We sit down with Roxanne Becker, a lifestyle medicine physician, to discuss the urgent implications of the first human case of H5N1 avian influenza contracted from a dairy cow. We explore how zoonotic diseases like H5N1 and COVID-19 can rapidly mutate and lead to pandemics, the role of intensive farming practices in the spread of these diseases, and the importance of shifting to a whole-food, plant-based diet. Roxanne sheds light on the public health recommendations to prevent zoonotic diseases, the impact of antibiotic use in animal agriculture, and how our dietary choices can reduce the risk of future pandemics.

Roxanne Becker is a lifestyle medicine physician.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “Eating our way to the next pandemic.”

Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.

Together, Microsoft and Nuance are leveraging their rich digital technology and advanced AI capabilities to tackle some of health care’s biggest challenges. AI-driven technology promises to revolutionize patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. DAX Copilot combines proven conversational and ambient AI with the most advanced generative AI in a mobile application that integrates directly with your existing workflows.

Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 85 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Discover AI-powered clinical documentation that writes itself. Visit https://nuance.com/daxinaction to see a 12-minute DAX Copilot demo.
