In this episode of Connected with Experian, Waseem Mirza speaks to Sina Kahen, healthcare technology leader, author and specialist in surgical innovation, about what responsible AI looks like when the stakes are genuinely high.
From robotic surgery and physical AI in the operating theatre to preventative care, medical imaging and data quality, this conversation explores how healthcare organisations can adopt new technology without losing sight of patient safety, trust and human judgement. Sina explains how implant-agnostic robotics can give surgeons more flexibility, why accurate and representative training data is essential, and how AI could help healthcare move from reactive treatment towards more personalised and preventative care.
The discussion also looks at the ethical questions behind healthcare AI: who owns medical data, how different systems should communicate, why poor-quality data can be dangerous, and whether AI will ever be able to replace the human connection patients rely on at their most vulnerable.
In this episode:
- How physical AI and robotics are changing surgery
- Why human-guided robotic systems can improve consistency
- The importance of implant-agnostic technology in healthcare
- Where medical robotics could move beyond the operating theatre
- How AI could support more preventative and personalised care
- Why connected healthcare data matters
- The risks of biased and unrepresentative training data
- Why poor data quality can produce dangerous outcomes
- The importance of transparency, trust and data governance
- Why human oversight will remain essential in healthcare
- How organisations can approach transformation by identifying real pain points
- The three pillars of future healthcare: personalised, preventative and integrated care
Memorable takeaway
As Sina puts it, healthcare AI is not only about developing better tools. Its success depends on whether the data is accurate, representative and connected, and whether human judgement remains at the centre of patient care.
