  12. AI Patients that Talk Back | Silo Med AI

    In this episode of The HealthCast, host Phil Zappone sits down with the team behind Silo Med, a platform creating AI-powered patient simulations for medical education.
    Dr.
    Richard Selinfreund, Andrew Primous, and Elijah Meldrim explain how clinical expertise, storytelling, software engineering, and generative AI come together to create realistic virtual patients that medical students and residents can interview, diagnose, and learn from in a safe environment.
    The idea began with a failed attempt to build a traditional medical video game. The team quickly discovered that preprogrammed simulations could not anticipate every question, decision, or mistake a learner might make. The emergence of generative AI changed that by allowing virtual patients to respond dynamically and adapt to each conversation.
    The result is a training platform designed to identify both knowledge gaps and behavioral gaps before learners begin treating real patients.
    The team explains why medical education should evaluate more than whether a learner reaches the correct diagnosis. Strong clinicians must also build trust, recognize when patients are withholding information, respond to emotional concerns, and maintain the human relationship at the center of care.
    Phil and the Silo Med team also discuss accessibility, real-time scoring, responsible AI, accreditation, global medical education, veterinary applications, and the challenges of earning trust in a crowded AI market.

    Afspelen
    In this episode of The Healthcast, host Phil Zappone speaks with Shlomit Liberty, founder of Patient Path NYC, about helping patients and families navigate some of the most overwhelming and confusing moments in healthcare.
    Shlomit began her career as a medical speech-language pathologist, specializing in swallowing disorders, communication, and cognition in adults recovering from serious illness, surgery, and acquired brain injuries. Her work placed her at the center of complex medical decisions involving nutrition, rehabilitation, discharge planning, and collaboration across specialties.
    Over time, she noticed a recurring problem: patients and families were often surrounded by highly skilled clinicians but still did not understand what was happening, what their options were, or what questions they needed to ask.
    That realization led Shlomit to become a board-certified patient advocate and launch Patient Path NYC.
    She describes her role as medical crisis management—serving as a bridge between patients, families, and hospital teams. By reviewing medical records, attending conversations, translating clinical language, tracking recommendations, and helping coordinate communication, she works to ensure that important information does not fall through the cracks.
    Phil and Shlomit discuss the emotional importance of eating and swallowing, the difference between educating patients and policing their decisions, and why informed consent requires more than quickly asking, “Do you have any questions?”
    The conversation also explores discharge planning, rehabilitation options, conflicting medical recommendations, medication timing, independent versus hospital-employed advocates, and the potential for technology and AI to help patients become more informed participants in their care.

    In this episode of The Healthcast, host Phil Zappone speaks with Dr. Kristi Reguin-Hartman, President of the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses, about nursing leadership, clinical transformation, healthcare technology, and the future of medical-surgical nursing.
    Dr. Reguin-Hartman shares the experience that first inspired her to pursue nursing: caring for a college student who had become paralyzed after a traumatic hockey injury. A single line he later wrote—“In the mornings, it was better”—showed her how meaningful it could be to make even a small difference in someone’s life.
    She reflects on her journey from earning an ADN to completing a DNP, the mentors who encouraged her to accept opportunities before she felt fully prepared, and the philosophy that has shaped her career: say yes.
    The conversation also examines some of the most urgent challenges facing nurses today, including unsafe staffing levels, excessive workloads, limited autonomy, difficult work environments, and the continued misconception that medical-surgical nursing is simply a starting point rather than a complex specialty.
    Phil and Dr. Reguin-Hartman discuss why nurses must be included in healthcare technology design from the beginning, how health systems can improve technology adoption, and why clinical workflows should be built around the people who will actually use them.
    The episode closes with a look at the future of nursing, from virtual and corporate nursing roles to AI, advocacy, professional recognition, and the importance of ensuring that the best voices—not simply the loudest—shape healthcare’s next chapter.

    Dr. Coskun shares how caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic changed the direction of her career and ultimately led her to geriatrics. She also reflects on the mentors and patients who shaped her approach to medicine, including the responsibility physicians have when guiding people through serious diagnoses, cognitive decline, end-of-life decisions, and other defining moments.

    The conversation explores what makes geriatric medicine different from traditional adult medicine, including the Four M’s of age-friendly care: what matters most, medications, mobility, and mind. Dr. Coskun explains why deprescribing, fall prevention, cognitive screening, social connection, and care planning are essential to helping older adults maintain their independence and quality of life.

    Phil and Dr. Coskun also discuss ageism, the shortage of geriatricians, gaps in long-term care coverage, caregiver burden, and the growing need for home-based services. They examine practical programs that can improve outcomes and reduce costs, including adult day services, comprehensive geriatric assessments, frailty screening, hospital-at-home models, and the Hospital Elder Life Program.

    The episode closes with a look at how technology—including telemedicine, point-of-care ultrasound, fall-detection wearables, and AI—can support the deeply human side of geriatric care.

    In this episode of The Healthcast, host Phil Zappone sits down with Dr. Bei Zhang, an MD-PhD educator working at the intersection of pathology, medical education, and healthcare innovation. Lees meer

    Dr. Zhang shares how a lifelong curiosity about living things led her to pathology—a field where biology and detective work come together to uncover how and why disease develops. She also reflects on her early passion for teaching, the mentors who shaped her career, and why she views education as both a privilege and a responsibility.

    The conversation explores where traditional medical education is struggling to keep pace with a rapidly changing healthcare environment. Dr. Zhang explains why future physicians need more than clinical knowledge: they must learn how to filter overwhelming amounts of information, understand emerging technologies, collaborate across disciplines, and apply what they learn in authentic patient-care settings.
    Phil and Dr. Zhang also discuss online education, virtual patient simulations, barriers to innovation within academic medicine, and the importance of introducing patient-centered learning from the beginning of medical school.

    When it comes to artificial intelligence, Dr. Zhang describes AI as a powerful but “wild horse”—capable of taking healthcare and education to extraordinary places, but only when both the technology and its users are properly trained. She shares how she incorporates AI into learning sessions with her students to strengthen their questioning skills and critical thinking rather than allowing the technology to replace the learning process.

He highlights the system's features, including a living encyclopedia that provides context and information on medical terms, and its potential to democratize medical education by making it accessible and free for users worldwide.
