In this episode of the Prosperous Doc®, our host Shane Tenny, CFP®, welcomes Dr. Harvey Castro to discuss the future of AI and Chat GPT in healthcare and medicine. Dr. Castro walks listeners through his own entrepreneurial experience within the healthcare sector and how he foresees AI being used to provide quality healthcare for patients.
Dr. Harvey Castro is passionate about many things: healthcare and tech being two of them. Luckily, for the medical world, he has found a way to marry those passions and help others succeed in the healthcare and digital health sectors.
Dr. Castro has authored several “Chat GPT Healthcare” books and has even invented multiple apps to increase digital health awareness and implement new changes in the healthcare industry. He hopes to join a corporate board, where he will be able to further share his expertise and contribute to the growth and success of AI in healthcare.
“I started playing with Chat GPT, and it reminded me of the time when I created an ‘IV meds’ app and how it changed patient care. And I thought, ‘This is going to change the way we do medicine. And this is going to change the way we see our patients and patients see our doctors.’ So, I wrote a book from 10,000 feet high on how to use this technology and how to look at it. From January to now, I have written 10 books on different subjects of Chat GPT and how to use it because I see so many uses that I think we're just in the beginning stages of this technology,” says Dr. Castro.
Name: Dr. Harvey Castro
What he does: Dr. Castro is a physician, healthcare consultant, former CEO, and serial entrepreneur with extensive experience in the healthcare industry. He is also the author of the "Chat GPT Healthcare” books and creator of multiple healthcare apps. Dr. Castro hopes to improve and increase awareness of digital health and implement positive changes in the healthcare field.
Words of wisdom: “Doctors, lawyers, programmers, patients — anybody that wants to know more about this — we are going to make a difference together. And that's my take home: learn more about AI. I call it the good, the bad and the unknown — learn all those things — and then together, let's work on things so we can help our patients.”

Top takeaways from this episode
[02:07] Tech differences: Dr. Castro walks listeners through the differences between Chat GPT and Google, with a useful analogy.
[03:21] Fact check: The term “AI Hallucination” refers to a confident response by an AI that does not seem to be justified by its data, either because it is insufficient, biased or too specialized. Therefore, users should always double-check the information they get from Chat GPT.
[04:02] Not so new: Although it has been getting a lot of news coverage in the last few months, AI isn’t entirely new. Dr. Castro gives examples of how AI has been in existence for a long time.
[08:07] Use it wisely: Dr. Castro discusses how he used Chat GPT and prompt engineering to help outline his books.
[13:39] Bio vs. Chat: While Chat GPT has been fed information on all sorts of different topics, Bio GPT strictly has medical information and should, therefore, be able to provide more accurate answers.
[22:59] Crossroads ahead: Dr. Castro goes over what he foresees as some ethical challenges or considerations in the crossroads of AI and healthcare — for instance, bias in Chat GPT.
[27:18] The wrap-up: Here are some key takeaways Dr. Castro hopes listeners will walk away with. Interested listeners can head to AI.com to try out Chat GPT.
