AI is finally mature enough to move out of the way so nurses and clinicians can put humans back at the center of care.
In this episode, Mary Varghese Presti, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Health and Life Sciences, discusses how global clinician shortages and rising acuity are colliding with an “AI frontier” that can reshape documentation, workflows, and patient outcomes. She shares her personal story as the daughter and former nurse who saw workforce gaps firsthand, then explains why Dragon Copilot for nurses was built to relieve documentation overload and capture the “invisible” work nurses do at the bedside. Mary breaks down the leap from copilots to agentic services, where digital colleagues take on predictable, nonclinical tasks and surface patterns clinicians would miss, as in Stanford’s AI-enabled tumor boards. Finally, she paints a future of hybrid human–digital teams and ambient, background technology that restores time, presence, and dignity to care.
