ep 32: AI & LGBTQ Healthcare
Tue Jan 07 2025
One of the most rewarding use-cases of AI is providing access of life changing services to minority populations who are underserved. Nowhere is this more true than in the medical field, and specifically in the quote-unquote niche field of LGBTQ Health.
Today’s guest is Dr. Roy Zucker, Director of LGBTQ Health Services at Clalit, Israel’s biggest HMO and chairman of the Israeli LGBTQ medical association.
We chat about the state of LGBTQ medicine in Israel, difficulties for LGBTQ patients trying to seek access to services and what his vision is for using AI to improve LGBTQ healthcare.
We discuss how doctors need to adapt to the AI age, and the fact that AI chatbots can provide safe spaces and be more compassionate or with less judgement to LGBTQ patients and give them services, as well as using AI for harm reduction in drug use and how that relates to getting past the safeguards of public Generative AI.
