When Expertise Meets the Algorithm

In this Voices of Experience conversation, Dianne Keen is joined by Dr. Robyn Roth, a board-certified breast radiologist known as The Boobie Docs, to explore what happens when clinical expertise meets social media. Dr. Roth shares how honest, personal storytelling can help patients connect with complex health information, and why clinicians have a responsibility to use their influence carefully in a feed that can reward sensational claims.

Together, they discuss the difference between misinformation and disinformation, how fear-based breast-health claims can create confusion, and how physicians can communicate evidence clearly while staying human and professional online. The conversation also looks at patient advocacy: helping people feel confident asking questions and participating in care decisions.
