The Lancet Digital Health in conversation with

The Lancet Digital Health editors, in conversation with the journal’s authors, explore their latest research and its impact on people’s health, health care, and health policy. A monthly audio companion to this open access journal, this podcast covers a broad range of topics, from using machine learning to predict mortality in prostate cancer and the need for feminist intersectionality in digital health, to how algorithms can predict a patient's race from medical data, and more.
