Why AI in Healthcare Must Start With Strategy—Not Shiny Tools
Early Google engineer and Silicon Valley innovator Murali Vivekanandan, CEO of Ideas2IT, brings a rare blend of tech and healthcare expertise to the Sparxcast Unleashed podcast. In this conversation, he explains why AI’s impact on healthcare depends less on flashy pilots and more on building a strategic foundation—one that balances operational efficiency, clinical safety, and long-term competitiveness.
Vivekanandan shares how providers, payers, and service organizations can move beyond “vendor roadmaps” to own their AI destiny, with practical advice on building data backbones, applying human-in-the-loop safeguards, and proving ROI step by step. He also opens up about scaling a 750-person engineering firm with almost no turnover—by putting employee happiness ahead of everything else.
