In this episode, Dr. Vishisht Mehta, Director of Interventional Pulmonology, Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada and also the Department Chair of Pulmonology at MountainView Hospital, discusses his passion for clinical practice and emerging technologies like AI and telemedicine.
Dr. Mehta shares how his interest in AI began through vendor outreach and evolved into a deeper exploration of its applications in pulmonology, particularly in early lung cancer detection and functional imaging. He highlights the persistent underutilization of lung cancer screenings, with only 5–6% of eligible patients getting screened, and notes AI’s role in identifying high-risk individuals and managing lung nodules. He also emphasizes the value of telemedicine in improving patient access and outcomes.
Dr. Mehta has also created a resource hub – https://pulmonary.ai/ – and produced educational videos to guide clinicians in understanding and adopting AI tools. He advises that physicians must gain foundational AI literacy to make informed technology decisions in an increasingly digital healthcare landscape. Take a listen.
