In 1854, at the Crystal Palace exhibition in New York, Elisha Otis stood on a hoisted elevator platform and ordered the rope cut. The platform dropped a few inches and stopped; a spring-set brake locked into the notched rails the moment the rope lost tension. The elevator’s safety did not depend on an operator’s vigilance or an inspector’s checklist; it was designed into the machine. The most sensitive data humans have deserves the same safety by construction. (Below: an example of security by design. The control plane sits in the vendor's cloud, the data and compute plane in the customer's environment, and only execution metadata crosses between them.)

"AI makes broken workflows broken faster." - That's not a feature. It's a warning. There's a temptation to treat AI like magic dust...sprinkle it on a broken workflow and watch the problem disappear. But AI doesn't fix broken, it accelerates it… Great product design in healthcare asks one question: "Is this the experience that I would want for my family?" AI has not changed that question; it has made answers easier to generate, but no harder to move through broken workflows. Healthcare happens at the patient-provider interface. And today, the patient is often the one holding the system together. Consider diabetes: appointments, glucose monitoring, supply ordering, clinician coordination. Each piece disconnected. Each piece requiring the patient to be the orchestrator. AI can make that coordination faster. Or AI can redesign it entirely. The difference between "faster horses" and actually building (flying) cars: one optimizes a broken system. The other connects the pieces from the start. Great product design in healthcare in the age of AI doesn't ask clinicians or patients to move faster. It asks, "what if the workflow was designed to work together?"

Most healthcare AI is being built to make things faster. I started my nursing career in the ER where I learned that faster doesn't help if it's already too late. Every patient in the ER was acute, but many had a chronic condition which didn't start that way. By the time they reached me, their crisis had been building for months, and I was their last stop. The moment for early intervention had already passed. I moved into utilization management, where I was reviewing patient encounters right at the start of the journey. I thought that was where early intervention would live. My time was instead spent chasing information and navigating different systems. All the information we needed to help a member usually existed, it was just living in another silo. Technology was supposed to close that gap, but it turned into another place the information got stuck. That's the problem I'm solving for now. I design AI that gathers what's scattered across systems and surfaces it to help the clinician with the part that actually matters: the judgment call, the relationship with the patient, and the thinking about how to make the system better for everyone. I still think about what this would have meant back in the ER. What could we have caught earlier? What did another team already know that could have prevented the patient from ever needing to be there? I'm so excited for the future of the industry - where technology will enable clinicians to use their time and expertise to make meaningful impacts on patient care.

One of the most beautifully crafted marketing campaigns I’ve gotten to help launch is around one of the most important conversations happening right now: AI and healthcare. Anterior's Beyond Faster Horses is about pushing past how AI can make healthcare faster and asking what we could actually build differently. I’ve loved getting to help shape this story alongside the Anterior team and bring some of the smartest people in healthcare into the conversation. Really exciting to see it continue to come to life with Newsweek Alexis Kayser and William Golden former UnitedHealthcare Exec & Advisor sharing his perspective on where AI can actually make a difference. This is the kind of storytelling I love. https://lnkd.in/embQXNEM

Beyond Faster Horses envisions an AI-native health plan

Honored to have been asked to participate alongside such a wide range of thought leaders. Truly a compelling topic and I look forward to see as every video unfolds.

I was honored to join healthcare and technology leaders for Anterior’s Beyond Faster Horses campaign, where I shared why building a more open healthcare ecosystem is a prerequisite to leveraging tools such as AI to remake a system that is worthy of us all. As I discuss in the campaign, healthcare does not have an innovation shortage. It has a flexibility problem. Too many institutions remain locked into technology platforms that make it difficult to connect data, adopt new solutions, and decrease cost and increase quality of care as technology evolves. At Stellarus, we are creating a different kind of foundation: giving innovators a secure, scalable data model on which to build and creating the infrastructure needed to turn healthcare innovation into system-wide impact. That is also why partnerships matter. No single organization can transform healthcare on its own. Anterior is an important strategic partner in this work, and I’m grateful to the team for bringing together voices from across the industry to examine not only what AI can do, but what must be built around it to make meaningful, structural, scalable change possible.
