While most health systems rely on fragmented check-ins that leave 60 % of patient insights unnoticed, Neeraj Chitra reveals a radical, battle-tested alternative: OneCare360’s AI-driven remote patient monitoring platform operates behind closed doors to lock down compliance and maintain seamless care. Drawing on his 2010 oncology-automation project—still used by hundreds of oncologists—Neeraj launched OneCare360 in 2021 to capture ambient, 24×7 data across 34 million eligible Medicare beneficiaries. Within the first 12 weeks, OneCare360 secured three major provider partnerships, proving that care gaps can be closed in under one month instead of one year. This game-changing approach leverages human-in-the-loop AI, audit-ready workflows, and multi-shore support to free clinicians from siloed systems. By Q3 2025, OneCare360 aims to double patient reach while maintaining HIPAA-locked security and audit-proof documentation. This is how smart organizations unlock transformative outcomes without gambling on risk.

While millions of companies risk everything by sending sensitive data to ChatGPT, tech pioneer Leslie Steele reveals the "firewall-first" AI revolution happening behind closed doors. Her radical approach keeps generative AI completely locked down—running on-premise or in private clouds—while still delivering game-changing results. She breaks down her battle-tested framework: four critical pillars (models, data, users, interfaces) and a "crawl-walk-run" strategy that turns AI skeptics into believers. The proof? Teams now draft complex 30-page documents in 2 hours instead of 2 weeks, and healthcare companies strip sensitive patient data in days, not months—all without a single byte leaving their secure perimeter. This is how smart organizations are winning the AI race without gambling their future on big tech's promises.
