#27 Harry Soza: Building CAREMINDr and the Future of Everyday Health

Harry Soza traces a three-decade arc of health-tech innovation—from pre-internet pharmacy transactions to AI-assisted, patient-reported data that keeps people healthy between visits. He founded Preferred Solutions in the 1980s, adapting credit-card authorization technology to enable the first real-time formulary checks at the pharmacy counter and showing that simple peer comparisons could shift physician prescribing within weeks. He then built Resolution Health, which stitched together messy claims, pharmacy, and provider identifiers to surface “care gaps,” sending insurer-backed member reports that improved doctor–patient conversations and even exposed miscoding and fraud.Today, as CEO of CAREMINDr, Soza describes how smartphones, low-cost sensors, and modern analytics form a continuous “healthcare umbilical cord” for long-duration conditions like hypertension. Brief, condition-specific check-ins plus biometrics create a longitudinal picture that AI scans for trends and risk signals, enabling timely course corrections without overloading clinicians. Throughout, he argues that guidance beats information overload for patients and highlights the system’s shift toward value-based care that rewards keeping people well. His thesis is clear: the convergence of three health technologies now makes proactive, scalable chronic-care management achievable—improving quality of life for patients, preserving productivity for employers, and reducing costly interventions for payers.Learn more:www.CAREMINDr.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/harrysozahttps://vimeo.com/1093742081/b2c947e05bAbout Federico Ramallo:Software Engineering Manager | Founder of DensityLabs.io & PreVetted.ai | Connecting U.S. teams with top nearshore LATAM engineers.- 💼 https://www.linkedin.com/in/framallo/- 🌐 https://densitylabs.io- ✅ https://prevetted.aiPreVetted Podcast:- 🎙 https://prevetted.ai/podcastCHAPTERS00:00 Introduction to Health Tech and Entrepreneurship02:49 The Birth of Preferred Solutions05:57 Navigating Healthcare Technology Challenges11:50 The Impact of Data Privacy in Healthcare17:54 Understanding Patient Data and Care Gaps23:37 Empowering Patients with Information29:32 The Role of Technology in Patient Care34:24 Understanding Patient Awareness and Treatment Options38:33 The Role of CareMinder in Patient Health42:14 Innovations in Healthcare Technology53:34 The Shift to Value-Based Care01:03:42 Understanding Health Metrics and Personal Responsibility01:06:17 The Value of Health and Technology01:09:00 Quality of Life vs. Quantity of Life01:11:46 The Importance of Staying Active01:15:56 Living Life to the Fullest01:18:40 The Power of Connection and Shared Experiences
