On this episode hosts Fred and Gregg welcome David Nash MD, Dean Emeritus, Jefferson College of Population Health, and Doug Romer, MD, Chief Medical Officer, MedsEngine. The wide ranging conversation spotlights high blood pressure as the world's number one killer, and in the United States, fewer than one in four people with hypertension have it under control. They examine why decades of guidelines, public health campaigns, and payment reforms have failed to move the needle, and what a quietly revolutionary clinical decision support platform is doing about it. From the structural limits of a market-based healthcare system to the underappreciated science of hemodynamic phenotyping, Nash and Romer offer a frank, evidence-grounded diagnosis of the chronic disease management crisis and a compelling look at what nation-leading blood pressure control rates, ie, 92% sustained over ten consecutive years, actually required to achieve.

On this special LIVE from HIMSS 2026 Gil is joined on the conference floor for a conversation that cuts against the conference's AI hype cycle. His guests Cheryl Pammer, Head of Insights, and Mikhail Golovnya, Senior Advisory Data Scientist, both of Minitab, bring something rare to a floor dominated by new entrants: fifty years of institutional memory in applied analytics. From their origins powering the Six Sigma quality revolution at GE and Motorola, to their 2017 acquisition of Salford Systems and its machine learning expertise, Minitab has been doing what the industry just started calling AI long before the term took hold. The conversation covers how the same disciplined, data-first thinking that optimized turbines and financial services workflows is now being applied to hospital operations, predicting patient falls, ranking post-surgical care providers, modeling ER throughput, and reducing readmissions. The throughline is a warning as much as a promise: the tools are mature, the opportunity is enormous, and the single biggest obstacle remains what it has always been, organizations that collect the wrong data, for the wrong reasons, before they have ever defined the problem they are trying to solve.

How To Revitalize Your Brand Brand is one of those words that can clear a room in a B2B company faster than almost anything else. The moment you say it, someone in the C-suite starts thinking about pipeline, not long-term equity. I know that instinct well.

It is what makes everything else in your marketing work harder, and how to make your brand an even stronger asset. He is joined by Arushi Awasthi, Director of Brand and Communications at Innovaccer, who lays the foundation for why B2B healthtech companies cannot afford to treat it as an afterthought.

On this special LIVE from HIMSS 2026 Gil is joined on the conference floor by Ritesh Patel, Chief Growth Officer at Doceree, and one of health technology's most respected global advisors. Recording amid the buzz of 30,000 attendees in Las Vegas, the two explore the forces reshaping healthcare: AI's rapid shift from clinical promise to operational reality, the collapse of traditional medical publishing, pharma's untapped content assets, and why the world's most important digital health laboratories may be in India, Rwanda, and Ghana rather than San Francisco or Boston.
