Five Minutes in Healthcare - Ben Scharfe

par Philip F. Jacobus, CEO | March 04, 2026
Ben Scharfe
Five Minutes in Healthcare is where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders.

Today I am joined by Ben Scharfe, EVP of AI at Altera Digital Health, for a conversation about artificial intelligence in healthcare and what it takes to implement it responsibly. We explore best practices, regulatory considerations, and future prospects.

Ben shares his views about how AI can support healthcare professionals without replacing them and emphasizes the importance of skepticism and validation.
