SubscribeWhen we look at our organization compared to some of the very large organizations that we interact with, we can be really nimble because of the multiple hats we wear. And we can sometimes be more effective because of it. We really have a cohesive team that works together and can problem solve faster because we don't have all those different lanes so to speak.

So much of your consumer life can be transacted digitally. We can do mobile banking transactions and book flights on our phones. But when you hit the healthcare world, there's phone calls, there's faxes. I jokingly call it the lowest common denominator. If 100 percent of people can't do something on their phone then let's go to the lowest common denominator and make sure everyone makes a phone call or comes in for a face-to-face visit. But that does not meet consumer expectations. In healthcare it sort of hits this analog experience level. But it is changing.

At the end of the day, or at the end of this light in the tunnel, what we want to do is ultimately stop treating the disease and treat the patient holistically. And if we can do that using augmentation through AI, we should be able to reduce costs, reduce the number of treatments and other associations for diagnosis and get a patient in and out the door, faster and happier.
