How healthy do we want to be? Medicine with AI.
Patients arrive with the AI’s diagnosis. Physicians ask what is left of their role. A talk about what is really shifting in medicine, from a physician who brings clinical AI into hospitals.
Medicine is changing in four places at once: in diagnostics, which now sees patterns no human can see in the time available; in prevention, which moves from the population average to the individual; in documentation, which for the first time can cost less time rather than more; and in the time this frees for patients, or does not.
What does not shift matters just as much: the judgement about when an output does not hold, the relationship in which a diagnosis is accepted at all, and the responsibility a machine cannot carry. I am a physician, the author of “Wie gesund wollen wir sein?” and the founder of a company bringing AI into about 50 hospitals. The talk keeps the balance between what works today and what conference slides claim.
And it answers the question every medical audience asks: from the family doctor to Dr. AI, how bad is it? The answer is optimistic, concrete and free of faith in technology, with a practical part on handling patients who arrive informed by AI.
What the room leaves with
What AI takes over in five years and what it does not
A sober list for diagnostics, prevention, documentation and communication, sorted by what already helps in daily practice.
Dealing with Dr. AI in the waiting room
How physicians handle patients who come with a diagnosis from a chatbot, without defensiveness and without surrender.
What changes for the system
What insurers, pharma and medtech can expect when patients use AI: demand, information, liability, trust.

Why me
- I am a physician and wrote the book whose question the talk carries.
- I build clinical AI for hospitals and know the distance between a conference slide and a ward from my own work.
- Booked by medical congresses, societies, a regional physicians’ association and pharma, since 2016 in German and English.
Professional, engaging and highly knowledgeable, he delivered a keynote that brought a sharp and highly relevant perspective on the challenges of fragmented diagnostics, data quality and how integrated diagnostics fit into the future of clinical decision-making.

Questions organisers ask about this talk
Does the talk work for a mixed audience?
Yes. For specialist audiences the clinical examples go deeper; for mixed audiences the cases come from everyday life. Both are settled in the scoping call.
How technical does it get?
No model is explained and no formula is shown. It is about what the technology does in daily practice and what that means for physicians, patients and organisations.
What does the keynote cost?
Keynotes start at €5,000, plus travel, VAT and the agency’s fee. Medical societies, chambers and non-profit organisers get adjusted terms. Athenas sends the quote inside the working day.
Which question does your audience ask about tomorrow’s medicine?
Send the date, the audience and the occasion. Athenas manages my calendar and answers inside the working day.
