AI has never had more attention. But the real transformation begins when it moves from promise to practice.

In this episode of Early Signs, Prashant Warier, Co-founder & CEO of Qure.ai, sits down with Dr. Amit Kakar, Managing Partner, Head of Novo Holdings Asia, for a wide-ranging conversation on what it will take for AI to create meaningful impact in healthcare.

Despite the extraordinary attention around AI, Amit believes its adoption across healthcare is still only at the “tip of the iceberg.” The opportunity now is to move beyond the hype and embed AI into the systems, workflows and decisions where it can make a real difference.

From radiologists working alongside AI to technology becoming almost invisible in clinical workflows, they explore what adoption could actually look like. They also get into how investors are thinking about AI companies, why Amit wouldn’t invest in a “pure AI” company, and where AI can create real value.

The conversation looks further ahead too to digital twins that could put a person’s entire health history at their fingertips, faster drug discovery and clinical trials, and just how far AI could ultimately take human health.
