A year ago, 400+ healthcare execs told us how they expected AI to be adopted. This year we asked where the value actually landed.

What stood out to me: returns came 2x faster than expected and the average ROI that healthcare customers are seeing is 3-4x within 12 months!

Our "2026 Healthcare AI ROI Scorecard" report with @BainandCompany shares insights from 226 execs over 65 use cases.

Mike and Josh are two of the best and brightest founders I have ever worked with. They share so many great insights on this week's episode of @hoh_pod on their journey from residency to building one of (if not the) fastest growing health AI companies and the most successful exit in the sector to date. For anyone working in health AI, this is a must listen IMHO!

A new episode of @hoh_pod is live!

@stephenkraus talks with Dr. Michael Gao & Dr. @joshgeleris, co-founders of @DxSmarter about 18 months with no customers, a pivot that made no sense on paper, & the path to a billion+ acquisition.

I could ask Eric Larsen a million questions as he is one of the most brilliant thinkers in our industry and his most recent piece entitled "Healthcare's Oppenheimer Moment" (link below) is a must read! But this time I turned the question asking over to our @hoh_pod listeners and it made for what I think is a very interesting and informative discussion about how healthcare will adopt and adapt to this one-in-a-generation moment.

A year ago, Eric Larsen and I recorded an @hoh_pod episode called "Why Healthcare Is Totally Unprepared for AI." It won a Webby. A lot has changed since then, and now we want to hear from you.

Eric and I recorded a follow-up a few weeks ago and are going to do one more later this month to tackle your biggest questions, so drop them below by Friday, June 12th

It's May and thankfully the weather is changing for the better, but that's not the only change. Finally on this month's @hoh_pod , we discuss peptides other than GLP-1s! What's not changing though is the fact that AI continues to dominate the news stories that @mtesquivel and I discuss on this month's Digital Health Download. You can listen here:
