"There needs to be a whole new suite of solutions that are forward looking and proactive and real time, and we gotta go and build that." - Sasha Gribov

My guest this week, Sasha Gribov, founder of Milu Health, is on a mission to build the proactive, forward-looking solutions our healthcare system desperately needs. He joins the show to discuss how he's using AI to create an "early warning system" for health, moving our model from reactive to proactive.

Sasha breaks down the Milu model, which uses AI to analyze health records and claims data in real-time. He explains how this allows his team to predict the need for surgeries an average of 90 days in advance and proactively reach out to members via text (no app required) to guide them to the right, high-value solutions already in their health plan.

We also explore the future of AI in healthcare, why he believes it will "augment" doctors, not replace them, and how this proactive approach is the key to saving lives and finally lowering costs for employers.

Tune in for a look into the future of proactive healthcare!
