In this episode, we sit down with Anna Li, founder of Korion Health, who (while still a student) launched the Korion part-time and eventually recieved the $1 million Hult Prize to fund her research. Today, Korion Health is pioneering AI-powered at-home stethoscopes to transform preventive healthcare access.
Anna shares the challenges patients face when critical health issues go undetected due to lack of access to basic tools. She explains how Korion Health bridges this gap with affordable, user-friendly technology that empowers people to monitor their own health at home. We explore how the platform combines advanced diagnostics with personalized insights to drive early detection and actionable care. Anna also highlights how Korion strengthens the connection between patients and providers by integrating at-home data into clinical decision-making. Her vision is clear: a future where preventive healthcare is not a privilege, but the standard.
