S3E7: What's Trending NOW is Turning Healthcare AI into ROI. Host Shahid Shah welcomes Michael Meucci, President and CEO of Arcadia, for a compelling conversation on the real drivers of healthcare AI success. Fresh off the news of Arcadia’s strategic investment from Nordic Capital, Meucci shares how this signals a new era in healthcare analytics—one where data is the differentiator and AI is only as smart as the workflows it supports. From busting the myth that value-based care has stalled to explaining why clinicians reject AI that lacks trust and usability, Meucci offers a blueprint for sustainable digital transformation. Learn how healthcare leaders can move from AI hype to operational reality—and why now is the time to reevaluate those stalled AI pilots.
