Karina Akib reposted thisKarina Akib reposted thisYou can’t scale virtual care without fixing the policies that limit it. Giulia Block is our voice in the room - fighting to make high-quality care accessible, affordable, and protected by lasting reform. Too often, healthcare decisions are made based on numbers and policy metrics, without considering the outcomes those decisions create. And it’s tough, especially when models of care that are proven to work are still tied to policies created in response to a temporary emergency. That’s where Giulia does the heavy lifting. As our General Counsel, Giulia wears many hats. But one of the most impactful is the one she wears when she’s in Washington, D.C., advocating on behalf of every provider and patient who’s benefited from virtual care. She’s been deeply involved in policy work through the American Telemedicine Association (ATA), and just recently traveled to Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle. A big part of her focus right now is advocating for reimbursement models that don’t rely on public health emergency extensions. These temporary waivers served their purpose during the COVID pandemic, but virtual care has proven its value far beyond that context. Now it’s time for the policies to evolve because the care model is here to stay. Giulia’s work helps lay the foundation that allows clinicians to focus on what matters most - caring for patients, not navigating red tape. It’s easy to overlook this kind of work because it’s behind the scenes. And it doesn’t always come with headlines or high-fives. But the stakes are enormous. So thank you Giulia, for being the voice of Access TeleCare as we work to shape digital health and virtual care policy. We’re grateful to have you leading that charge.

Karina Akib liked thisKarina Akib liked thisAI in healthcare has become a hot topic. But no technology, not even AI, will have much of an impact if it never gets adopted by caregivers. Adoption, in any industry, is always the real challenge. As a CMO, I spend a lot of time thinking about how things actually show up in clinical workflows. The question isn't whether AI and digital tools can help. Its what actually changes provider behavior so they’re used consistently in real care. This past week I had the opportunity to participate in a session on this topic with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, and the American Telemedicine Association (ATA) in Washington, D.C. There was a lot of thoughtful conversation around making AI feel genuinely assistive at the point of care, not like another layer. And just as important, how policy and reimbursement can support a shift from episodic visits to something more continuous and connected. I also appreciated the focus on access - done right, these tools can extend care in meaningful ways without widening gaps. Overall, a very practical, grounded discussion. Encouraging to see the focus not just on innovation, but on what it actually takes to make it work.

Our high-performing, multispecialty clinical research network spans 100+ research sites across North America, Europe, India, and Australia embedded directly into clinical care. Unlike traditional networks, we place site success at the center of trial execution by combining centralized operations, expert staffing, proprietary AI, and deep clinical expertise to drive reliable results for sponsors and CROs. Our trial performance speaks for itself: 2x faster site activation, up to 3 months shorter startup timelines, and 3x higher patient enrollment rates compared to industry benchmarks. The new funding will support expansion into new therapeutic areas beyond GI, hepatology, obesity, cardiology and deepen geographical growth. Jonathan Ng, Founder and CEO, shared: “Every delay in a clinical trial is a delay for patients whose outcomes depend on faster access to innovation. By keeping our physician partners and their patients at the center of our model, we’ve built a system that delivers high-performance site execution at scale. We are excited to bring greater scale to our model in a variety of new therapeutic areas together.” As part of the financing, Ajay Agrawal, Co-Founder and Partner at Intrepid Growth Partners, will join Iterative Health's Board of Directors. Anthony Philippakis, General Partner at GV (Google Ventures), will join as a board observer.

Transforming healthcare with AI requires industry. Industry requires capital investment. Capital investment requires return. Return requires revenue. Revenue requires reimbursement. Medicare (and transitively private insurance) reimbursement policy for clinical AI will define the incentives for the technologies we build and deploy over the next decade. Our existing fee for service codes are what the military would call cost-plus contracting. We pay for every nail, screw, and hour of labor and don't care if that was a good and efficient way to build the tank or not. Our CMS Innovation Center director, Abe Sutton, believes cost-plus is the wrong path for the future of American healthcare. ACCESS and VBC models pay for outcomes. When we have AI that can manage heart failure can we link payment to making people healthier? Doing so would unleash the might of American techno-capitalism on exactly the thing we care about in society, but there are devils in the details.

