AI in Healthcare: Why It Works When It Works | AI Stack, Shani Fargun

Healthcare AI is delivering real results right now, but not where most leaders are looking. In this episode, Michael Cupps sits down with Shani Fargun, VP of Healthcare at StackAI, to break down where agentic AI is producing ROI in health systems today and why the organizations seeing results started with the workflows nobody wanted to touch first. Shani brings a rare combination of clinical operations experience, a background at Anthem, medical device, and MIT's Sloan Fellows program, and hands-on deployment of AI agents inside real healthcare environments. This is a practical conversation about what works, what stalls, and how to think about AI investment before you sign anything. Key takeaways: Why the administrative layer, not clinical AI, is where healthcare ROI is happening now How agentic AI differs from chat interfaces and why that distinction matters at scale Why payers and providers adopt differently and where to expect the most traction What a three-month proof of value looks like before a full AI deployment How to protect patients and maintain human accountability while scaling AI workflows The Habit Architect is sponsored by Enterprise Diagnostics and Time Bandit Check out our Live Show Events here: The Habit Architect Live Show Subscribe to our Newsletter: The Habit Architect Newsletter
