9 months ago @Color partnered with @OpenAI and @UCSF to bring world-class cancer expertise to everyone. To achieve this, we designed a novel architecture that safely integrates GenAI into clinical practice. We call it a “Large Language Expert” (LLE). 🧵

There is no way to get around this than by delivering better care. The industry has spent decades moving deck chairs on the Titanic. The illusion that navigation and funky financial structures will solve the problem - and just adding more middlemen/costs. For things like cancer,.

Large employers forecast ‘daunting’ 9% hike in healthcare costs next year. "Employers surveyed by the Business Group on Health are bracing for the largest annual increase in healthcare costs in more than a decade.". There is no market like American Healthcare. 🧵

Instead of worrying about job loss to AI, AI agents replacing shitty human service should be celebrated.

1/ After 3 wonderful weeks in Europe, my family and I were ready to head home. Instead, British Airways stranded us in a glass tunnel in 100° heat with no flight, no updates, and no path forward. It sucked. But it also showcased how AI could do customer support much better. 🧵

8/ @Color has managed to collaborate and partner with top institutions like NIH and Memorial Sloan Kettering. At the heart of this has been our scientific and care delivery depth. You just can't reduce healthcare to a software problem - and it's OK to embrace that.

7/ @Color's AI in Healthcare thesis is different than most. We don't believe in a super-intelligence black box, but a fully controllable decision system. We don't think the world will converge to a consensus, but rather that we can now build tools that give us super powers.
