Vasant Kumar is the CEO of CareCentra. In this episode we get to know Vasant's background and what led him to work at a major pharma company, the World Bank and finally, what chance circumstances led him to move to the United States and form first Scriptlogix and ultimately CareCentra. Vasant tells us how he operationalized the Nobel Prize winning concepts of behavioral economics and nudge theory, as well as the behavioral model developed by BJ Fogg, and applied these concepts to healthcare with documented improvements in patient adherence to healthy behaviors, while simultaneously maintaining 98+ percent patient engagement and net promoter scores consistently above 80. This is the next frontier in healthcare; bending behaviors toward health. Knowing that someone is at risk is not enough. We must be able to help patients form and maintain healthy habits. Leveraging lessons learned from his work with the Harvard Business School as well as a lifetime of experience, Vasant shows us how it is possible to do exactly that. The discussion is liberally sprinkled with personal anecdotes and leadership pearls gleaned from the giants of the technology and innovation revolutions, such as Bill Gates, Reggie Herzlinger, and many others. I believe you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Are you ready to connect?
