In this episode of FOBtv, Kevin Benedict sits down with Ved Sen, Head of Innovation for UK & Ireland at Tata Consultancy Services, to explore how artificial intelligence, automation, and intelligent systems are reshaping the future of healthcare. Their conversation moves beyond buzzwords to examine how AI could enhance clinician judgment, enable precision and personalized medicine, and support patients through continuous monitoring using wearables, sensors, and digital twins. They also discuss the emerging role of AI agents and robotics in care delivery, and the deeper systemic questions behind healthcare transformation—who benefits financially when automation succeeds, and how healthcare systems must evolve to fully realize these innovations. If medicine is shifting from episodic treatment to intelligent, always-on health systems, this discussion offers a glimpse into what that future may look like.Q&A///

What if the secret to thriving in an age of AI, automation, and nonstop acceleration isn’t another productivity app—but a room filled with heat, humility, and silence? In this thought-provoking episode of FOBtv, Kevin Benedict sits down with sauna culture expert Linda Helisto to explore why Finland—home of the sauna and consistently ranked among the world’s happiest nations—treats human recovery as essential infrastructure, not indulgence.
