Artificial intelligence promises faster notes, smoother workflows, and smarter clinical decisions. But behind every seamless interaction lies an invisible cost—electricity, water, and carbon emissions that rarely enter the healthcare conversation. In this episode, we trace what happens after you hit “enter” on a clinical prompt. From power-hungry GPUs to evaporative cooling systems in data centers, we uncover the hidden infrastructure fueling AI and how metrics like PUE translate convenience ...

#4 - From Florence Nightingale to AI: Revolutionizing Outbreak Surveillance
What if a 19th-century nurse laid the foundation for 21st-century disease surveillance? Florence Nightingale, widely known for her compassion, was also a pioneering statistician who used data to reveal a hidden crisis: more soldiers in the Crimean War were dying from infections than from battle wounds. Her insights led to life-saving reforms—and sparked a revolution in how we understand public health. Today, that same spirit of data-driven action lives on through artificial intelligence. In t...
