In the inaugural episode of Intelligent Anesthesia, host Dr. Larry Chu, MD, a Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain medicine at Stanford University, embarks on a journey exploring the intersection of technology and anesthesiology. Joined by two distinguished guests, Alex Goodell, MD, an AIM Lab fellow, and Dara Rouholiman a machine learning engineer in the AIM Lab, the conversation delves into the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) in revolutionizing healthcare and anesthesiology.

Dr. Goodell shares his insights on the applications of LLMs in clinical settings, from customizing patient documentation to assisting in rare disease diagnosis. He highlights the importance of evaluating and addressing the limitations of these technologies while emphasizing their potential to enhance patient care and communication.

Dara Rouholiman brings a unique perspective, having transitioned from academia to industry and back again. He discusses the differences in approaching AI and machine learning in these two domains, stressing the significance of balancing general AI models with domain-specific knowledge in anesthesiology.

The guests also share their personal journeys and the moments that sparked their passion for integrating technology into healthcare. Dr. Goodell recounts his frustrations with inefficiencies in medical processes and his drive to find innovative solutions. Dara Rouholiman emphasizes the importance of understanding the problem before rushing to create a solution, highlighting the value of active listening and collaboration.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Chu facilitates an engaging discussion on the ethical considerations, practical challenges, and immense potential of AI in anesthesiology. The conversation serves as a call to action for anesthesiologists to embrace interdisciplinary collaboration and to actively participate in shaping the future of the field of Anesthesiology.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
