James Keppel is the Founder and CEO of Sarana Health and a healthcare advocate for an integrated, wellness-focused approach to keeping people healthy instead of simply treating diseases. While the impacts of current policy changes and budget cuts in healthcare and medical research have yet to be seen, all indications point to widening gaps in serving rural populations and those with complex conditions. James encourages private industry to step up to innovate new models of healthcare delivery and financing, and to use AI and technology to support healthcare providers in providing personalized, continuous care.
We talk about:
- Need to inform and influence the debate about healthcare policy
- Gaps in how traditional medicine addresses chronic conditions and preventative care
- Hot button issues like drug price transparency, telehealth, and nutrition benefit cuts
- How the smarter use of diagnostic tests to find early warning signs of disease benefits all stakeholders
- Growing frustration among healthcare providers and patients with the current healthcare system is creating an opportunity for innovative models to emerge
