In this episode, Jose Macion, founder and CEO of GenOp Health, discusses his vision for a “healthcare internet” built on blockchain, enabling secure, real-time data exchange among hospitals, providers, and payers. He explains why blockchain can help track transactions, enhance security, and facilitate scalable data sharing as networks expand. He also describes bootstrapping his first company with no outside investment, building an early team through family connections, and how the COVID work-from-home era helped him focus and ship. Jose also touches on the lack of a national patient identifier, his concept of an “artificially intelligent patient search engine” to correlate records across facilities using identifiers and demographics, and his view of the shift from generative AI to agentic AI.  Tune in and learn how interoperability, security, and practical execution can make healthcare AI actually work!
