Even with successful procedures like knee replacements, 20–25% of U.S. patients are unhappy with their outcomes.

At the @second_op_media Summit, Jay Shah, MD (@concurrencehq) and Prakash Jayakumar, MD, PhD (Optum; Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin) spoke on how AI-powered predictive analytics can help close the gap between patient expectations and reality, and why decision intelligence, strong data foundations, and patient trust will shape the next era of healthcare.

I was so excited to get @Adampellegrini on the pod. He has seen it all from stints at Walgreens during the Elizabeth Holmes era, CVS, and startups selling into almost every healthcare GTM.

Don't miss this episode!

Healthcare doesn’t need another big idea. It needs simple ones that work.

@TytoCare CEO @Adampellegrini has seen healthcare from just about every side: Army medic, Microsoft, Walgreens, Fitbit, CVS Health, and startups like Jasper and Kaia Health. He argues the future of remote patient monitoring is health systems and plans building it into the standard of care themselves. We also get into why @TytoCare's urgent care partners are seeing NPS scores of 92, the prescription “pizza tracker” he built at Walgreens, his visit to Theranos, and more.
