Editorial Book Review:

By Nicolas Mercado

One in three American adults are already using AI for health information without their doctor's involvement. The machines, in other words, are not coming. They are already here. Anmol Madan has spent twenty years building the systems that made that possible, and The Machines Will See You Now is his most direct attempt to answer the question that statistic immediately raises: is this good news or bad news, and for whom?

His answer is neither the utopian certainty that tech evangelists tend to offer nor the dystopian alarm that critics reach for. It is something more useful and considerably more specific: a detailed, honest map of where AI in healthcare is actually working, where it has real limits, and why understanding the difference between those two categories is the most important thing anyone navigating this transformation can do right now.

The vision Madan calls autonomous health is not a world without doctors. It is a world where machines absorb the complexity of diagnostics, prediction, and prevention, freeing clinicians to focus on the irreplaceable human work of empathy, relationship, and judgment. That partnership model sits at the center of everything he builds in the book, and the MIT-trained computer scientist and founder of two major digital health companies brings the technical credibility to make it feel like a genuine possibility rather than aspirational marketing language.

What gives the book its particular authority is the arc of experience behind it. Madan founded Ginger, one of the first on-demand AI-enabled mental health platforms, before it was acquired by Headspace. He served as Chief Data Scientist during Livongo's historic growth and its landmark merger with Teladoc. He now leads RadiantGraph, which uses AI to help health plans deliver proactive care. He has been inside the machinery of this transformation at every stage, and he writes about it with the precision of someone who knows exactly where the gap between promise and delivery lives.

Alex Pentland of MIT called it a critical read from one of the industry's most successful entrepreneurs. For patients, providers, policymakers, and anyone whose life will be touched by the healthcare system this decade, which is to say everyone, this book is essential and unusually trustworthy guidance.

About the Author

Anmol Madan

Anmol Madan, PhD, is a healthcare entrepreneur, computer scientist, and Founder and CEO of RadiantGraph, a company using artificial intelligence to help health plans and healthcare organizations deliver proactive care and improve health outcomes. For more than twenty years, his work has focused on understanding human behavior through data and applying those insights to healthcare delivery, patient engagement, and population health.

Before launching RadiantGraph, Madan served as Chief Data Scientist at Livongo and later Teladoc Health, where he led data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, growth analytics, and consumer insights across a broad range of healthcare services. He played a key role during Livongo's historic growth and its merger with Teladoc, one of the largest transactions in digital health history. 

Earlier, Madan founded Ginger, an AI-enabled behavioral health company that emerged from his doctoral research at the MIT Media Lab. As CEO, he helped build one of the first on-demand mental health platforms designed around machine learning, digital coaching, therapy, and psychiatry. Ginger was later acquired by Headspace. 

Madan earned his PhD from the MIT Media Lab, where his research explored machine learning, social networks, and human behavior. He has authored numerous scientific publications, holds multiple patents related to AI and healthcare, and has received recognition from organizations including the World Economic Forum and Fast Company. He is the author of The Machines Will See You Now: A Human Roadmap to Autonomous Health Care (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2026).
