Supercharging care management, a central concern in healthcare requires understanding the powerful technological tools available to make a difference. Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands poised to redefine patient care coordination. The discussion around such technological leaps is not just timely but crucial, considering the ever-rising healthcare costs and the need for improved patient outcomes. This context sets the stage for a pertinent conversation about how companies like Laguna Health deploy advanced AI tools, like Natural Language Processing (NLP), to revolutionize the industry.

The latest Healthcare Rethink episode, a podcast series by FinThrive, features an in-depth discussion with Yoni Shtein, CEO and Co-Founder of Laguna Health, led by host Brian Urban.

  • Laguna Health’s contribution to diminishing hospital readmissions and reducing healthcare costs
  • The incorporation of social determinants into care plans, aiming to elevate patient care standards

Yoni Shtein’s path to healthcare was deeply personal, ignited by a family loss. With a professional foundation as a software engineer at Microsoft and a track record in business model innovation, Shtein and his business partner, Yael Adam, contribute deep insights from her tenure at a digital health startup, making the Laguna Health leadership team uniquely equipped to drive progress in the tech-healthcare sector and supercharge care management.
