You can read the full interview on my blog: https://ms-perspektive.com/101-sdm-ai

In today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, the intersection of medicine and technology is transforming the way we approach patient care, treatment and long-term health management and artificial intelligence (AI) and shared decision making (SDM) is at the center of it all. Dr. Sven Jungmann, physician and entrepreneur combines two important areas of expertise. With his medical background and passion for tackling broader healthcare challenges, Dr. Jungmann has expanded his focus beyond the confines of hospitals and is committed to the power of digital solutions, artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in improving healthcare systems.

In this interview, Dr. Jungmann discusses the critical role of AI and digital tools in the management of chronic conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and provides insights into how technology can support both patients and healthcare providers. He also emphasizes the need for intelligent, ethically responsible healthcare solutions that free up doctors and nurses while improving the patient experience. Through his entrepreneurial activities, his writings and his research, Dr. Jungmann continues to advocate for change with the goal of creating more efficient, humane and patient-centered healthcare.

Table of Contents Introduction – Who is Dr. Sven Jungmann?

It's a pleasure to have the opportunity of making a small contribution here, Nele. Thank you so much.

I'm a physician by training who realized early on that I wanted to tackle the bigger challenges in healthcare—beyond the walls of a single clinic or hospital. Don't get me wrong: We absolutely need dedicated doctors and nurses who serve patients one-on-one. But I also believe we need people who can help multiply the impact of practitioners through technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital tools.

Right now, too many healthcare systems are on the verge of financial collapse. We're not training enough healthcare providers, and many of those who are trained end up frustrated by bureaucratic hurdles, way too many overhours, poor working conditions, and low payment (many people are still surprised when they find out how little many doctors actually earn). If we want sustainable, high-quality care, we need to embrace automation and digital solutions as much as possible in a smart, ethically responsible way. This includes everything from shared decision making to leveraging modern sensors and AI.

Personally, I love working across different disciplines—whether with engineers, designers, psychologists, economists, or physicists. It stretches my thinking and brings such a diversity of perspectives. Being an entrepreneur compounds this thrill: practically everything becomes your playground, and while that can be intense (I'll admit it's hard to "switch off"), it's also incredibly rewarding.

How and where can interested people follow your research activities?

I'd love for people to connect with me on LinkedIn, where I regularly share updates and insights. I'm also planning to get more active on YouTube with short talks and interviews about the intersection of healthcare, AI, and entrepreneurship. And my company's new website will go live soon: www.aiomics.io

I hope this interview has sparked your interest in trying out the new solutions available, while being aware of the possibilities and limitations of AI in shared decision making.

See you soon and try to make the best out of your life,
Nele
