Where Healthcare Vision Meets Systematic Practice
Elevate Health was founded on a simple belief: the future of healthcare requires both ambitious vision and rigorous execution methodology.
Our Story
We’re not just consultants who happen to think about innovation. We’re not just futurists disconnected from operational reality. We’re a unique combination—applying proven research methodologies to solve today’s healthcare challenges while actively exploring what healthcare can become by 2050.
Founder Profile: Vic Gatto
Bridging Vision and Practice
Background:
Vic Gatto brings a rare combination of venture capital investing, operational consulting, and thought leadership to healthcare transformation.
Professional Experience:
- Partner, Jumpstart Health Investors: Early-stage healthcare venture capital, investing in transformative healthcare startups
- Healthcare Operations Consultant: Helping physician groups identify and solve operational bottlenecks using ethnographic research methodology
- Author: “Elevate Health 2050” – exploring the convergence of AI, Web3, and Biotech in healthcare
Why This Matters:
Most healthcare consultants have never invested in innovation. Most healthcare investors have never done operational consulting. Vic’s unique background enables Elevate Health to bridge the gap between what’s possible and how to implement it.
From Investing to Implementation
The Genesis
After years of investing in healthcare startups and watching emerging technologies transform specific use cases, Vic recognized a critical gap: most healthcare organizations couldn’t implement even basic operational improvements, let alone prepare for AI-driven transformation.
The Insight
Traditional consulting approaches were failing because they:
- Relied on surveys and interviews (people can’t always articulate what they need)
- Used role-based segmentation (ignoring how individuals actually relate to technology)
- Created ongoing dependency (success meant keeping clients, not building their capability)
- Led with technology (AI solutions that didn’t fit actual workflows)
The Solution
Elevate Health developed the first healthcare consulting framework explicitly based on ethnographic research methodology—the same approach Intel, IBM, and Microsoft use to understand complex user behavior. We observe workflows in context, segment by technology orientation rather than role, and structure engagements to build client independence.
Our Dual Mission
Vision 2050: Our Long-Term North Star
We’re building a community dedicated to exploring how AI, Web3, and Biotech will converge by 2050 to democratize healthcare intelligence. We envision a future where:
- Health is recognized as a fundamental human right
- Intelligence tools empower individuals and small teams
- Healthcare systems adapt to the shift from Information Age to Intelligence Age
- 10 billion people benefit from $10 trillion in transformed healthcare spending
Consulting Practice: Our Implementation Framework
We help physician groups and healthcare providers solve operational challenges today using:
- Ethnographic research to identify hidden bottlenecks
- Behavioral segmentation to predict technology adoption
- AI-human workflow integration (not AI-first approaches)
- Three-phase engagement model building client independence
Our Values
Research-Backed Methodology
Every recommendation grounded in proven ethnographic research validated by Intel, IBM, Microsoft, and academic literature (Harvard Business Review, EPIC).
Client Independence
Our three-phase engagement model explicitly builds your internal capability to continue optimizing without us. Success means you don’t need us long-term.
Transparency
We show you exactly how we reach conclusions. Our methodology isn’t proprietary magic—it’s replicable science you can verify.
Long-Term Vision
Today’s operational improvements must align with 2050’s transformational possibilities. We help you build capability that scales with technological change.
