Dr. Nicole Saphier kicks off 2026 with two powerful goals: reducing digital overload and improving patient care. She shares her personal mission to spend less time on her phone and be more present—with patients, family, and herself—in a world of constant notifications and digital distraction.

On the professional front, Nicole breaks down new changes to the prior authorization process under Dr. Mehmet Oz’s leadership. She discusses how streamlining approvals, reducing paperwork, and increasing automation could finally remove barriers that delay medical imaging, prescriptions, and treatment—improving outcomes for both doctors and patients.
