Podcasts about othman laraki

Most AI in healthcare promises superintelligence—but what if that's the wrong goal entirely?In this episode, Michael and Halle speak with Othman Laraki, co-founder and CEO of Color Health, to talk about why real-world care doesn't need a perfect model—it needs a better system. Othman breaks down how Color evolved from a consumer genetics startup into a nationwide virtual cancer clinic, why most diagnostics businesses fail, and how AI can actually support clinicians without trying to replace them.We cover:

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology and entrepreneurship, few stories are as multifaceted and inspiring as that of Othman Laraki. This interview dives into Othman's story, offering a deep exploration of the world of building, scaling, and transforming companies. Othman relates his experiences working in healthcare and artificial intelligence and eventually building Color Health. This venture has attracted funding from top-tier investors like General Catalyst Partners, Viking Global Investors, Emerson Collective, and T. Rowe Price.

Color Health is delivering care programs in the public and private sectors that vertically integrate disparate workflows to drive outcomes for all stakeholders, cofounder and CEO Othman Laraki tells Bloomberg Intelligence. In this episode of the Vanguards of Health Care podcast, Laraki sits down with BI analyst Jonathan Palmer for a discussion on the company's pivot to health delivery, the challenges facing self-insured employers, its partnership with the American Cancer Society and why fee-for-service shouldn't be a dirty word. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The U.S. healthcare market isn't exactly known for its efficiency. A quarter of every dollar spent on healthcare in the U.S. covers the transaction itself, and the market frequently limits consumers to a handful of choices. Othman Laraki, CEO of Color Health, joins Justin to share his vision of a more free and open healthcare market with less friction, lower costs, and greater access. Othman and Justin discuss how underutilization of preventive care amplifies expenses downstream, whether decoupling health insurance and clinical networks can improve access, and why efforts on the margins can go a long way toward eliminating friction across the care continuum.Justin and Othman also brush off their macroeconomics textbooks to examine the market from an academic perspective: Do current payment models manufacture scarcity? Might other industries' markets offer a positive model for healthcare? And can increased competition keep the market from swallowing the value we put into it? This discussion is literally one for the books. To learn more about Definitive Healthcare, please visit us at definitivehc.com.

What if you could discover what diseases you're genetically predisposed for? That's the problem Othman Laraki set out to solve at Color, with a tech-forward approach to genomics. Since launching in 2013, Color's aim has expanded to building public health infrastructure (making it no surprise that Color is one of San Francisco's biggest Covid-19 test providers). With degrees from Stanford and MIT and tech experience from Twitter and Google, Othman is bringing an outsider's view to healthtech. Othman shares why entrepreneurship requires a level of irrationality, why a minimalistic UI is critical in healthcare, and how he defines Color's customers.

In this episode of Health Stories, Erik is talking to Othman Laraki (@othman) and Alicia Zhou (@ay_zhou) of Color. Othman is co-founder and CEO and Alicia Zhou is Head of Research. Othman explains the personal reason that he started Color and why he got involved in the healthcare space after previously working at Google and running a company that was acquired by Twitter.Alicia and Othman explain the advances Color has made in genomics and how the approach they’re taking is different from that of other companies in the space. You might not have known that 30% of your health is related to your genome. There are also a number of new types of care that can be unlocked by having your genome sequenced.Othman explains how at Color they are hoping to follow the model of Google or Amazon where early in the company’s life they focus on doing one thing really well, then expand into other areas. He also talks about where he would be building a company in the space if he wasn't working at Color as well as where he might look to invest. They also discuss the time Othman wore a glucose monitor full-time and how it changed how he thinks about health, why he is hoping for an “iPhone moment” in the healthcare space, and why the future of cancer treatment will be much more about prevention than treatment.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.

Recode Decode: Doctors should think like mechanics (Othman Laraki, CEO, Color) by Best Of Tech & Startups

Color Genomics co-founder and CEO Othman Laraki talks with Recode's Kara Swisher about why we're on the verge of a healthcare revolution. Laraki, whose company tests buyers' genes for certain hereditary cancers, says the future of medicine will be defined by our ability to read data from our bodies. While most of that data used to be recorded on paper and stored at hospitals, now it's largely being generated and stored on our smartphones; he predicts that to achieve truly personalized medicine, we will need artificially intelligenct software that can comb this data, changing the role of doctors in the process.

The O'Reilly Radar Podcast: Color Genomics, genetic testing access, and the future of precision medicine.This week, I chat with Othman Laraki, co-founder of Color Genomics. We chat about challenges and opportunities in genetic testing, the future of precision medicine, and the hurdles medicine and health care are currently facing (and how we can overcome them).Here are some highlights: Genetics testing for everyone Genetics, we felt, had come to a point where there was an opportunity to have a very big impact by essentially mixing some of the best of the biology world with software—in many ways, genetics had started to become, in part, a software problem. It felt like it was starting to be possible to build products that made genetics accessible to a much broader population by both dropping costs as well as increasing access, so making this information more accessible to a much broader population in a scalable way. ... For example, one of the things we did that we're very proud of is we created this program called the Every Woman Program, where whenever someone buys a test from Color, they can also contribute to fund testing for someone who can't afford it. Then we work with a number of cancer centers, for example at UCSF and the University of Washington, Morehouse in Georgia, and a number of others, where each one of those centers works with underprivileged populations, and they can provide tests for free for people who can't afford it but who the doctors think should get tested. Opportunities in machine learning One of the big opportunities for machine learning in genetics, for example, is around the interpretation of the effects of specific genetic changes. Right now, there are set of guidelines or processes that are used by the industry around the interpretation of how a specific mutation impacts a gene. It's a structured process that's very labor intensive, but it's one of those areas where over time is going to become something that's very heavily solved by machine learning because there's a lot of data that can be used to train a model instead of purely running it in a manual way. The industry is going to evolve quite a bit over the next few years and machine learning is going to have very substantial impact there. Using the full data set of the human body Each one of us is carrying and generating a tremendous amount of data in our daily lives, whether it's our genome, our microbiome, etc., etc. So far, the link between that data and health practice had been through the path of research and translation to a few proxies, essentially, where researchers collect a lot of data, they do a research study, it turns into a set of conclusions, and that over time gets turned into a few rules that get introduced into medical practice. If someone's lipid levels are at this level, etc., then you draw these kinds of conclusions. Now, we're coming to the point where the amount of data that a doctor will be able to use in a real way to make medical decisions is going to be the full data set of our bodies, which is very exciting and can have a very big impact. Long-tail distribution of genetic insights In some ways, I feel right now we've come to this point where there's been enough data and science behind us that we can already create a lot of value, and that allows the bootstrapping of doing things at a massive scale that really takes us to that long-tail distribution of insights around how genetics work and how the body works.
