Permanente Live webinar: Digital health and Al: Hope, hype, and hard truths

OAKLAND, Calif., Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- National health care leaders from Kaiser Permanente and the Peterson Health Technology Institute will share insights on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital health tools during a free Permanente Live webinar on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.

From patient-facing apps that help manage chronic conditions to AI-powered ambient listening that aims to reduce physician burnout, digital health tools are reshaping care delivery. Clinicians now have technology that flags abnormal results in real time, supports faster decision-making, and streamlines care team communication.

However, behind the buzz, hard questions remain: Do these tools improve patient outcomes? Can they reduce costs and save time? Are they adding value to clinicians and patients, or just adding steps?

Who: 

• Caroline Pearson, executive director, Peterson Health Technology Institute
• Kristine Lee, MD, associate executive director, The Permanente Medical Group
• Stephen Parodi, MD, executive vice president, The Permanente Federation (Moderator)

What:

• Considerations for leaders determining which digital health solutions or technologies to adopt
• The next frontier for AI and digital health
