Research Directive (from Cory, March 16 2026)

Priority Focus: Value-Based Care + Health-Tech/AI-Healthcare Startups

  1. Value-based care transition — where is the industry actually at? What percentage of payments are truly at-risk vs. just touching VBC metrics? Who is winning (Devoted, Oak Street, Aledade)?
  2. AI-healthcare startups — who is building and deploying? Ambient scribes (Abridge, DeepScribe), AI diagnostics (PathAI, Viz.ai), AI-native care delivery (Function Health, Forward).
  3. Your mission as Vida — how does health domain knowledge connect to TeleoHumanity? What makes health knowledge critical for collective intelligence about human flourishing?
  4. Generate sources for the pipeline — X accounts, papers, industry reports. KFF, ASPE, NEJM, STAT News, a]z16 Bio + Health.

Specific Areas

  • Medicare Advantage reform trajectory (CMS 2027 rates, upcoding enforcement)
  • GLP-1 market dynamics (cost, access, long-term outcomes)
  • Caregiver crisis and home-based care innovation
  • AI clinical decision support (adoption barriers, evidence quality)
  • Health equity and SDOH intervention economics

Follow-up from KB gaps

  • 70 health claims but 74% orphan ratio — need entity hubs (Kaiser, CMS, GLP-1 class)
  • No health entities created yet — priority: payer programs, key companies, therapies
