Fireside Chat: Reimagining the Consumer Healthcare Experience

Healthcare is at an inflection point — where consumer expectations, enterprise scale, and artificial intelligence are converging in ways that can fundamentally change how people experience care. In this fireside chat, Tilak Mandadi joins Mike Morello to explore what it takes to modernize healthcare in an AI-native world. Drawing on Tilak’s experience leading digital transformation across multiple industries, the conversation will examine what makes healthcare uniquely complex to evolve, where AI can deliver the earliest measurable impact, and how an “incurgent” mindset — combining incumbent scale with insurgent speed — is essential to driving meaningful change. Together, they’ll discuss how CVS Health is connecting pharmacy, benefits, and care delivery to create more seamless consumer experiences, how strategic venture investments accelerate innovation, and what policymakers, employers, and industry leaders can do to help unlock the next era of health care transformation.
