Thanks to Michael Stamatinos of Advancing Healthcare Innovation Consortium for this insightful sit-down with SwitchPoint CEO Ray Guzman about innovating the status quo in healthcare. Ray led SwitchPoint into the AI game more than a decade before it became fashionable. The reason: traditional approaches did not seem up to the challenge of solving the increasingly complex business problems of healthcare. AI, on the other hand, might just have a shot. Flash forward and we're amidst an AI gold rush. What's valuable today isn't the AI models themselves - as Ray puts it, "Those have become table stakes." The value of AI lies in the utility of its models. What problem is this solving and does it have a broad scope? Why does it matter and to who? What is the workflow for the end user? How is it actionable? This is the train of thought that led to breakthrough solutions like Polaris Health and Winnow, AI super-startups that have disrupted entrenched healthcare challenges to create huge impacts, improving the costs of and access to care. Thank you for highlighting an extraordinary leader, Michael - indeed "as humble as it gets and as good as they come." A worthy look into the mindset and approach of a true innovator, with lessons for anyone who wants to build a better mousetrap. #ai #healthtech #healthcareinnovation
