  • 🕗 Chief Superbowl Predictions Couldn’t Beat a Clinical Trial Ep. 267
    Feb 10 2025

    Send us a text

    On this week’s MedEvidence Monday Minute, Dr. Michael Koren and Kevin Geddings discuss the superbowl and how the predictions around the outcome - based on past experiences - were no substitute for knowing how the actual game would turn out. They relate this to clinical trials, where a hypothesis can sound sensible and have logical underpinnings, but a randomized, controlled clinical trial is needed to test that hypothesis and see if the outcome matches our predictions.

    Feb 5 2025

    Send us a text

    Technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being integrated more and more into our lives. It's fast, convenient, and can be used at home to gather more health data than ever. But how do we know if the benefits of these technologies outweigh potential risks and pitfalls?

    Dr. Mike Hafran joins Dr. Michael Koren to discuss how clinical trials can and have been used to weigh the risks and benefits of new medicines in the past and how clinical trials need to be applied to emerging healthcare technologies (and newly categorized medicines like cannabis) before they are integrated fully into the healthcare system.
