Episode #227. We’re Tracking Everything… But Who’s Protecting Them?, with Sri Bharadwaj, COO and CIO at Longevity Health Plans

What if the patients with the most data are the ones least able to protect it, or advocate for themselves? In this episode, Sri Bharadwaj, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Information Officer at Longevity Health Plans, explains how Longevity Health uses data analytics and AI to improve care for elderly patients in skilled nursing facilities. By tracking activities of daily living, his team identifies early warning signs and intervenes before conditions worsen, often preventing hospitalizations. He highlights the ethical responsibility to protect sensitive patient data, especially for populations unaware of their rights. To support this model, Longevity Health built a custom EMR and works to strengthen cybersecurity in underfunded care settings.
