Co-Founder and Chief AI Officer, Carenostics Inc.
Bharat Rao, PhD, is a healthcare AI leader with over 25 years of experience building and deploying AI solutions that work. He has developed 20+ healthcare AI products, holds 60+ patents, and has authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications. His solutions have been deployed at thousands of health systems impacting millions of patients worldwide, and used by global pharma and biotech companies to improve care, research, and real-world evidence generation. He led the AI transformation of two multi-billion multinational corporations and is the recipient of the ACM’s highest lifetime award for contributions to AI and data science.
In this fireside chat, Dr. Rao shares hard-won lessons from 25 years of healthcare AI deployment: what works, what fails, and what to avoid. He draws on current partnerships with health systems and pharma to address underdiagnosis and undertreatment in chronic disease. He also highlights his latest effort: using predictive and generative AI to automate the transplant journey, driving financial sustainability, improving outcomes, and relieving care team burden across one of healthcare’s most complex workflows.

Partners
In 1997, Tactix set out to radically change the commercial real estate brokerage model. We believed by hiring the smartest and most experienced brokers, creating a culture of collaboration and teamwork, encouraging teams to form around the client’s specific needs, and committing to never (ever) represent landlords, we could change brokerage as usual. Almost 30 years later, we are still fulfilling that mission every day.
Philly Startup Leaders fosters entrepreneurship and economic growth by connecting founders with the knowledge, resources, and relationships they need to succeed in Philadelphia and beyond. We believe that entrepreneurs are the backbone of our society. Our mission is to make more of them.
