Show Notes

The Big Unlock · Ed Lee, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer, Nabla

In this episode, Dr. Ed Lee, Chief Medical Officer at Nabla, shares how AI is moving beyond hype to reshape real-world care delivery. Drawing on his experience at Kaiser Permanente, he emphasizes that the true goal of technology is not efficiency alone, but restoring the human connection in healthcare.

Dr. Lee explores why change management, not the technology itself, is the hardest part of AI adoption, and why clinician involvement from day one is non-negotiable. He challenges the early narrative around time savings, arguing that the deeper ROI of ambient AI lies in reducing cognitive burden, restoring joy in medicine, and rebuilding the patient-physician relationship. He also looks ahead to the next frontier: clinical decision support, diagnosis capture, and chart summarization woven seamlessly into workflows. Dr. Lee’s closing thought is simple but powerful – done right, AI shouldn’t feel technical. It should feel human. Take a listen.

This guest appearance was facilitated through conversations initiated at HIMSS.
