S4E18 - AI, Patient Safety, and the Future of End-of-Life Medicine with Dr. Fred Mirarchi

Returning guest Dr. Fred Mirarchi, DO, joins Claire O’Berry to discuss the critical intersection of technology, ethics, and end-of-life care.

As CEO of MIDEO, LLC (My Informed Decision on Video) and Chair of the National Palliative Care Committee for USACS, Dr. Mirarchi has led groundbreaking research (the TRIAD Studies) revealing how often advance directives are misinterpreted — and how a short, personalized video can save lives by clarifying patient intent.

In this episode, they explore:

  • Why AI and video tools are transforming modern medicine

  • The growing trend of lawsuits for “wrongful prolongation of life”

  • The dangers of outdated, paper-based advance directives

  • New challenges in palliative and hospice care in the U.S.

  • Ethical implications of AI-guided medical decision-making

Dr. Mirarchi’s call to action is clear: take charge of your own care through informed decisions and documented clarity.
