Dr. Gitanjali Srivastava's Innovative Approach to Obesity Medicine and AI

What happens when a physician thinks like an engineer, a scientist, and a founder all at once?

Gitanjali Srivastava, MD, MEng is redefining what obesity medicine, AI-driven healthcare, and systems innovation can look like at scale.
From witnessing the loss of her very first patient to building one of the most ambitious obesity medicine programs in healthcare, her journey is rooted in one relentless question:

“Why were we not treating it?”

As the Medical Director and Founding Director at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Dr. Srivastava is not simply improving healthcare systems — she is re-engineering them through the intersection of medicine, AI, machine learning, and human-centered innovation.

Her 4P framework — Purpose, Permission, Proof, and Power — offers a powerful blueprint for how meaningful healthcare transformation actually happens.

This is more than a story about leadership.
It is a story about discipline, courage, systems thinking, and the willingness to walk away from limitations to build what comes next.

An insightful feature on a leader moving the center of gravity in modern healthcare.
