"This message that families get of, 'Go home and love your kids; there's nothing you can do,' it literally just irritates the hell out of me because we can do something about it," Rich said.Julia Hu, 35, keeps compassion in mind as she expands care for patients with chronic illnesses using artificial intelligence.Julia Hu's own management of a chronic health condition has shaped how she thinks about transforming healthcare.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the US government relaxed its rules on telehealth so that people could have more access to their doctors over the phone and videoconferencing. That helped Lark land contracts to manage more patients. "I was using the same technologies, the same huge amounts of data, the same work developing new models to extract insights, just for a better cause," Huyghues-Despointes told Business Insider.
"You have a feeling of urgency, working at Owkin, even more than venture capital or other tech startups, or working in the finance industry," Huyghues-Despointes said.

Jain joined Scan Health Plan in July. Scan, a nearly 40-year-old company, was founded by "12 angry seniors" who were fed up with the state of aging care and wanted to build a health plan that'd keep older people independent and healthy, Jain said.

At first there was a shock to the system with people figuring out how to ensure they are able to have the mental and physical health that's required to thrive," Maloney said. "The month thereafter was when there was some sense of routine, and these behaviors, in particular, have fundamentally been disrupted and that's here to stay.

Metcalfe, who's from South Africa, went to the UK to get her Ph.D. in cell biology before joining Roche's Genentech unit as a postdoctoral fellow in 2010.
At Genentech, her lab works to find out if the molecules chemists at the company have identified do what they need to do. "You can have the best science in the world, but if you cannot speak the language of the investors and actually be able to raise the resources needed for that, they will never see the patients," Oney said.
