Making healthcare more accessible and personalized has perhaps never seemed like a more valued endeavor. Today, we sit down with a man putting his knowledge and skills to work to make that vision a reality – Brad Bostic, Founder and CEO of hc1.

hc1, short for “Health Cloud One,” is a tech company focused on personalized medicine and predictive diagnostics. Brad founded hc1 in an effort to turn lab data into personalized healthcare insights that health systems could then use to provide better care for their patients.

In today’s episode, we discuss Brad’s origin story and what kickstarted his entrepreneurial journey. Brad also shares what his team is doing to help slow the spread of the Covid-19 virus, and how he predicts this pandemic will reshape our perception of personalized healthcare across the globe.

Key Discussion Points:
