The First Mile: Reimagining Healthcare from the Home Out with Dr. Ami Bhatt, Chief Innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology
Episode Description
Healthcare was built around hospitals, but the future starts at home.
In this episode, Dr. Ami Bhatt, Chief Innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology, talks about reimagining healthcare through a “first mile” model that begins with patients in their homes and communities. She explains how remote care, wearables, and digital tools are shifting power toward patient agency and earlier intervention. Dr. Bhatt also explores why AI in healthcare must be a collaborative effort between clinicians and technology, focused on real patient outcomes rather than efficiency alone. The conversation examines emerging access and payment models that prioritize outcomes over billing codes, particularly in cardio-kidney-metabolic care.
Tune in and hear how thoughtful innovation, collaborative intelligence, and patient-centered design can expand access and improve health at scale.
