The Maximalist AI Approach to Healthcare

The United States alone spends about $4.9 trillion dollars annually on healthcare - that's about $14,570 per person. That’s nearly double what other wealthy nations spend. Yet somehow, we have lower life expectancy, higher rates of preventable deaths, and the highest rate of medical bankruptcy in the developed world. Luckily, we're at a unique moment in history where three major trends are converging that can possibly transform our healthcare system.

First, AI has reached a level of sophistication where it can handle complex medical tasks, from analyzing scans, to predicting patient risks, to serving as a personal coach, nutritionist, therapist, healthcare advocate, and trustedadvisor to help navigate your way through the complex Healthcare landscape.

Second, new weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro are about to create a "wellness window" - millions of Americans will soon be healthier than they've been in years, creating a perfect opportunity for us to revolutionize preventive care.

Finally, we now have cloud-based digitization of healthcare and manufacturing systems, with built-in AI that could completely transform how we handle patient data, provide scalability to treatments, produce and distribute medications, making them more affordable and accessible than ever before. The question is, how do we utilize emerging technologies like AI to the fullest extent to maximize healthcare for everyone and do it at the lowest possible cost?

Listen to this week's Industry Insights to hear more about how these trends could come together to create something revolutionary for our healthcare system.
