From Intake to Outcome with Agentic AI - Insight Health

In this episode, we speak with Jaimal Soni, co-founder and CEO of Insight Health, about automating the clinical operations stack for independent specialty practices using agentic AI. Jaimal explains how Insight Health's Magic Flow orchestration layer strings together multiple AI agents to manage the full patient journey, from intake through scheduling and chronic disease follow-up, while their Safe AI framework ensures patient safety in real time. With 4 million patient encounters facilitated across 85-plus specialties in under three years, Insight Health is helping independent clinics resist consolidation by eliminating the administrative burden that consumes a third of physician time.

Why Doctors Win at Healthcare Entrepreneurship - Curology

In this episode, we speak with Dr. David Lortscher, founder of Curology and a board-certified dermatologist, about building the first telehealth platform to combine custom compounded medications with direct-to-consumer acne care, growing it to $200 million in revenue and 5 million patients treated. He shares how he licensed himself in all 50 states, drove consultation costs to $5, and built a 50,000-square-foot compounding pharmacy from scratch. We also explore his broader thesis on physician entrepreneurship, including why doctors are statistically and structurally positioned to build the most valuable companies in healthcare.

Reinventing the Pharmacy Cabinet - Omnicell

In this episode, we speak with Jason Woosley, Chief Product Officer at Omnicell, about bringing Silicon Valley product thinking to pharmacy automation. Jason shares how his background scaling Magento and the Adobe Commerce Cloud is shaping a new approach to hardware, software, and team structure at Omnicell, including a shift toward cloud-based infrastructure, agile AI-assisted teams, and a modular hardware strategy built around continuous delivery. We discuss how innovations like the Titan XT cabinet and the XR2 robot are reducing the cognitive burden on pharmacists, giving them back time to focus on direct patient care.

Reimagining Primary Care with Agentic AI - Lumeris

In this episode, we speak with Dr. David Carmouche, Chief Medical Officer at Lumeris, about using agentic AI to solve the primary care shortage. He explains how Lumeris built Tom, a 24/7 AI care team member named in honor of co-founder Tom Doerr, that handles proactive outreach, symptom triage, visit preparation, and clinical decision support grounded in real patient data. We discuss why safety and hallucinations have not been the obstacle many expected, how physicians are responding to AI-generated care recommendations, and why the biggest barrier to the future of primary care is not technology but the outdated fee-for-service payment model.

Listening Deeper: The AI Stethoscope Reimagined - Lapsi Health

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Jhonatan Bringas Dimitriades, co-founder and CEO of Lapsi Health, about Keikku, an FDA-cleared device that merges digital auscultation, ambient AI scribing, and voice biomarker analysis into a single clinical platform. Jhonatan explains how Lapsi Health is rethinking the stethoscope not as a niche device, but as the hardware foundation for a comprehensive healthcare AI ecosystem. We discuss the challenges of building medical hardware on a lean budget, navigating FDA Class II clearance and ISO certification, and conducting clinical trials in pediatric cardiology in Peru, and why the future of clinical AI must go beyond documentation to truly capture the full value of a patient consultation.
