Healthcare innovation has never had more hype or more pressure to deliver real results. With AI accelerating and digital health entering a more mature phase, what does “better” actually look like in practice? 

Halle Tecco, Author of Massively Better Healthcare joins CareTalk host John Driscoll, Chairman of UConn Health, to discuss what Silicon Valley gets right and wrong about healthcare, why innovators need to align incentives with outcomes, and how leaders should think about AI with clear guardrails instead of buzzwords.

🎙️⚕️ABOUT HALLE TECCO 
I’ve spent my career working to fix what’s broken in healthcare, and support those trying to do the same. I’ve been investing in the future of healthcare since 2010 as an angel, LP, and the founder of Rock Health. 

Over the years, I’ve backed and advised dozens of healthcare startups, and today I serve on the boards of Cofertility and Collective Health. 

I’m an Adjunct Professor at Columbia Business School, where I created and have taught the first MBA-level course on digital health investing since 2015. I’m also Course Director at Harvard Medical School, where I teach a course on healthcare innovation. 

When I first ventured into digital health, there were no guides—and most of the old guard wasn’t exactly welcoming. But now, I am the old guard 😉. And I believe healthcare needs all the talent it can get. That’s why I teach, write, and share insights through my podcast and upcoming book.
