April 11, 2025 • Dr. Eric Fethke

A conversation with Hugo Campos

“AI can help patients make better choices about their life and about their healthcare.”

Renowned patient advocate and White House Champion of Change, our guest Hugo Campos shares his personal journey into healthcare advocacy - revealing why he believes we are entering an era with huge potential for patients, clinicians, and the healthcare system as a whole.

But he notes a word of caution: powerful tools like AI need to be implemented carefully, in a way that encourages collaboration, promotes patient empowerment, and above all, optimises outcomes.

——

We spoke about Hugo’s journey into becoming an advocate, his interest in artificial intelligence technology, the role of the patient-physician relationship, and some of the ideas for how AI could be used in healthcare in the future.
