Episode Description

September 16, 2026: Nish Khandwala, Co-Founder and CEO of Bunkerhill Health, and Dr. Peter McCaffrey, Chief Digital and AI Officer at UTMB Health, join Bill Russell. UTMB started with an FDA-cleared incidental coronary artery calcium algorithm. The next question was the workflow: who sees the flag, who acts, do you hire a navigator. Agents now pull the image, the chart context, and the downstream tasks. In 12 months UTMB went from one live agent to 22 on a single instance: missed patients, prior auth, care pathways, referral access.
