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 ...

#7 - Predicting No-Shows: The Surprising Science Behind Missed Appointments
Why do so many doctor’s appointments end in empty waiting rooms? Nearly one in four scheduled visits turn into no-shows, disrupting care, wasting resources, and straining already overburdened systems. But a new study shows we might be able to see these gaps coming—and stop them. By analyzing over a million healthcare visits, researchers used machine learning to uncover surprising predictors of missed appointments. The top signal? How far in advance the appointment was booked. Appointments sch...
