The Social Determinants Of Health (with Justen Nestico)

Self-Funded With Spencer

"I think, not just in terms of the type of AI Verikai does, but AI in healthcare in general, I'm so optimistic about it, just because we are in such early stages of this." - Justen Nestico

Did you know that what type of car you drive determines how healthy you're likely to be?

Justen Nestico, Director of Actuarial Solutions at Verikai, joined me this week to discuss a really important thing when it comes to risk assessment: data.

We talked about how Verikai integrating AI in interpreting, organizing, and learning from data, as well as what that data says about a populace and how to insure them. Justen and I also covered GLP-1s, like Ozempic, and what they potentially mean for reducing health risks related to obesity.

Justen shared with me the five social determinants of health he sees most often, and some of them were pretty surprising, like what type of car you drive.

Join us this week to learn all about AI, risk, and what determines health!
