Author: HealthIMPACT Live April 22, 2025 Duration: 28:54

Join us as we explore how Raju Joshi, CCO and Co-founder of Cogensus, is leveraging digital innovation to address loneliness as a critical social determinant of health. Raju brings 30+ years of healthcare expertise to discuss how AI-powered conversations capture patient sentiments, provide valuable clinical context, and preserve personal legacies. This session examines the intersection of technology, social health, and the Surgeon General's focus on loneliness as a public health priority.

  • Combat loneliness through AI-driven conversations that create meaningful connections for vulnerable patients
  • Capture critical social context missing from traditional clinical data to improve treatment adherence and outcomes for socially isolated patients
  • Integrate patient narratives directly into clinical workflows to enable seamless coordination between healthcare providers, caregivers, and patients

Each week, Digital Health Talks-Changemakers Focused on Fixing Healthcare brings you straight to the intersection of medicine and innovation. This isn't about abstract theories; it's a grounded conversation with the clinicians, administrators, and technology leaders who are actively redesigning systems. You'll hear their firsthand accounts of implementing tools like telehealth platforms and AI-driven analytics to tackle real-world problems-from expanding access in underserved communities to personalizing patient care. The discussions cut through the hype, focusing on practical applications of cloud infrastructure, 5G, and machine learning that are making a measurable difference today. Produced by HealthIMPACT Live, the podcast digs into the nuanced questions these changemakers face: deciding where limited resources are best invested, how to ethically leverage patient data, and what it truly takes to improve clinical outcomes. If you're curious about the tangible work being done to reshape our healthcare experience, this is a place to listen in on the honest, complex, and hopeful work of building a better system.
