Dr. Byron Jasper recently joined Health Literacy IRL to discuss Direct Primary Care (DPC)—what it is, what it isn’t, and why the model creates more space for patients to truly understand and use health information in real life.

The conversation covers how time, transparency, access, and thoughtful care delivery can improve health literacy, reduce friction in care, and lead to better outcomes for patients and communities.

If you’ve been curious about DPC, healthcare innovation, or what equitable, patient-centered care can look like in practice, this episode is well worth a listen.

🚨New Episode Alert!

Byja Radio | Episode 44- AI and Algorithms at the Bedside

In this season finale, Dr. Byron Jasper and PatientZero take listeners inside where artificial intelligence actually stands in healthcare today. From voice-dictated clinical notes and automated appointment reminders to abnormal lab flagging, pharmacy refill predictions, and even insurance approvals, AI is quietly embedded in modern care delivery.

The hosts explore how these tools can reduce administrative burden, improve efficiency, detect problems earlier, and create more time for meaningful patient-doctor interactions. The episode then turns to the ethical implications, unpacking how AI inherits the biases of its training data and what that means for equity, trust, and patient outcomes—especially as algorithm-driven decisions become more common.
