About this episode

How can lean principles and artificial intelligence revolutionize the healthcare industry, creating a more efficient and effective system that benefits providers and patients? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Mohan Giridharadas, founder and CEO of LeanTaaS, a company at the forefront of transforming healthcare operations through innovation. 

With a rich background of 18 years at McKinsey & Company, where he co-created the lean service operations practice, Mohan has dedicated his expertise to improving healthcare delivery.

LeanTaaS stands out not just for its groundbreaking use of AI in optimizing healthcare operations but also for its commitment to delivering tangible results. The company's iQueue platform has been instrumental in unlocking capacity in critical healthcare assets, such as operating rooms and infusion chairs, across over 1,000 hospitals and centers in the U.S. 

This episode will delve into how LeanTaaS's unique approach to using sophisticated algorithms, much more advanced than traditional methods, is whispering actionable advice into the ears of healthcare providers, much like how Netflix suggests what to watch next.

Mohan will share his journey, from identifying the gap in the market to leveraging software for lean transformations in healthcare, highlighting the challenges and breakthroughs along the way. We'll explore the significant impact of LeanTaaS's solutions on healthcare operations, including substantial increases in surgical volume, market competitiveness, staffing optimization, and overall utilization of procedural areas.


Privacy and data security remain paramount, and Mohan will discuss how LeanTaaS ensures the utmost care in handling sensitive information, adhering to stringent healthcare compliance standards while encapsulating customer data.

As we look to the future, Mohan envisions a vast landscape of opportunities for AI to enhance healthcare efficiency, potentially unlocking billions in savings and significantly improving patient care. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of lean principles and AI in healthcare with Mohan Giridharadas. What are your thoughts on the potential of these technologies to change the healthcare landscape? 

Please share your views with us, and let's engage in a meaningful conversation about the future of healthcare innovation.
