How AI Podcasts Are Changing Medical Education:

The Jellypod Story of Professor Kris Vanhaecht

Professor Kris Vanhaecht wanted to reach his students in a more meaningful way. As a professor at KU Leuven, one of the oldest and largest universities in Belgium, he teaches future doctors about patient safety and quality care. Traditional lectures and classroom recordings just weren’t connecting, especially when the subject matter was sensitive or when students needed flexibility.

That’s when he turned to Jellypod. Instead of recording live classes or making lengthy videos, Kris began using Jellypod’s AI podcast platform to transform his lectures and teaching materials into audio episodes. He discovered he could not only save time, but also help his students absorb information in new, healthier ways. One student even told Kris he listened to a new episode every night while taking a walk, making study time both productive and relaxing.

The Breakthrough

The breakthrough really came with voice cloning. Kris wanted to share his podcast with his parents, who speak French, but he isn’t fluent. Using Jellypod, he created a French-language episode in his own voice. His parents had no idea it was generated by AI. The voice sounded just like him. That small family moment opened a big door. Suddenly, Kris could make content in multiple languages for colleagues and students all over the world, without needing to record in each language himself.

Requests started coming in for different French dialects and German. With voice cloning, Kris realized he could connect with a global classroom. He no longer had to worry about language being a barrier. The technology made it easy to share his expertise and reach more learners.

Podcasts Change How People Think

Podcasting also allowed Kris to go deeper. Instead of just repeating lecture slides, he could summarize complex research, talk honestly about the challenges clinicians face, and highlight “mango moments”—those small acts of kindness that create positive memories for patients and their families. The feedback from listeners was incredible. Students said it helped them feel less alone. Healthcare professionals from other countries found value in hearing relatable stories about success, struggle, and growth in medicine.

Kris noticed something else. His colleagues began using his podcasts as resources for their own teaching, especially in other countries where his material was relevant. His reach kept expanding. He started to see his work show up in new places, and engagement grew on platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and LinkedIn.

The Winning Moment for Jellypod

What made Jellypod stand out was the support and adaptability. When Kris had questions, the team answered quickly and helped solve problems. He felt like he was part of a community of educators and creators using AI to break down the old barriers in education.

For Kris, AI podcasts are much more than a tool. They are a way to connect, to inspire, and to share important knowledge with a new generation of medical professionals. Whether it’s translating his voice, making research easier to understand, or simply giving students a reason to take a healthy walk while they study, Jellypod helps him make an impact every day.
