Bright Spots in Healthcare

Precision Health, AI & Engagement: Dr. Carolyn Jasik on Verily's Vision for Consumer-Centered Care


Listen Later

Recorded live at HLTH, this episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare features Dr. Carolyn Jasik, Associate Chief Clinical Officer at Verily, an Alphabet company focused on precision health innovation at scale.

Carolyn shares how Verily has evolved through multiple "moonshot" phases, from devices and research to its current focus on precision health, combining AI, data science, and clinical expertise to deliver the right intervention to the right person at the right time.

Drawing from her background as a pediatrician, behavioral scientist, and former digital health executive, Carolyn explains why healthcare transformation must move beyond the clinic and into people's daily lives, meeting them in moments that actually matter.

In this conversation, you'll hear about:

  • What precision health really means beyond the buzzword, and why timing and context are everything

  • How Verily Me enables consumers to interact with their health records, ask questions, and identify gaps in care

  • The role of AI coaches and human clinicians working together, not in competition

  • Why Verily is taking a direct-to-consumer-first approach to crack the engagement problem in healthcare

  • How licensed nurses, HIPAA-protected AI, and real-time support can transform patient experience

  • Carolyn's long-term vision for AI agents like Violet to meaningfully extend care teams and reduce clinician burden

This episode offers a thoughtful, human-centered look at how AI can help people feel seen, supported, and cared for while laying the foundation for scalable, enterprise-grade precision health.

If you're building, buying, or deploying digital health solutions, this conversation provides a grounded blueprint for what consumer trust, engagement, and impact really require.
