Allon Bloch appeared on Digital Health Inside Out as an unpaid guest. K Health did not pay for, review, or approve this article. Quotes come from the recording of the October 1, 2026 interview, lightly cleaned up for readability. Facts come from the sources hyperlinked at the point of reference.

On October 1, 2026, Alex Koshykov and I interviewed Allon Bloch, CEO and co-founder of K Health, on Digital Health Inside Out. Allon knew the questions would be hard. He came anyway and was a good sport for all 70 minutes. He never answered my 2 biggest questions. He did answer plenty of others, and some of those answers were better than I expected. Watch this rather spicy episode here.
Here is what’s inside:
1. How a “WTF” Tweet Turned Into an Interview
2. The Symptom Checker That Ranked 40 Out of 40
3. Where Allon and I Agree: Bayesian Trees, Medical Records and GLP-1s
4. What Runs PatientGPT? Nobody Knows
5. What PatientGPT Actually Does Well
6. Credit Where Credit Is Due
