In this episode, Aneesh Chopra, Chief Strategy Officer at Arcadia shares a bold vision for advancing healthcare equity through smarter data use, AI, and workflow innovation. He unpacks the journey from the early days of “meaningful use” to today’s AI-powered, value-based care landscape, highlighting how intelligent workflows can reach underserved populations and improve outcomes at scale.

Aneesh introduces the concept of a "healthcare information fiduciary," a model where apps and platforms act solely in the patient’s best interest, free from institutional financial incentives. He discusses how this, combined with emerging AI capabilities and interoperability standards like CMS’s FHIR APIs, can empower consumers and scale high-impact care delivery.

With real-world success stories, from improved hospital ratings via conversational AI to national gains in ADT data coverage, this episode offers healthcare leaders a roadmap for driving innovation through public-private collaboration and patient-centered data strategy. Take a listen.
