Most conversations about agentic AI in healthcare get stuck on capability. This one is about the gap between capability and deployment — and what closes it. Aashima Gupta, Global Director of Healthcare Strategy and Solutions at Google Cloud, argues that healthcare's bottleneck isn't vision; it's courage. The processes are documented poorly or not at all, AI fluency programs reach a fraction of employees who want them, and most enterprises are running agents without the harnesses — grounding, evaluation, red-teaming — that production deployment actually requires. Meanwhile patients navigate three different "clock speeds" (annual insurance cycles, shifting provider rosters, Medicare pricing) that bear no relation to the timeline of their own health. We cover the European vs US deployment posture, the difference between agents-with-agency and rule-based AI, why Highmark's library of one million internal prompts matters, Google Cloud's full-stack efficiency play (TPU Ironwood, Gemini, the 40% data-centre electricity reduction DeepMind delivered years ago), and the multi-agent "harnesses" — including the red/blue/green team architecture — that are starting to make production-grade healthcare AI plausible.

In this Bright Spots in Healthcare episode, host Eric Glazer convenes health plan leaders who are focused on what happens beyond the clinic visit, the moments between care where behavior, adherence, and risk quietly take shape. The conversation centers on how plans are operationalizing care without proximity by extending support into daily life, redesigning benefit strategies, and moving from episodic measurement to longitudinal influence. This is a candid discussion for executives who are still building, still questioning assumptions, and still shaping what sustainable, whole-person care can become. Together, the panel explores how digitally enabled self-management, continuous insight, and targeted human support are changing how plans influence outcomes over time. Our guests include: Timothy Law, DO, MBA, Chief Medical Officer, Highmark Inc. Deborah Hammond, MD, Vice President, Medical Director, Healthfirst Jamie Zajac, Senior Director of Care Coordination, Colorado Access Omar Manejwala, MD, Chief Medical Officer, DarioHealth Together, they explore: How health plans are designing care models around daily life rather than visit cadence, closing visibility gaps that claims and labs fail to capture What actually works when continuous engagement, behavioral support, and real-time data are combined to influence adherence and sustained behavior change How home-based data capture, AI-driven personalization, and integrated human coaching are improving outcomes across cardiometabolic, behavioral health, and musculoskeletal populations How these capabilities are being embedded into care management, quality improvement, and benefit design, particularly in environments facing access barriers, workforce constraints, and geographic limitations This episode offers an honest look at the structural, operational, and cultural shifts required to manage what happens between visits, and why that interval is where outcomes are ultimately won.

Drawing on emerging evidence and real-world implementation, the report shows how continuous guidance, low-friction engagement, and integrated human support can influence daily behavior, preserve outcomes beyond treatment, and close the gap between what is authorized and what actually happens. Inside, you'll find insights on: Reframing benefit design from static access and eligibility rules to longitudinal accountability for sustained behavior Using data from daily life, behavioral, biometric, and contextual to move beyond lagging claims and EHR signals Applying operational personalization to intervene earlier and adapt support as member needs change Integrating targeted human support with technology to manage the transition after treatment and prevent backsliding Why investing in care without proximity is becoming urgent as workforce constraints and chronic disease prevalence continue to rise To request your copy from show producer, Vekonda Luangaphay at email vluangaphay@brightspotsventures.com.

In this Bright Spots in Healthcare episode, Medicare Advantage leaders confront a hard truth: high activity does not guarantee high impact. As Stars cut points rise and margins tighten, traditional segmentation and broad outreach strategies are no longer sufficient. This discussion explores how leading plans are shifting from static stratification to dynamic signal monitoring, identifying which members are realistically movable, and embedding behavioral intelligence directly into operational workflows. The focus is not on doing more. It is on doing what measurably drives lift. Our guests include: Amin Serehali, Chief Data and Analytics Officer, Independent Health Mike Leiper, Director of Government Quality Programs, Highmark Brendan Generelli, Director of Medicare Stars and Quality, Johns Hopkins Health Plans David Burianek, Chief Strategy Officer for Health Plans, MedOrion Together, they explore: How plans are distinguishing between theoretical risk and practical movability, concentrating outreach on members whose behavior can realistically change within a defined window. How leading organizations are integrating claims, pharmacy, grievance, complaint, and social drivers data with behavioral science modeling to move beyond rules based campaigns. Why simultaneous pressure across HEDIS, CAHPS, and Part D often reflects fragmentation in engagement strategy rather than isolated measure failures. How targeted pilots within defined populations create clarity before scaling enterprise wide changes. Why timing is emerging as a strategic lever, with continuous signal monitoring replacing annual segmentation refresh cycles. How embedding intelligence into frontline workflows improves alignment between engagement effort and measurable Stars influence.
