Jessica, James and Huw from SomX break down the best stories from this week's newsletter.[01:17] - Forward, Startup Behind ‘Doctor in Box' Healthcare Modules, to Shut Down[23:55] - Ali Parsa launches Quadrivia: I have stepped back from LinkedIn for almost a year, but we have not been idle

Today on the podcast we have Ali Parsa - founder of two unicorn health businesses - Babylon Health and Circle Health.Ali was born in Iran, but left when he was 16, in the aftermath of the Iranian revolution.  Amazingly, he taught himself UK high school, and went on to study civil and environmental engineering at University College London.He sold a media company he started during university, and then joined the investment banking world. 20 years ago, he set up Circle Health - the first private company to run a UK NHS hospital, which became Europe's largest partnership of clinicians with around £200 million of annual revenue and about 3,000 employees. Circle Health was taken public in 2012, when Ali stepped down as CEO.Then, in 2014 - Ali formed Babylon Health, a health service provider that enabled users to have virtual consultations with doctors via text and video on its app. At its height, Babylon was a unicorn - and Ali led Babylon's listing on the NYSE. But share prices dropped at flotation to below $1, with Ali calling the decision to go public through a SPAC an "unbelievable, unmitigated disaster".And now he's bringing a lifetime of lessons from right at the top of American and British healthcare to his next company: Quadrivia - an all-in-one AI health assistant.In this episode we talk about how AI can transform healthcare, what Ali learnt from Babylon Health, and what the perfect age is to build a startup.

In this weeks episode Umang shares his journey from the NHS to Microsoft sharing his experiences in building a career which spanned medical insurance at Aviva then later as an early and senior employee at Babylon.

“Cultural shift is the most fundamental part of using any technology”Ali Parsa founded digital health company Babylon in 2013 with a simple mission: to make access to a doctor available to anyone with a mobile phone. Babylon has since floated on the Nasdaq stock market and become involved in important partnerships ranging from the UK's NHS to the healthcare system in Rwanda. And during the Covid pandemic, one of Babylon's cornerstone ideas was put to the test, as many people spoke to their doctor on a video call for the first time. In this episode of Health To Wealth, Ali explains that Babylon's approach to providing healthcare today involves drawing on the vast amount of online information available, and automating diagnosis as well as direct interaction with physicians. The true revolution, he says, will come through preventative healthcare that will be tailored for the individual by systematically collecting and analysing their health data. What's needed, says Ali, is a re-think whereby doctors are paid for keeping people healthy rather than simply treating them when they are sick. Technology may never be able to provide the personal touch of a human, but it can transform global access to good health.Health to Wealth: a podcast from Accor, produced by Purposeful Podcasts and hosted by Anni Hood from Well Intelligence.

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.

www.theimpactinterview.com In this episode, I speak to Arjun Ananth about his career journey and his mission to build a broad, inclusive healthcare services platform across southern India.  Arjun is CEO of diagnostic services company Medall (www.medall.in), having stepped in to the role in November 2019, just three months before India was hit by Covid-19. With serendipitous timing, Medall had already begun to develop and expand serrvices that have been key to their growth during the pandemic. We discuss his very varied career, from technology investment banking in Silicon Valley during the dotcom boom (incidentally, a similar path to Babylon founder Ali Parsa), to setting up Nike's first office in India, running heavy industrials businesses and working in private equity. Medall was set up by Peepul Capital, the private equity buyout firm that Arjun joined in 2016.  We discuss the changes he has implemented in a very short period, including redefining the customer focus and, with perfect timing, developing both a home collections business and a teleconsulting service immediately before Covid-19 arrived and the country went into lockdown. Inevitably, technology is driving innovation -Arjun is ambitious for growth in the Wellness space and sees the secure use of data as key. Arjun gives great insights into the Indian market - both in terms of the diet and lifestlye of the general population, and the price point for healthcare compared to other countries. “In many ways, India's biggest opportunity lies at the bottom of the pyramid”. He talks about specific programs they have initiated to assist those in poverty, and the satisfaction he derives from making an impact. He also shares a few thoughts on effective leadership and lessons he has learned. If you are interested in connecting with him regarding collaboration and partnership opportunities, then please feel free to email him on arjun@medall.in

