a16z Podcast · rss · 2026-09-06
a16z General Partner Julie Yoo argues healthcare could benefit more from AI than almost any other industry. Having skipped the heavy legacy-software layers other sectors built, healthcare may leapfrog straight into agentic AI, driven by an organic adoption wave of tools doctors and patients actually want. The conversation covers AI's potential to slash care costs, consumers becoming a bigger payer, the biggest opportunities for healthcare founders, and a future where everyone has a lifelong personalized AI doctor in their pocket.
