About this episode

Daniel Robbins interviews Harry DiFrancesco about the challenges and innovations in the U.S. healthcare system, focusing on prevention and recovery.

Daniel Robbins sits down with Harry DiFrancesco, founder and CEO of Carda Health, to unpack why U.S. healthcare rewards sick care instead of prevention and how Carda is rebuilding recovery at home. Harry shares his personal mission shaped by his father’s heart disease, the shocking stat that 90% of heart patients never access rehab, and how Carda uses AI as an “invisible engine” to unburden clinicians while improving outcomes. They also debate GLP-1s, behavior change, and why building a resilient company feels a lot like running 100 miles.
