00:00 Intro.
01:05 Greetings
02:32 Ankit's journey.
06:21 How did you end up in healthcare?
08:46 Tell us more about Infinitus. What else is on the roadmap?
11:47 Were there any a-ha moments once you got into healthcare?
14:53 Your product is designed to automate many of the tasks currently handled by back-office administrative staff, some of whom do not have a medical background. As the adoption of your product increases, how do you address concerns about the potential impact on the jobs of these individuals?
16:41 I have this dissonance. There are still hundreds of hospitals and healthcare providers in the US that still haven’t implemented simple scheduling software. However, some have already started using such breakthrough solutions as Infinitus. So the gap between these providers is only growing. What needs to happen to narrow that gap or do you think those old school providers will just be out of business in a few years?
21:26 A person who worked for Google for a long time, what do you think about the hypothesis that AI will replace standard search at some point?
28:20 What do you think the role of AI will be in healthcare, particularly primary care, over the next 5-10 years? Will it fundamentally change how we deliver and provide care, or will it mainly be used for automation and administrative tasks?
33:06 There have been no innovations in digital health on the scale of the Internet or self-driving or a search engine, perhaps outside of drug discovery and gene sequencing. Many so-called innovations like AI scribes and telehealth are either repackaging, re-wrapping, or outright taken from another industry. What can be done to improve the path to innovation in digital health?
37:08 There are two schools of thought on AI: 1) AI will scale and skyrocket, 2) AI costs will outweigh benefits - Jevons Paradox (Goldman, Sequoia Capital). Where do you stand between these camps?
39:47 The role of VCs in digital health.
45:57 Is there a path to profitability in digital health and what are the obstacles?
49:12 Ankit's advice to startup founders in digital health and AI.
