Join us as we explore the critical issue of carceral censorship and its impact on incarcerated individuals’ access to health information. Our guest is Brian Tuohy, an assistant professor of bioethics, who shares his perspectives on the challenges and ethical considerations surrounding this issue. We’ll discuss real-life stories like that of Kwaneta Harris, who faced severe health challenges while in solitary confinement due to the lack of accessible health education. Together, we’ll examine the reasons behind the censorship of health literature in prisons, its detrimental effects, and what medical professionals and advocates can do to bring about change.

Brian Tuohy is an assistant professor of bioethics.

They discuss the KevinMD article, “Left in the dark: the censorship of health literature in prisons.”

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.
