Why Healthcare Breaks at the Handoffs

Vida Health - Joe Murad

Today’s guest is the CEO of Vida Health, Joe Murad. who’s raised over $200 million to build an integrated model for chronic care. A serial healthcare entrepreneur, he’s served as CEO of PokitDok and WithMe Health, giving him a rare systems-level view of how healthcare actually works.

In this episode, we unpack why healthcare doesn’t simply suffer from a lack of technology, but from fragmented incentives and broken accountability. Joe explains how most innovation today stacks point solutions rather than fixing the underlying structure of care. We discuss why no one truly owns the full patient journey — and why that failure is especially costly in chronic disease and mental health. Finally, we explore how integrated, value-based models may offer a path toward real longitudinal accountability and better outcomes.
