In this episode with KJ Dhaliwal of Lotus AI, you'll hear how translating his immigrant parents' doctor visits as a child and years spent bouncing through fragmented specialty care as a teenager after a disc herniation shaped his mission to give 100 million Americans free, world-class primary care using AI. KJ breaks down how Lotus AI pulls your entire medical history from every clinic and hospital you've ever visited in minutes, unifies it with your wearables and genetic data, and makes it available to both a conversational AI and a network of real licensed physicians who can diagnose you, prescribe treatment, and refer you to a specialist in under two minutes at any hour of the day. We also touch on why hospitals are quietly selling your health data to pharma, how the business model works when the product is free, and why KJ believes the AI-powered general doctor is not just possible but already happening.
KJ Dhaliwal is the founder and CEO of Lotus AI. Before Lotus, he co-founded the largest South Asian dating app, which he grew and sold. At Lotus AI, his mission is to collapse the cost of healthcare delivery while making world-class primary care free and permanently accessible to every American.
