#5 How to provide global healthcare with the touch of a button - with Dr. Ali Parsa
Manage episode 304515086 series 2935428
This week I have the pleasure of sitting down with the extraordinary healthcare entrepreneur and engineer, Dr. Ali Parsa. Ali is the founder and CEO of Babylon, the revolutionary digital health company. His entrepreneurial spirit combined with his disruptive thinking makes Ali one of the most extraordinary people I’ve ever met.
Ali’s fascination with the healthcare -or rather, the sick care- system started when he found himself underwhelmed by the quality of care at a London hospital he went to for an issue with his knee and started reimagining the future of healthcare. This led him to first found Circle, and later the trailblazing Babylon Health. Babylon’s mission is to put an accessible and affordable health service in the hands of every person on earth - a model that has been proven to work not just in the UK but also in countries such as Rwanda.
In this episode, we speak about why there is a need for a healthcare revolution, how artificial intelligence can improve global access to healthcare, and the importance of providing care before a crisis hits.
The ask: Dream big, build fast and be brave, while also enabling other people to reach their dreams simultaneously.
