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.
