The Future of Medicine: AI as a Doctor's Best Partner | the Scaling Tech Podcast in Mexico

In this interview, host Arin Sime speaks with Dr. Carlo Angello Sanchez, a resident doctor in vascular surgery in Mexico City, about the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare. Dr. Carlo shares his perspective on "augmented medical talent" and how AI is changing surgical training, patient care, and reducing doctor burnout. The conversation covers: Augmented Medical Talent: How AI applications can augment medical practice in clinical settings, research programs, surgical practice, and administrative tasks, especially in Mexico where there is a lack of staff. Practical AI Use Cases: Examples range from using AI for generating surgical presentation materials, summarizing articles, and creating checklists for surgical supplies, to predicting the healing of diabetic and vein ulcers from pictures. Addressing Doctor Burnout: Dr. Carlo discusses the high number of working hours (80 and above) and how AI can reduce time-consuming activities like writing notes and preparing materials, mitigating burnout and giving doctors more time for patients. Innovation in the OR: The discussion highlights the use of devices like Meta Glasses to document surgery from the surgeon's exact perspective for training and education. Navigating Challenges: Dr. Carlo addresses ethical concerns, including the need for explicit patient consent and the removal of identifying information when using data for analysis, ensuring data remains secure within the hospital system. AI as an Augmentation, Not Replacement: The philosophy that AI is a "powerful tool" to make doctors "more productive" and augment their skills, rather than replacing them. This interview is part of a series Arin recorded in Mexico City in early 2026, exploring AI engineering and adoption in Latin America.
