The $1T Shift to Healthcare Intelligence With Dr. Allan Stewart

“I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.”Healthcare is a $4.5 trillion industry, yet most clinicians are still skating to where the puck is, optimizing for legacy systems built around brick-and-mortar hospitals and manual workflows.Dr. Allan Stewart is doing the opposite.He believes healthcare is entering a “Gretzky Moment”, a once-in-a-generation shift where as much as $1 trillion will move from traditional infrastructure to Healthcare Intelligence.AI-driven systems, predictive care, and decision augmentation will redefine how medicine is practiced, and who holds leverage.About the Guest Dr. Allan Stewart:Dr. Allan Stewart, MD, is a world-renowned cardiothoracic surgeon who has performed more than 5,000 open-heart surgeries across six continents. He specializes in complex aortic disease, structural heart interventions, and advanced cardiac surgery.He completed his surgical training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University Medical Center, where he later served as Assistant Professor of Cardiac Surgery.
