From GP to Global Digital Health – Shubs Upadhyay #26
From rural medicine to global digital health: Dr. Shubs Upadhyay on Ada Health, remote care in Australia, and the future of healthcare innovation.
Dr. Shubs Upadhyay is a GP, digital health expert, and host of the GPODH – Global Point of Digital Health podcast. His journey has taken him from clinical practice in Australia – including working with the Flying Doctors – to global health, consulting, and leading roles at Ada Health, where he served as Director of Medical Quality and later as Medical Director, shaping the impact of digital symptom assessment on a global scale.
In this episode, we dive into Shubs’ career path and what drives him to think beyond the traditional doctor–patient relationship. We explore the potential and limitations of digital health, how to bridge the gap between software and frontline care, and why podcasting has become a powerful tool for connecting voices and sharing ideas worldwide.
Topics we cover: – Lessons from remote medicine & the Flying Doctors – Making the leap from patient care to digital health – Behind the scenes at Ada Health – Podcasting & storytelling as drivers of change – Advice for young doctors seeking impact
