Affordable Primary Care Everywhere - Eren Bali, CEO and Co-Founder of Carbon Health

What this episode covers

As a child in rural southeastern Turkey, Eren Bali knew that people died needlessly for lack of access to healthcare. This explains his passion for making affordable healthcare available to everyone, the mission of his successful start-up Carbon Health. Bali and his team took a fresh look at every aspect of primary care delivery with an eye toward efficiency for both patients and providers, and built a new process from the ground up. Patients book appointments and onboard themselves using a mobile app, increasing their convenience and reducing the administrative workload. Mobile clinics in multiple locations handle routine needs using nurses or medical assistants, with physicians joining appointments via video as needed. AI predicts diagnostic tests needed before appointments so clinicians can discuss results when the patient comes in for their visit. Carbon leveraged these and other innovations during COVID, becoming a sought-after provider of testing and other services. This year’s 800% growth rate may not be an aberration as the company plans to grow to 1,500 locations in the next several years. Join Bali and host Shiv Gaglani as they dive into the emergence of “omni-channel care”, his mission to protect providers from unnecessary administrative work, and why 98% of the job offers Carbon makes to clinicians are accepted.
