Episode Description

September 17, 2025: Healthcare is notorious for changing slowly, but does it have to be? Nishith Khandwala, Co-Founder of Bunkerhill Health, is breaking down the walls between an idea and life-saving reality. Nishith reveals how major health systems are now identifying thousands of at-risk patients through automated clinical workflows, including the story of a police officer whose dismissed "heartburn" led to emergency triple bypass surgery. Can healthcare finally match the breakneck pace of AI innovation happening everywhere else, and what would it mean if the gap between AI discovery and patient care could shrink from years to mere hours? Key Points:
  • 00:05 The Birth of Bunkerhill Health
  • 03:12 Why so Slow?
  • 08:37 Operationalizing AI
  • 19:13 Future Vision
