Unlocking the Potential of the Clinical Conversation To Address Healthcare’s Biggest Problems, with Shiv Rao, CEO and Co-Founder of Abridge
Inside The Doctor's LoungeShow Notes
In this episode, Dr. Nisha Mehta is joined by Dr. Shiv Rao, MD, CEO and Co-Founder of Abridge.
They discuss:
Shiv’s journey from clinician to investor to builder, and how being a clinician gives you something that no pure technologist has – the ability to feel the problem firsthand
How the barrier to entry to build something has never been lower, but the barrier to doing it right in healthcare has never been higher
The importance of holding onto your north star tightly, even if the world isn’t ready for it, and surviving long enough for the market to catch up
How this technology is about more than AI scribing, serving as a system of real-time intelligence that works before, during, and after the conversation to save time, restore presence, and connect patients, providers, and payers
The future of AI in healthcare, and the power to actually change the system itself by realigning incentives so that it works for everyone
