An audacious vision and actionable roadmap to a future where your health is unified, intelligent, and truly yours Health is failing and care is fragmenting—and together they're bankrupting America. How do we break through today’s maze of silos and create a single, person-first system that actually delivers health? In Intelligent Health: The Movement to Unify Data, Harness AI, and Empower People to Thrive, physician-executive and global health strategist Dr. Nasim Afsar delivers a bold yet practical blueprint for transforming health and care. Drawing on nearly two decades of leadership at the highest levels—from serving as Chief Health Officer at Oracle to leading billion-dollar health systems—Dr. Afsar shows how we can move from today’s fragmented, reactive model to one that is personalized, predictive, preventive, and participatory. Intelligent Health makes an uncompromising case that unifying all of your health data, applying intelligence to it, and owning it outright is no longer optional—it's essential to improving outcomes, lowering costs, and restoring humanity to care. Drawing on compelling stories, actionable strategies, and deep expertise—shaped by partnerships with White House and global health agencies as well as serving on healthcare technology boards—this book is both a blueprint for transformation and a rallying cry for consumers of health and care, innovators, investors, policymakers, and health and care leaders alike. Inside you’ll discover: From consumers of health and care to industry leaders, Intelligent Health empowers you to convert data into powerful insights about the present and predictive intelligence for the future, putting you in charge of your health destiny. The movement starts now—because your health, your care, and our collective future can’t wait.
