The Intel Alumni Network taps visionaries Dr. Thomas Insel, Dr. Joseph Kvedar and Dr. Jordan Shlain to unpack the future of healthcare for generations to come. The discussion focuses on how the intersection of nascent technologies and the pandemic led to rapid advances in precision and personalized medicine, mental healthcare, and telehealth.

Dr. Joe Kvedar has been shaping the future of healthcare tech for over 30 years—and he’s not done yet. In this episode, the Harvard dermatologist turned digital health pioneer breaks down why telehealth skyrocketed during COVID, why it stalled, and what needs to change to scale it further. We dig into AI’s current limits, the potential of specialty models, and the hard truth: healthcare’s labor crisis won’t be solved by more workers—it’ll take smart tech. For those in skilled nursing and long-term care, Dr. Kvedar offers a clear-eyed business case for connected care, plus advice on overcoming cultural resistance to change. If you’re thinking about the next decade of healthcare, this one’s required listening.

Could you please share your point of view on why you believe in this concept? 06:20 It’s been more than a year since the pandemic is technically over. What’s the current state of telehealth, and how do you evaluate the impact of the pandemic on telemedicine overall? 09:29 Companies like Amwell and Teladoc were obviously at the center of attention during the pandemic attracting tons of capital and media coverage. But looks like now both companies are struggling. A good proof for that is their stock price which is around $10 per share now. How can you explain this? Is that a really bad sign for every smaller telehealth vendor? 12:07 In one of the latest articles, you presented a real plan on how to improve telehealth adoption. Could you please share some of the key points for our listeners? Reference: https://joekvedar.com/making-telehealth-an-imperative/ 15:50 Do you think telehealth can help with the lack of healthcare professionals by attracting doctors from abroad? 17:53 How can we improve telehealth from a technical perspective? 21:04 In your TedTalk, you mentioned that many times instead of adopting technologies, we start to compete with them. Do you think, now we start competing with AI? 23:34 Have you tried any of the scribe tools and what do you think of them? 25:12 Since we talked a lot about healthcare delivery, could you please describe how you envision it in a perfect world? What should it look like? 28:05 Joseph's piece of advice for startup founders in digital health. Thanks for joining us on this deep dive into the future of telehealth!

A decade ago when his team began research into how digital communications technologies could be used to improve health care delivery, Joseph Kvedar, MD, expected to prove that new kinds of data streams to clinicians would be the key. To his surprise, he found that data streams to patients was what actually made the crucial difference. Director of Partners Healthcare's Center for Connected Health in Boston and the man who coined the now widely-used term "connected health," Kvedar was the keynote speaker at a symposium on that topic at the University of Pennsylvania. This is his complete 29-minute address.

Joseph C. Kvedar, MD is the president of the American Telemedicine Association (ATA) and an international leader in the field of applying telehealth to physician practices. In this video, Dr. Kvedar discusses the "Virtual Visit".

Joseph Kvedar, the founder and director of the Center for Connected Health at Partners Healthcare, presents his talk, "Quantification to Improve Health," about the work towards integrating self-tracking tools from within the healthcare business.

A Doctor’s Prescription for Connected Health Longevity Joseph Kvedar, MD, Vice President, Connected Health, Partners HealthCare Over 20 years ago, Partners HealthCare embarked on a journey to explore the application of technology to improve care delivery, in an era when telehealth was perceived as the lunatic fringe. Today, connected health is mainstreaming and service offerings abound from unusual market entrants, such as Walgreens and CVS, startup companies, healthcare innovators, and consumer technology giants like Philips and Samsung. Is the snowball rolling down hill on its own yet? Are market dynamics creating a perfect storm? Recent experience suggests that some practical, but surmountable barriers exist. Hear from connected health visionary, Dr. Joe Kvedar, how connected health can succeed and where we go from here.
