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.
Open Source Health with Tripp Johnson
AI in Therapy: Are Human Providers Already Being Replaced?
AI’s most popular use case in 2025 isn’t coding or writing—it’s therapy and companionship.
In this episode, Tripp Johnson and Marcus Shumate dive into the implications of that surprising stat. What does it mean for behavioral health providers? How do we prove our value when AI is already winning on access and affordability?
They explore:
- The growing use of AI for therapy, companionship, and even finding purpose
- Why “people are the point” still matters—if we make it matter
- How behavioral health might shift toward community-building and real-world relationships
- What flourishing looks like in a world of curated isolation and algorithmic comfort
- Why the future of therapy might look more like a YMCA than a clinic
Whether you're a provider, a patient, or just AI-curious, this episode asks the questions we all need to wrestle with—before the market makes the decisions for us.