Kicking off series 5 of Secret Leaders are two fantastic guests - Ali Parsa (CEO and founder of Babylon) and Dr Ranjan Chatterjee. Ali has been on the show several times before - firstly on his own, and secondly for one of our live events where he shared the stage with Michael Acton-Smith, founder of Calm. In the light of the current global crisis, nobody knows what the world is going to be like when the dust settles at the end of this pandemic. And this is what we discuss in this episode - what the business and social impact of the coronavirus on society will be. Because currently, it isn’t looking good. The economy is tanking. Borders are closed. Everyone is practicing social distancing. The strain on political leaders is evident. And the pressures on the NHS are close to crippling it. Ali Parsa is one of the best placed people in the world to talk about some of the predicted health impacts of the virus, in particular what he’s seeing in his own industry of healthcare. Dr. Ranjan Chatterjee is also incredibly well placed, and comes at it from how to handle things on a more personal level. His podcast is the number one UK podcast in health and wellness, and he has set himself a personal mission to help 100m people realise they can be the architects of their own health.“I worry about what is the consequence of shutting down society in terms of mental health problems: depression, anxiety, isolation, the sort of things that we were already struggling with in society two months ago, even one month ago, pre-lockdown, we were struggling with these.”We chat about:Accessibility to health careComparison of prevention versus cureWhat global healthcare might look like in the future The consequence on our health of shutting down societyWhat you can do in isolation to look after yourselfLinks:https://www.secretleaders.com/ali-parsahttps://www.secretleaders.com/the-future-of-healthcareFeel Better, Live MoreWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

In this live podcast episode we talk about what makes a healthy body, a healthy mind and the future of technology enabled healthcare. We’ve previously talked to both of today’s guests - Michael Acton-Smith, founder of Mind Candy, Firebox and Calm.com in Series One of Secret Leaders and Ali Parsa, founder and CEO of Babylon Health in Series Two. But to have both of these guys (who are revolutionising healthcare), sit down together and go through pertinent health issues of the day was too good an opportunity to pass up. Yes, Michael Acton Smith OBE, once described as the ‘tech version of Willy Wonka,’ may not seem an obvious choice to talk all things healthcare with, but this esteemed guest has focused his recent attention on raising awareness and building businesses in the mental health space, an arena that we are still very much lacking information. And Ali Parsa, well Ali is a one man war on healthcare. He’s a refugee who has set up the world’s largest healthcare app successfully changing the way we as humans are getting access to healthcare.Get ready to be blown away by the ambition of these two superhumans, and all for the benefit of the human race. We chat about:What healthy means to each of themWhy we don’t have a healthcare system as such, we have a sick-care systemHow technology and AI is and will enable a better healthcare systemEverything affects your life, and nothing affects your life - your genetics are what they areThe obesity epidemicThe current mental health crisisConquering aging - we die because we ageLinks:https://www.secretleaders.com/ali-parsahttps://www.secretleaders.com/michael-acton-smithWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

He debates the issues with resident sceptic Dr Margaret McCartney. Mark Porter visits the world's first national tissue bank for pancreatic cancer, set up to aid research into a disease that has seen no outcome improvement for over 40 years. Plus statins and muscle aches; could the drugs' bad press in the media actually increase the odds of people experiencing side effects - the so called nocebo effect?

Circle and babylon Health founder Ali Parsa gives HI-Pod his tips on how to be an entrepreneur and explains why he thinks the healthcare technology market is at a tipping point.

Ali Parsa, founder of Babylon Health, has created an extraordinary platform — an app-based service that cost-effectively connects top GPs with patients via their smartphones, and is the UK’s leading digital healthcare service. Babylon allows its users to book a video consultation with a GP in minutes, or message with a photo to receive an answer for simpler questions. The true aim of the service is to leverage realtime data, adaptive health monitoring and clinically curated machine learning to detect diseases more quickly and ultimately prevent them before they happen. Visiting him at his head office in London, we spoke about the future impact of AI on the provision of healthcare services, how data changes the way we think about wellness and why the digital delivery of medical advice will transform the lives of millions in the developing world. Ali is a former investment banker at Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch. He previously created Circle, a multi-million pound business running private hospitals across Britain. He was named by the Times among the 100 global people to watch in 2012, and by HSJ among the 50 most influential people in UK healthcare.
