Investing in Health Tech: Sanjana Vig on AI, FemTech, and the Future of Care

In this episode of The Innovation Series, host Mike Kelly sits down with Dr. Sanjana Vig, anesthesiologist, co-founder, and Chief Marketing Officer of Langar Holdings, to explore the cutting edge of health tech investing. From AI-powered radiology to robotic surgery and digital scribes, Sanjana shares how emerging technologies are reshaping the patient and physician experience.
 
She explains the philosophy behind Langar’s ETF, which focuses on companies addressing real pain points in healthcare—inefficiencies, costly processes, and gaps that impact everyone from patients to clinicians to insurers. Sanjana also offers a candid look at how her clinical expertise feeds into investment decisions, helping to separate hype from true innovation.
 
The conversation ranges from the practical use of AI in anesthesia and hospital triage to the promise of femtech in fertility and menopause care. Sanjana and Mike also tackle the thorny role of AI in billing and insurance, raising questions about whether algorithms will streamline care—or simply argue with each other.
 
If you’re curious about how AI, femtech, and innovation at the investment level are changing the future of healthcare, you won’t want to miss this insightful conversation.
