How Consumers Are Defining Healthcare's Future w/ Dr. Daniel Kraft, Founder, NextMed Health
Episode Description
American healthcare still runs on fax machines, paper forms, and reimbursement models built for reactive sick care. Meanwhile, patients are connecting wearables to AI chatbots, ordering their own labs, and triaging themselves without ever seeing a physician.
Dr. Daniel Kraft, Founder of Digital.Health and NextMed Health, joins host John Driscoll to discuss why the consumer is pulling healthcare into the future faster than institutions can follow, and what continuous, AI-powered, multimodal health monitoring could mean for the 500 million people who cannot get timely access to a primary care doctor today.
