@manas_muduli What would it take to modernize and add capacity to the Bhubaneswar airport? May we explore the feasibility of building a better, more customer savvy airport that can serve the region for next 50 years. By building a new airport in Puri we will dilute the stature of BBI.

This is Bhubaneswar Airport and it’s packed like a bus stand. The airport handles 4.6 million passengers a year and has limited room to expand. The message is loud and clear: Puri International Airport needs to be fast-tracked to complement it.

Half life of innovation relevancy. The pace of innovation is dizzying . Awe today, table stakes tomorrow. Breakthroughs have become standard folklore these days. Amazement is standard feature- in short order . The pace of innovation is dizzying. #genai linkedin.com/posts/sid-maha…

Mindful adoption and scaling of Gen Ai, lest, we run the risk of unrealized potential of the growth engine. The MIT article is a wake up call. Top down sponsorship and bottom up buy-in critical to achieve the full potential of Gen AI. #genai. linkedin.com/posts/sid-maha…

@julesyoo So excited about the new venture. Wondering how the idea will be monetized? Plus how will the members/patients be followed longitudinally across the time horizon to assess the outcomes?

Healthcare is experiencing the mother of all supply-demand mismatch crises - we’re short 100K+ doctors relative to demand projected in the next 5 years. One of the ways the system has tried to solve this is by stacking layers of *non-doctors* at the front lines to triage as much as possible _away_ from doctors and save our scarce doctor capacity for the cases that truly need them. But that's had the unintended consequence of higher costs, duplicative services, over-escalations, and patient safety issues... What we really need to do is ensure that patients get access, upfront, to fully-trained clinicians who can make confident recommendations and reduce the downstream swirl associated with traditional triage processes. But we simply don't have enough doctors to do that, absent a fundamental innovation that could create non-linear leverage and amplification of expertise and capacity for each doctor in practice. ⭐Enter @CounselHealth⭐, an AI-native medical practice that offers patients unlimited, 24/7 access to personalized medical advice from actual physicians. Patients can message a Counsel doctor with any medical question and receive actionable, reliable responses within minutes. They’ve built AI-powered "Ironman suits for doctors" - essentially proprietary, specialized medical co-pilots that give each Counsel clinician the ability to leverage the collective knowledge of the best of their peers, and multiply their patient reach by at least an order of magnitude relative to traditional medical practices. Counsel represents the type of care model that is only possible in a post-LLM world, led by an incredible "multilingual" founding team: ⭐ Dr. Muthu Alagappan (@malagappan), CEO, has experience as an AI researcher, a practicing doctor, and an early leader at a high-growth digital health company that achieved significant commercial scale. ⭐ Justin Yu (@justinyu__) is an MIT-trained computer scientist and ML expert who has built AI systems in robotics, at NVIDIA, and virtual team collaboration. ⭐Dr. Rishi Khakhkhar (@khakrish) is an Emergency Medicine doctor who ran one of the nation's first Virtual Urgent Care centers at the renowned Mount Sinai Health System. We at @a16zBioHealth are thrilled to be backing this exceptional team as they pioneer Asynchronous Care, which could transform the way we leverage our precious supply of doctors. cc @JayRughani, @sk_leung, @WillShrank See full announcement below 👇

@healthcareandy @Rock_Health Folks are selective about when, where and how much to invest. With virtual health services stalling in the post pandemic era, I believe we need new ideas to truly take digital health to next level. FWIW.

In Q1 2024, digital health startups raised $2.7 billion. There's a few different ways to interpret this info: 1) Still a pittance relative to the size of the industry ($4.5 trillion). 2) Trending in the wrong direction, given lowest funding in Q1 since 2019. 3) Annualized this could still be $10-11 billion, not bad compared to pre-2020. 4) Really just shows the negative impact on growth-stage rounds, because avg deal size dropped from $39.6 million in 2021 to $20.6 million in 2024. I have some broader/controversial thoughts about the healthcare startup ecosystem, but I'll save that for a future blog post. Curious, what are your thoughts? Reply below.

Great session at @HLTHEVENT . Listening to the value of culture and values and the impact on mental health. Great to see #LinkedIn and #headspace leading the way about employee well being and mental health.
