This week, I sat down with Holly Taylor, General Manager of Strategic Partnerships at Lucem Health, to talk about her career journey, patient advocacy, and how AI is reshaping early detection of type 1 diabetes.
What you’ll learn in this conversation:
- How machine learning models flag at-risk patients who might otherwise go undetected, supporting smarter, earlier interventions.
- Why early diagnosis is a population health imperative - reducing diabetic ketoacidosis risk from 40–60% to less than 5%, while saving families and health systems costs.
- How Lucem Health is working with providers through a “crawl, walk, run” approach to build trust and integrate AI into workflows without adding burden.
- Holly’s personal take on resilience: daily reading, healthy routines, and encouraging us to have the courage to take leaps sooner.
Holly also shared her tea mug story and what drives her to make a difference in healthcare. You won’t want to miss this one!
