Welcome to a brand new episode of The Uprising Show! In this episode, host Vivek Nanda sits down with Dr. Jacob Kantrowitz, internal medicine physician, entrepreneur, and co-founder of River Records. Dr. Kantrowitz shares his journey from an early fascination with computer science at Milton Academy to pursuing both medicine and technology through an MD/PhD program at Boston University. Together, they unpack the genesis of River Records, a healthcare tech startup on a mission to transform how clinicians manage and access patient information using natural language processing and AI.
Dr. Kantrowitz dives into the complexity of healthcare information systems, explaining how current electronic health records often fall short for physicians and how River Records is flipping the script to build truly clinician-friendly workflows. He talks candidly about the challenges of bringing new tech to such a regulated, tradition-bound industry and why starting with smaller practices, rather than giant health systems, is a smarter path for disruptive startups.
The discussion also takes a forward-looking turn as Dr. Kantrowitz and Vivek explore the future of medical education in the age of AI, the changing role of physicians, and how new technology can empower, rather than replace, human connection in patient care. Dr. Kantrowitz even shares a few lighter personal insights, including his passion for bread baking and his favorite college squash memories.
Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation about medicine, entrepreneurship, and the human side of healthcare innovation!
