Description

Welcome to another powerful and personal episode of The AI-Ready Doctor podcast. Today, hosts Dr. Hassan Bencheqroun and Dr. Alin Gragossian take us deep into the world of organ transplantation a space where every second matters and lives hang in the balance.

This conversation is especially poignant as Dr. Gragossian shares her unique perspective, not just as a critical care physician and medical director at an organ procurement agency, but also as a heart transplant recipient herself.

The episode explores the intricate, high-stakes world of organ donation and transplantation, the importance of compassionate communication, and the ways modern technology including AI could revolutionize how organs are matched and care is delivered. Together, Hassan and Alin also discuss the crucial need for trust and transparency in the transplant process, equity in access to life-saving therapy, and the untapped potential of AI to improve not just operational efficiency but also the patient experience.