Introducing the Health Innovation Strategy Framework After two decades of building health startups, advising Fortune 500 life sciences firms, and designing care delivery programs at scale—I've distilled what works (and what fails) in transforming healthcare. 💡 That’s why I created the Health Innovation Strategy Framework—a blueprint to help healthcare leaders and organizations move beyond the buzzwords and into measurable outcomes. This framework is designed for: Health tech founders navigating go-to-market chaos Provider groups launching digital-first services Employers, payers & PBMs aiming to improve access, cost & experience Investors evaluating scalable models in a complex care ecosystem Organizations looking for the next best health innovation to partner, adopt or acquire 📊 Core pillars: •Innovation Culture and Infrastructure •Partnership Readiness •Product-Market Fit in Healthcare •Regulatory & Payer Navigation •Clinical Workflow Alignment •Patient Engagement •Sustainable Growth Strategy Here’s a quick look ⬇️ I’ll be diving into each of these in subsequent posts. 🔍 Want to see how this applies to your organization? 📬 DM me or contact me directly for a custom Innovation Readiness Assessment. Let’s build smarter, faster, and with real impact. #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #PartnershipStrategy #DigitalHealth #GoToMarket #ValueBasedCare #HealthEquity #LifeSciences #StrategicGrowth #HealthStrategy

I’m excited to share that Angle Health, founded by former Palantir Technologies execs Tylon (Ty) W. and Anirban Gangopadhyay, has announced an oversubscribed Series B bringing total funding to nearly $200M. I’m proud to be an early investor and to have led this competitive round with the amazing team at Portage. Why we keep leaning in: - 26x revenue growth since the Series A - Serving 3,000+ employers across 44 states - 80%+ renewal rates Angle Health is rebuilding the healthcare benefits infrastructure for SMBs, who employ nearly half of America’s workforce but have historically been shut out of enterprise-grade coverage. Their AI-native platform helps predict risk and deliver better care at a sustainable cost. This is exactly the kind of product-driven, AI-native company we’re proud to support at Mighty Capital.

It had to be said! 🎯 Epic's stranglehold on healthcare IT has stifled innovation for too long and the writing is on the wall. The consolidation myth needs to die already. We were promised efficiency and lower costs, but what we got was bloated bureaucracies that prioritize profits over patients. The data doesn't lie: smaller, agile providers consistently outperform these healthcare monopolies on both outcomes and patient satisfaction. Time for a major reset in how we think about healthcare delivery.

Nice quote from one of our Partners Andrew Brackin in TechCrunch: “This was one of the biggest use cases of ChatGPT,” Andrew Brackin, a partner at Gradient who invests in health tech, told TechCrunch. “So it makes a lot of sense that they would want to build a more kind of private, secure, optimized version of ChatGPT for these healthcare questions.” https://lnkd.in/gY3TV5VD

More data in health care does not always mean better outcomes. Most consumer data only appeals to the worried well, without considering the downstream impact on the health system. Real change requires real ROI - justified reimbursement, workflow changes, and overall cost reduction. Data is only valuable when it changes behavior, not just for patients, but for payers and providers too. The founders who win will connect consumer insight to system economics, where the real leverage lives.

At Team8, we believe the future of healthcare will be built on trust and data - the foundation for technology that empowers, not burdens, clinical teams. That belief led us to build Popai Health, which just announced an $11M round led by Team8, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Essen Health Care and other strategic partners. Popai is building the foundational platform for Patient Phone Conversation Intelligence: turning everyday phone interactions between care teams and patients into real-time clinical and operational insight. Why does this matter? Because the shift to value-based care depends on scalable, data-driven patient engagement. Yet, over 15 million patient calls happen every day in the U.S., and most of them vanish - unanalyzed, unused, and unconnected. Popai is changing that by giving voice data structure, meaning, and actionability. Already live with organizations like Essen Health Care and Clover Health , Popai’s AI is analyzing more than 18 million minutes of patient conversations, reducing documentation burden by over 20%, and unlocking entirely new capabilities in risk detection, care coordination, and population health. This is the Team8 thesis in action: combining deep domain expertise, technical infrastructure, and founder-market fit to build companies that solve systemic challenges. Voice is not just another dataset, it’s the most human, real-time, and underutilized source of patient intelligence in healthcare. Popai is turning that blind spot into a strategic advantage. Congratulations to Eyal Gurion, Michael Latar, Elad Levy and the entire Popai team. We’re proud to be building this together. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dN2j6DqZ

Longevity isn’t about living longer at any cost, it’s about living better for longer. Yet, the gap between healthspan and lifespan in the US is the highest in the world and has grown to over 12 years. This gap is 29% higher than the global average and means that, in general, we are living over a decade of life in a diseased state. I spend a lot of time thinking about how this shift from reactive to proactive care is evolving and what emerging strategies from the elite performance world can be applied to accelerate this transition. The focus becomes less about how long can we live, and more on how long can we maintain strength, cognition, metabolic health, and independence? I’m really looking forward to this conversation with three outstanding people operating in this space. Hope you can join us live, but if not, be sure to register to receive a recording of our conversation. Registration link in comments.

Reena Pande is one of the most thoughtful physician executives I have ever met. And the success of our industry relies on thoughtful and talented clinicians making the jump from practicing medicine to leading and innovating in the digital heath field. On this week's The Heart of Healthcare Podcast, Reena shares her learnings from her own journey as well as some great insights from her current role at Oxeon helping other clinicians make a similar career transition. She also provides great advice for founders/CEOs who are considering making a clinical hire. A must listen IMHO for all in our industry!
