Politi, today’s guest, is someone working to ensure they’re able to make the most informed decisions possible. As a Professor of Surgery in the Division of Public Health Sciences at WashU School of Medicine, Dr. Politi studies health communication and decision-making. Her research looks at how we can use data to personalize risk assessments. In our conversation, we talked about how new technologies like artificial intelligence can improve this process, but I appreciate the grounded approach she takes to make sure these technologies don’t replace the human connection but rather can be one tool that helps patients in the process.
