Solving health care's biggest challenges

For Venkat, there’s a sense of friction in health care. It’s difficult for the consumer of today to accomplish basic scheduling of health care, let alone compare price, research quality rankings, or find a physician. This makes health care unlike any other modern user experience. But there is a solution—a future of health based on coalitions working with large tech providers.

Combining our deep clinical expertise with folks who have had a combination of consumer experience and technology backgrounds will create the best possible ideas to solve some of the intractable problems in health care.

In this episode, Venkat discusses the convergence of industries shaping the future of health and where risk has a different meaning: people, lives, and health. Managing the transformation requires a careful balance to address the rapid disruption and meet the change in a manner that doesn’t undermine the patient—the center of it all.
