Dr. Aamir Rehman on Physician Leadership, AI in Healthcare, and Building Act Health and Vyzr Health

In this Underdog Physician podcast episode, Anish interviews physician executive Dr. Aamir Rehman, CEO of Act Health and Vyzr Health, about his career across consulting, health systems, employers, payers, and digital health. Dr. Rehman shares his origin story—born in Pakistan, trained in medicine, then recruited into consulting in the late 1990s—describing how physician problem-solving skills translate to business and why he took early career risks to influence healthcare decisions. He discusses when an MBA can help, emphasizing individualized goals and the value of formal training and networking. The conversation covers AI’s potential and current limitations (including hallucinations), lessons from telehealth adoption, payer incentives as costs shift, and skepticism about longevity medicine due to murky science. He describes early-stage startup life, managing mental bandwidth, and his legacy goal: reducing patient stress through better navigation and “connecting the dots” after diagnoses.
