Open Source Health with Tripp Johnson
Open Source Health is the podcast that doesn't just talk about fixing healthcare—we're actively doing it. I'm Tripp Johnson, CEO of the Advaita Collective, and I'm here to take you behind the scenes as we build a technology-forward, stakeholder-centric healthcare company. Our mission? To bring transparency and innovation to an industry that desperately needs both.
Join us as we dive into the intersections of policy, technology, and hands-on healthcare. We offer a rare glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of creating a system that works for everyone—patients, providers, policymakers, payers, and technologists alike. We'll share our journey of building in the open and have candid conversations with our team and other like-minded change-makers who are as passionate as we are about revolutionizing healthcare.
This is Open Source Health, where we don't just diagnose the problems; we roll up our sleeves and work on the solutions. Let's get started.
