In today’s world of infinite information, the real challenge isn’t finding health content, it’s knowing what to trust , what to ignore , and what to take back to your doctor . In this episode, Pulkit sits down with Dr. Aparajita Praharaj De , who works at the intersection of science, clinical evidence, and digital healthcare communication . With a unique lens shaped by years as a clinician and her current work in medical affairs, Dr. Aparajita breaks down one big question in plain language: What exactly is “medical affairs,” and why does it matter more than ever post-COVID? Together, we explore how digitalization has improved access to medical information but also created an ocean of noise through social media, misinformation, and overconfident AI responses. Dr. Aparajita explains how medical affairs helps bridge the gap between clinical trial evidence and real-world clinician practice by simplifying complex data, supporting the design of studies, enabling peer-to-peer scientific dialogue, and helping clinicians stay aligned with evolving guidelines. We also dive into the idea of Human + AI partnership in healthcare: AI can be an enabler, a filter, and a reference point but it can’t replace clinical judgement. The real power lies in using AI responsibly, checking credible sources, and having open conversations with your doctor instead of self-diagnosing. This conversation is not medical advice, it’s a perspective-driven discussion to help you navigate healthcare more responsibly.
