For the 112th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Fatih Mehmet Gul, MD, CEO at The View Hospital – Cedars-Sinai (in Doha, Qatar), to talk about a CEO’s view on healthcare technology!

Then, we discuss the expectations he has of AI as a CEO – what he’s excited for, what he’s nervous of, and what he’s scared of. We then shift our attention over to Dr. Fatih’s book Connected Care.
