episode Closing the Gap Between AI and Clinical Reality w/ Dr. Sanjay Juneja, Tempus AI cover

Closing the Gap Between AI and Clinical Reality w/ Dr. Sanjay Juneja, Tempus AI

Most AI in healthcare never reaches a patient. Not because the technology fails, but because no one translated it into something a clinician can actually use. Dr. Sanjay Juneja, a triple board certified hematologist, oncologist, and VP of Clinical AI Operations at Tempus AI, joins host Francesca Vereb to break down why data quality determines whether AI succeeds or quietly fails patients, and what real clinical governance has to look like before agentic AI gets deployed at scale. ---- 🎙 ABOUT DR. SANJAY JUNEJA: Dr. Sanjay Juneja is a triple board-certified hematologist, medical oncologist, and physician executive working at the intersection of cancer care, artificial intelligence, and clinical informatics. He serves in senior leadership at Tempus AI, where he focuses on operationalizing AI in oncology and translating complex clinical data into tools that improve real-world care delivery, while maintaining an active clinical practice. Known globally as “TheOncDoc,” he has built a large audience of healthcare professionals by making cancer care, science, and healthcare innovation more accessible to clinicians and the public. His work spans clinical care, digital health, and medical education, including experience co-founding and exiting a digital health company, with a focus on how data, communication, and trust influence both patient outcomes and clinical decision-making. He is also the author of "We Need to Talk About Cancer" and co-founder of TensorBlack, an initiative focused on helping busy oncology professionals better understand emerging technologies and advances shaping cancer care. He is particularly interested in reducing friction across clinical workflows, improving interoperability, and designing systems that better support physicians in delivering high-quality care--particularly in community settings. 🎙 ABOUT HUMANIFAI HEALTHTECH: HumanifAI HealthTech is a bi-weekly podcast exploring how AI is rewriting the rules of healthcare and putting people back at the center where they belong.

episode Fixing Healthcare’s Referral Black Hole w/ Trey Holterman, Co-Founder & CEO, Tennr cover

Fixing Healthcare’s Referral Black Hole w/ Trey Holterman, Co-Founder & CEO, Tennr

Every day in healthcare, a referral goes out, and a patient disappears. Into the fax. Into the queue. Into someone's pile. The specialist never calls back. The primary care doctor never hears what happened. And the patient is left in limbo wondering if they’ve been forgotten. Trey Holterman, Co-Founder and CEO of Tennr, watched his mother, a physician's assistant, live with this for years. So, he built a company and even a proprietary AI model to fix it. Trey joins host Brian Chee to discuss why the referral black hole has persisted despite decades of health tech investment, and how Tennr built a proprietary AI model trained on the unstructured healthcare documents at the root of the problem to fix it at scale. ---- 🎙 ABOUT TREY HOLTERMAN: Trey Holterman is the Co-Founder and CEO of Tennr, the referral automation platform that helps healthcare operators capture more referrals, cut denials, and deliver faster care without scaling their teams. By deploying the first-ever language models built to reason through healthcare criteria, Tennr ensures no patient gets lost in the referral handoff process. A Stanford CS alum and one of Forbes ‘Top Founders in AI’, Trey has led the company through +230% revenue growth year-to-date, and raised $162 million in 1.5 years from a16z, IVP, Lightspeed and GV. 🎙 ABOUT HUMANIFAI HEALTHTECH: HumanifAI HealthTech is a bi-weekly podcast exploring how AI is rewriting the rules of healthcare and putting people back at the center where they belong.
