About this episode

Hugo Campos discusses patient data rights and the impact of generative AI on healthcare innovation.

This week on Pulse: Amplify, Louise and George sit down with patient advocate and AI Champion, Hugo Campos. Hugo Campos has spent nearly two decades fighting for a simple principle: patients should have access to the data generated by their own bodies. After discovering that his implanted cardiac defibrillator was sending information to clinicians and manufacturers—but not to him—he became one of the world's leading advocates for patient data rights. In this episode, Hugo explains why generative AI changes everything. Rather than waiting for hospitals or vendors to build better tools, patients can now create their own AI-powered applications, analyse their own health data and ask questions that matter to them. We discuss patient-directed AI, the rise of personalised "N-of-1" healthcare, critical AI health literacy, and why the next wave of healthcare innovation may come from patients themselves—not institutions.
