From detecting disease earlier and personalising treatment to easing pressure on overstretched health systems, AI is already changing the way care is delivered. But technology alone isn't enough. Real progress depends on trust, responsible governance, and ensuring that innovation puts patients, not algorithms, at the heart of healthcare.    In this episode, Hans Martens, Senior Counsel at Incisive Health, speaks with Dr. Ricardo Baptista Leite, former Member of the Portuguese Parliament and Chief Executive Officer of Health AI – The Global Agency for Responsible AI in Health. Drawing on his experience at the intersection of policymaking, global health, and responsible AI, Dr. Leite explains how governments and health systems can harness AI safely, ethically, and effectively.   Together, they explore how AI could transform everything from prevention and early diagnosis to healthcare delivery and health system resilience. They also discuss the governance, regulation, and public trust needed to ensure AI empowers healthcare professionals, improves patient outcomes, and makes care more, not less, human.    This is Break the Bubble.
