Because healthcare never built the same layers of legacy software as other industries, it may now be able to leapfrog directly into agentic AI.\nThey also explore how AI could dramatically lower the cost of care, why consumers are becoming a more important payer, where Julie sees the biggest opportunities for healthcare founders, and a future where everyone has a highly personalized AI doctor in their pocket for life.\n"}
