Allegheny Health Network President Mark Sevco is helping shape one of the most important conversations in Western Pennsylvania: how health care evolves in a time of rapid technology change, financial pressure and growing community need.

In this episode of TechVibe Radio, Jonathan Kersting and Audrey Russo recap Sevco's recent Pittsburgh Technology Council Breakfast Briefing, where he shared his journey back to Pittsburgh, his vision for AHN and Highmark Health, and why technology will be a critical differentiator in the future of care.

Sevco discusses how AHN is embracing AI, ambient listening, Epic, chatbots and predictive analytics to improve the patient experience and create care pathways that are simpler, faster and more reliable. He also explores how AHN works with startups and Innovation Works' AlphaLab Health to test and scale new ideas that solve real-world problems for patients, clinicians and the health care system.

The conversation also dives into bigger pressures facing health care, including affordability, Medicaid changes, preventive care and how policy decisions can ripple through hospitals, employers and communities. Sevco points toward a future with more outpatient care, more home health, deeper AI investment, predictive analytics and precision medicine.
