Welcome to Episode 091 of the Beyond the Diagnosis Podcast. In this episode of Beyond the Diagnosis, Kathy sits down with hematologist Dr. Richard Godby from Mayo Clinic to explore the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in rare disease and healthcare. Together, they unpack how AI is already helping patients and physicians navigate complex medical information, shorten diagnostic journeys, improve advocacy, and potentially accelerate research and treatment development. Dr. Godby also shares practical guidance on how patients and caregivers can begin using AI thoughtfully and responsibly while understanding its limitations, risks, and ethical considerations. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or already experimenting with AI yourself, this conversation offers a fascinating and hopeful look at how technology may reshape the future of rare disease care.
