“In five years in healthcare, every single person in America will have the same kind of quality of healthcare that Jeff Bezos has.” Akido Labs co-founder and CEO Prashant Samant joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Jonathan Palmer to explain why AI could turn concierge medicine from a luxury into a mass-market model. Samant traces Akido’s evolution from a health-data platform into a full-stack care-delivery system serving roughly 1 million patients, and details how Scope AI is designed to expand clinician capacity without removing physicians from the loop. The conversation explores Akido’s street-medicine work, value-based care, plans to enter 50 markets and why Samant believes the era of waiting months for a specialist could soon look obsolete.
