Transforming Healthcare: The Huma Journey

Dan Vahdat, the founder and CEO of Huma, is on a mission to change how the healthcare industry approaches research, treatment, and care.

Growing up in a family of doctors, Dan saw how 24/7 treatment of patients often deteriorates as soon as they leave the hospital – which is typically when complications occur. To fix this, he started Huma in 2011, a London-based company focused on making healthcare more proactive. Huma’s digital platforms are now used by over 3,000 hospitals and millions of people around the world. Recently, Huma raised over $80 million in funding to support its new AI-powered platform. In this episode of The Venture, Dan talks with McKinsey’s Timothy Yap about how AI and wearable technology are playing a key role in improving healthcare and why success still relies more on people than technology.
