Kate Ryder

Um, my, my dad's one of five, my mom's one of seven, so a lot of cousins.

In fact, our mutual friend, Kate Ryder, may be the only person with more cousins than me.

Um, and, uh, you know, the, I, I went to medical school because, um, I had a lot of examples in my Indian uncles and aunties of, of people who, who took that on as a noble profession.

Um, but that was actually the last predictable thing that happened in my career.

Um, and even though I hadn't finished medical school yet, I learned that policymakers are like astronomers looking through a telescope at a planet that I lived on, and I could tell them things that they didn't know.

Um, and in particular, one of the things I took away from that was that so much of the lead-up to the Affordable Care Act was about Medicare recipients, people over sixty-five.

And I was in a phase of life where my friends and family were starting and growing their families, and I thought all that work should apply to that generation of people, too.

And my take to this day is that our politics can be well explained by how we do and don't attend to the needs of people in that phase of life.

If you're, if you're a proactive person and you, you wanna be healthy and live a long life, I mean, so much of healthcare is now moving into longevity, and I think AI's gonna just power that.

This week, I am so excited to bring you my conversation with Maven Clinic founder and CEO Kate Ryder.

Kate worked in journalism and venture capital before she started Maven in 2014 with the goal of bridging gaps in women's healthcare.

I talked to Kate about how Maven is embracing AI to help identify health risks early and also to nudge patients to be better advocates for themselves.

So with so much concern and fears about the impact of AI, this is a great look at the women who are driving positive change a- and using AI to help their, their customers and the workforce.

And next week we're gonna be launching, um, our podcast with Kate Ryder.

Uh, she runs the women's healthcare company called Maven.

So we have a bunch of great podcasts coming up this year, um, including with Paris Hilton, who has a whole AI initiative as well.

I hope you enjoyed my conversation with Lila Ibrahim.

On next week's episode of CNBC Changemakers, I talk to Kate Ryder.

She's the founder and CEO of women's healthcare company, Maven.

One of our values was keep healthcare human, um, because 10 years ago, everyone thought robots were replacing doctors.
