"Last month, the venture capital firm published its AI thesis, arguing that the healthcare industry must start moving beyond narrow use cases for AI and embrace more workflow-integrated platforms in order to achieve lasting impact. A convergence of factors - ongoing money problems, rapid technical advances and growing readiness among healthcare customers - is giving way to what Define calls a "once-in-a-generation moment" in which the best workflow-integrated AI startups can transform how care is delivered, paid for and experienced."
"Define uses the "house of healthcare" as a framework for understanding healthcare innovation. This includes the front door, where patients first interact with the system; the foundation, made up of data and infrastructure; and the rooms, representing care delivery. When it comes to the front door, AI can make outreach and engagement more personalized by combining clinical and personal data. Innovation for the foundation has historically centered on digitization and aggregation - with AI, healthcare organizations are turning that data into insight, Shah explained."
Artificial intelligence in healthcare shows strong potential but remains under-adopted. Healthcare must move beyond narrow point solutions toward workflow-integrated platforms to achieve lasting impact. A convergence of financial pressures, rapid technical advances, and growing buyer readiness creates a unique opportunity for transformation. The "house of healthcare" framework frames innovation across the front door (patient engagement), the foundation (data and infrastructure), and the rooms (care delivery). AI can personalize outreach, convert digitized data into actionable insight, and offload administrative tasks like charting and documentation to allow clinicians to focus on patients. Early-stage startups are already automating intake, eligibility, and chart abstraction.
