Welcome to a special episode of The Uprising Show! Today, we take you on a journey into the heart of Swedish healthcare with Dr. Sara Loden, a physician and the founder of Proact Life. In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Loden shares her passion for moving healthcare "upstream" focusing on prevention and health literacy long before diagnosis or crisis strike.

From growing up in a small Swedish town to navigating the complexities of public health systems, Sara candidly discusses the strengths and challenges of Swedish medicine, how burnout has impacted clinicians worldwide, and why current approaches often focus on "sick care" rather than true healthcare. She makes a compelling case for empowering patients through education, explaining how simple knowledge can be medicine in itself and help people make better choices.

We dive into the differences between Swedish and American healthcare, the unique struggles facing both systems, and the innovative work being done at Proact Life to create healthier, more knowledgeable communities. Dr. Loden also shares her vision for a more human-centered healthcare future, reveals her dream of opening a rural clinic, and offers insights for people everywhere on how to take charge of their health.

If you're curious about global perspectives on healthcare, passionate about prevention, or simply interested in how small changes can make a big difference, this episode is for you.

Welcome to The Uprising Show! In this thought-provoking episode, host Vivek sits down with Sergei Polevikov an accomplished mathematician, healthcare AI entrepreneur, and the candid author of the Substack newsletter "AI Health Uncut." Sergei shares his fascinating journey from Belarus to the front lines of AI innovation in healthcare, discussing how his passion for mathematics, research, and problem-solving led him from finance to making a real difference in digital health.

Sergei opens up about the tough realities and unique challenges of bringing cutting-edge AI into the healthcare industry, how his startups (including WellAI and Chart 2 Chart) have navigated complexities during the Covid era, and why data when harnessed correctly can feel like magic. The conversation pulls back the curtain on the difficulties of healthcare innovation, from navigating entrenched interests to addressing mismatched incentives among investors, providers, and patients.

He also dives into his Substack work, where he doesn't just celebrate AI’s wins but also investigates failures and exposes issues like misleading benchmarks, industry hype, and even alleged fraud. Whether it's his critique of venture capital’s role in digital health or his advocacy for more honest, research-based advancements, Sergei's frank insights and deep expertise make this a must-listen for founders, clinicians, and anyone passionate about the future of healthcare and AI.
