“Our systems are overloaded,” Lalaji says. “We have smart people doing hard work, but we’re still relying on tools that were designed for a different era.”
In the exclusive conversation, Lalaji opens up about his journey from Hell’s Kitchen, New York, to building a tech-enabled radiology platform in Atlanta. But the focus isn’t on accolades–it’s on action. At the centre of his message is a clear call: the healthcare industry must evolve without losing sight of the people it serves.
“Every scan is a person. Every chart is a story. Never forget that,” Lalaji says.
Healthcare burnout is at an all-time high. A recent study found that nearly 60% of physicians report symptoms of burnout. In radiology, the rapid pace, growing workloads, and demand for faster results are only increasing pressure. Lalaji believes artificial intelligence can be part of the solution–but only if it’s used wisely.
“AI can reduce errors, prioritise urgent cases, and improve turnaround time,” he explains. “But it shouldn’t replace the radiologist. It should support them.”
He founded The Radiology Group to do just that–build systems that respect clinical judgment while enhancing performance. Still, the biggest challenge wasn’t the tech–it was trust.
“There’s always skepticism when you try something new in healthcare. That’s fair. Lives are at stake,” Lalaji says. “We had to build a foundation first–then earn our way forward.”
Beyond the clinic, Lalaji’s impact continues through philanthropy. His foundation supports causes ranging from women’s leadership in sport to research on ALS, pancreatic cancer, and mental health.
“These causes are personal,” he says. “Philanthropy isn’t just about money. It’s about time, attention, and using your voice to move things forward.”
As more health systems explore AI, automation, and data-driven decisions, Lalaji stresses the importance of keeping people–not processes–at the centre.
“Technology will keep evolving. But it’s how we use it–and who we use it for–that really matters,” he says.
Call to Action
As healthcare continues to evolve, Anand Lalaji’s story reminds us of the power of purpose-driven innovation. Readers are encouraged to think critically about the systems around them–whether in medicine, education, or leadership. Ask better questions. Demand better tools. Support causes that build both efficiency and empathy. And above all, remember that progress starts with people.
