Last time, we spoke with the co-creator of DAX Copilot, Dr. Jared Pelo, about what DAX can actually do and the questions it raises about AI and the future of medicine. But today, we’re not just continuing that conversation—we have news. Dr. Pelo is back to share a major development, and talk about what this news means for physicians, patients and the future of clinical practice. Not only does Dr. Pelo break this exciting news with us, but he answers some important questions and offers thoughtful examples to help us understand just how the latest breakthroughs will impact the way clinicians everywhere go about providing their care.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jared Pelo, the co-creator of DAX Copilot, to delve into the origins and future of the AI-powered clinical documentation solution. Discover how DAX Copilot aims to revolutionize medical workflows, the challenges it faces, and the potential it holds for transforming patient care. Tune in to hear insights from the creator himself on the evolving role of AI in healthcare and what lies ahead.

As the owner of a small clinic and a member of his local hospital’s executive committee, Dr. Robert McDermott has a unique perspective into the challenges and rewards of integrating new technology on a variety of scales. Join us as he shares his experiences implementing and using DAX Copilot as a documentation assistant. Dr. McDermott first saw what the AI-powered solution did for his own practice, and later advocated for its use on a larger scale. Join us as he discusses his approach.

Dr. Alfred Atanda joins us to discuss the stress and anxieties of managing a busy clinic and the inefficiencies in healthcare workflows. He highlights how DAX Copilot, an AI-powered solution, helps by recording patient visits and drafting medical notes, improving efficiency throughout his clinic as well as patient care.

Dr. Theresa Nguyen highlights the impact of burnout on both doctors and patients, emphasizing that nearly half of physicians report feeling its effects. She explains how DAX Copilot, an AI documentation and clinical workflow assistant, has significantly reduced her stress by automatically creating structured notes from doctor-patient conversations. This technology allows her to spend more quality time with patients and reduces the time spent on documentation after work.

Dr. Patrick McGill delves into the seemingly unavoidable issue of physician-patient disconnect and examines whether AI-powered solutions can help bridge that gap. Dr. McGill, a family clinician from Indianapolis, IN, openly discusses how his initial skepticism about the power and practicality of AI in the exam room was alleviated by the significant improvements it brought to his daily workflow.

Imagine a world where doctors spend more time with patients—and less on paperwork. This season on DDx, we explore DAX Copilot, an AI assistant that listens to doctor-patient conversations and drafts notes for medical records. We’re asking doctors what it’s really like to use this technology. Does it help? Does it get in the way? And what does it mean for the doctor-patient relationship when AI is in the room too? Real stories from the frontlines of healthcare. Season 11 of DDx is coming soon.

After a lifetime of treating her rare bone disease, X-linked hypophosphatemia, a patient is at the end of her rope. She’s in pain, frustrated, and nothing seems to help. So when a clinical trial presents itself, her doctor isn’t sure she’ll want to participate. While the decision to participate is surprising, the results of the clinical trial are astonishing.

A 45-year-old is out for a drive. As she accelerates her stick-shift car, she starts to experience familiar, and scary, symptoms: facial tingling, numbness around her mouth, and her hands cramp and lock onto the steering wheel … Her story takes many wrong turns, but eventually she is diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism, a rare bone disease, and finds an experimental treatment that changes her life.

A 9-year-old cannonballs into the shallow end of the pool. There’s a stab of pain through her hip. What seems like just a bump takes a complicated turn.
