    Matthew reviews ChatGPT Health

    OpenAI just made ChatGPT Health generally available. This is their partnership with B.Well which allows you to bring your data from various EMRs into chatGPT. So I took it for a spin–Matthew Holt

    Future of AI and Telehealth in primary care — Panel discussion

    A couple of months back I hosted a conversation about my favorite topics, primary care and how telehealth and AI are changing it. The panel was Timm Schneider — Co-Founder & COO, Third Way Health, Jamie Reddick — COO, Graybill Medical Group & Erin Parks, Ph.D. — Co-Founder, Equip. The panel was at a tech heavy conference called TechCon Global in San Diego. Sadly the weather stopped us getting Matt Siegler from Akido Labs. We got into it about tech. incentives, specialty care and the role of AI in access and patient support–Matthew Holt

    THCB Spotlight Warris Bokhari, Claimable

    One of the most interesting follows on Linkedin is Warris Bokhari from Claimable. He’s a British MD, who has had stints not only as a doc in the UK, but also as a health tech and health insurance exec in the US. But now he’s at war with the system, in particular working for patients to overturn denials from insurers using AI. But what exactly is the big picture aim, and how does Warris think that he’s going to fix American health care? We had quite the discussion and we sort of agree, but also don’t. Great discussion and transcript is below the video–Matthew Holt

    Ellipsis Health

    Ellipsis Health has come a long way from its roots in detecting depression via vocal biomarkers. Sage, its charming voice AI agent, is now helping health plans and care management companies directly interact with patients and members, helping them with medication reminders, program recruitment, postop follow up and much more. I spoke with two of the brains behind Sage, COO Melissa McCool and CMO Mike Aratow. We got into what she does, what she’s good at and whether the world (or at least the health care world) needs specific voice AI specialists–Matthew Holt

    Dor Skuler, Intuition Robotics Meet ElliQ

    Dor Skuler is CEO of Intuition Robotics the maker of ElliQ — a remarkable AI robot that is a companion for seniors. I had a lot of fun meeting ElliQ and asking Dor about how she works. This is a wide-ranging interview with Dor and with ElliQ. She tells us about Florence Nightingale, what Dor should do with his kids and really gives you the idea of how she relates to seniors. There’s a ton of capabilities–you really have to watch the whole thing–but the end result is that Medicaid plans including NY and Washington State have determined that ElliQ allows people to stay at home longer and saves $$ on nursing home care. A fascinating view into the present and the future of how AI and robotics is changing the world–Matthew HOLT

    Ben Salter, SafeRide Health

    Ben Salter is the Chief Product Officer of SafeRide Health. They are one of the biggest players in non-emergency medical transport (NEMT) working predominantly for health plans that have Medicaid or Medicare Advantage members. Getting people to their appointments is a big deal–think disabled or sick people who will miss clinical appointments if they can’t get there. Ben showed a demo of how their system works, what it looks like for call center staff or members using it directly, and how that then actually gets someone a ride to where they need to go–Matthew Holt

    Samira Daswani, Manta Cares

    Samira Daswani is CEO of Manta Cares. Her career in consulting and digital health startups took a left turn when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had 18 months of visits with 123 appointments, 5 ER visits and much more. And it was very hard to manage her journey. So she built a paper based map/guide and started distributing it via hospitals in the gift shops and elsewhere. Manta Cares is the digital instantiation of that cancer map with symptom tracking and an AI chatbot on top of the map. Samira demoed it extensively for me. She raised some seed funding, and is now building it out for 80% of cancers–Matthew Holt

    Adrian Owen and Faraz Shafaghi, Creyos

    I spoke with neuroscientist Adrian Owen, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer and Faraz Shafaghi, Chief Product Officer, at neurological testing company Creyos (which rhymes with “chaos”). Their cognitive assessment platform gives a baseline of neurological function and is essentially getting objective data at a point of care. This can now be done as part of the annual wellness visit (in fact it’s officially required under Medicare!), and there are things you can do about it. We dove into how it works, Faraz showed a whole demo of the test itself, Adrian explained what the impact of testing will be, and they shared Creyos’ progress in moving into practice.–Matthew Holt
