How Anubha Gaur is Revolutionizing Healthcare with API Innovation

Most healthcare companies talk about digital transformation. But behind the buzzwords and technical jargon, real change only happens when technology actually helps patients get better care. At Quest Diagnostics, where millions of lab results move through their systems daily, this isn’t just a theory – it’s what keeps people healthy. While most executives tackle tech problems with more tech, Anubha Gaur takes a different approach. By rethinking how APIs work, she’s showing how the right technology strategy can make healthcare more accessible for everyone who needs it.

Turning APIs into Products

The first step might surprise traditional tech leaders. Anubha pushes back against old ways of thinking about APIs. “APIs are transforming businesses in ways that make a real impact and make healthcare truly accessible to our patients,” she explains, cutting through the usual tech talk.

Most companies treat APIs just like another piece of code. But Anubha sees something different. “Bringing in outside-in thinking and adopting an API-as-a-product mindset within the organization is important,” she points out. This shift in thinking isn’t just about technology – it’s about business value. When companies start treating APIs like products, they open new doors. “API products can drive revenue, and that’s why they should align with the business strategy,” Anubha notes.

Breaking Down the Tech Barrier

Ask any veteran engineer about APIs, and you might get stuck in a conversation about web services. Anubha’s seen this confusion play out countless of times. “When you talk to engineers, 20 or 30 years ago, they used to think, ‘Oh, it’s a service, it’s a web service,'” she says. But that old thinking gets in the way of real progress.

The difference matters more than most realize. APIs aren’t just about connecting systems anymore – they’re about creating experiences. “APIs are not just a one web service connecting two systems; they are a way to deliver experiences to our customers, and that is where the power lies,” Anubha explains. Getting this clarity helps teams move past old limitations and start building something better.

Redefining Customer Experiences

Technology might empower digital transformation, but people make it work. Anubha’s third point hits home for anyone who has tried to push change in a large organization. “People matter a lot,” she emphasizes. “Providing education, training, awareness, and upskilling teams on APIs is important.” Success starts with knowing where you stand. “Understand your organization’s baseline and then figure out how to upskill to the next level,” Anubha advises. It’s not about forcing change – it’s about bringing people along on the journey. Every team starts from a different place and recognizing that fact makes all the difference.

The quest to make healthcare more accessible requires technological innovation, and at Quest Diagnostics, Anubha plays a vital role in achieving this. She leads projects in API management, DevSecOps, and SRE, which demand a balance between solving technical puzzles and supporting people. She mentors staff through digital transformations with her guidance and expertise. Despite the complexities, her ultimate goal is to make healthcare more accessible through technology. The foundation of effective API initiatives, she believes, rests on product thinking, technical precision, and talent development. Anubha’s work at Quest Diagnostics proves that mastering these fundamental aspects can change how organizations provide value through technology. Consequently, it’s possible that a more accessible future of healthcare depends on such approaches.
