Hunter Ambrose Podcast | A Conversation with Stephen Roose, Co-Founder of Savva.ai

In this episode, I sit down with Stephen Roose, Co-Founder of Savva.ai, to talk about a new chapter in how we understand our health.

Savva takes the fragmented pieces of your medical life—records, labs, medications, specialist notes, wearables, fitness data—and brings them together in one place. Then, instead of relying on a single model, Savva uses multiple leading AI systems to give you clearer, more comprehensive insights.

This conversation explores:
• How your entire health story becomes visible when everything is connected
• Why comparing perspectives across multiple AI models matters
• The gap between what patients are given today vs. what they actually need
• How AI can support better decisions, better care, and better long-term outcomes
• What’s coming next as Savva opens its beta to early adopters

If your goal is to take control of your health with clarity and confidence, this episode gives you the roadmap.
