Healthcare is past the point of being impressed by AI demos. The next phase is harder: proving value. In this episode of Boombostic Health , Bradley Bostic talks with Mike Hollis, co-founder of Optura AI , about what healthcare leaders need to do now: move beyond pilots, cut through AI noise, and focus on the use cases that can actually deliver measurable outcomes. Mike shares why so many organizations are stuck between excitement and execution, how leaders can evaluate AI maturity, and why the future of healthcare AI may be defined less by token usage - and more by trust, transparency, and accountability. This conversation gets into the real work behind AI adoption: aligning teams, measuring ROI, building confidence, and choosing where AI can create both business value and societal impact. Especially in areas like rare disease and underserved conditions, Mike makes the case that AI's biggest opportunity may not be where the hype is loudest. Watch this episode if you're asking: How do we know which AI initiatives are actually worth pursuing? Why are so many healthcare organizations stuck in pilot mode? What does ROI really look like in healthcare AI?
