Episode notes
What if healthcare’s biggest AI breakthroughs aren’t about new science—but about finally fixing systems that were never built to scale?
In this episode of Neural Compass, Jacob Effron, Managing Director at Redpoint Ventures, joins Jimini’s Mark Jacobstein to explore where AI is already delivering real value in healthcare—and where hype still outpaces reality. Drawing on his experience at Flatiron Health and as an investor across AI, enterprise software, and healthcare, Jacob discusses why healthcare has become one of the fastest-adopting AI verticals, how real-world data actually creates value, and why tools that reduce clinician burden can unlock entirely new patient experiences.
They cover:
- Why healthcare has emerged as a leading AI adoption vertical
- Lessons from Flatiron Health on real-world data and evidence
