There are already 700 to 800 FDA-approved AI devices on the market, yet a busy oncologist still has nowhere trustworthy to learn which ones are worth their time.

In this episode, Dr. Doug Flora joins us to share how he is closing that trust gap. He is the Executive Medical Director of Oncology at St. Elizabeth's Yung Family Cancer Center and co-founder of Tensor Black, a clinician-led education platform he calls "the GPS for oncology."

We discussed the three layers of AI in cancer care, from ambient note-taking to the "co-pilot" that supports physicians, and why detection is moving upstream to the "pre-patient" stage. Dr. Flora unpacks St. Elizabeth's screening program, which has caught roughly 900 stage-one lung cancers across 65,000 patients screened, and why keeping physicians "at the wheel" matters.

From a region often called the epicenter of cancer in America, this is a founder using better tools to fight a very local fight.
