Mike Woodruff: AI Can Transform Healthcare. But Only If We Get This Right

What if the biggest problem in healthcare isn't a lack of innovation—but innovation aimed at the wrong targets? In this episode of Go-To-Market, host Amy Osmond Cook sits down with Mike Woodruff, Executive Medical Director at Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah, to discuss one of the most complex challenges facing entrepreneurs, healthcare leaders, and policymakers today: how to make healthcare more affordable, accessible, and effective for patients. Drawing on more than two decades as an emergency physician and healthcare leader, Mike shares a candid look at the realities behind America's healthcare system, why many common assumptions about health insurance are inaccurate, and where innovators should focus their efforts if they want to create meaningful change. Together, Amy and Mike explore: – Why the U.S. healthcare system struggles despite world-class resources – The misconception that health insurance companies exist to deny care – How affordability, accessibility, and patient outcomes should guide healthcare innovation – Why preventive care may be one of the largest untapped opportunities in healthcare – The rise of personalized medicine and its impact on future treatment models – How value-based care is reshaping relationships between providers, payers, and patients – Why AI should solve real healthcare problems—not just create new technology for technology's sake – The ethical responsibilities innovators must embrace when building healthcare solutions – How entrepreneurs can collaborate with physicians, nurses, patients, and insurers to create stronger products One of Mike's most powerful messages is that healthcare doesn't need more expensive widgets. What it needs are solutions to systemic problems. Whether you're a healthcare entrepreneur, startup founder, healthcare executive, investor, physician, or simply someone passionate about improving patient outcomes, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for building innovation that truly matters.
