He'll walk through a realistic healthtech scenario involving a complex sale to a hospital system to show you how orchestration works in the real world. He'll discuss how AI helps you prioritize accounts based on patterns rather than intuition, routes leads with actual conditional logic, and designs responses that coordinate multiple personas without creating chaos.

S1E10: Disaster Recovery Is Dead. Long Live Technology Resilience! On this episode, host Steven Hajny is joined by Heather Costa, Director of Technology Resilience at Mayo Clinic, to unpack what “resilience” really means in modern healthcare IT, especially when cyber disruption is the clear and present danger. Heather champions for moving beyond traditional “disaster recovery” thinking and instead prioritizing business workflows (the minimum viable hospital) over recovering hundreds of Tier 1 apps. Together they explore why recovery timelines always “depend,” why honest planning beats rosy assumptions, and how Zero Trust-era identity systems have become ground zero when everything goes sideways.

From Music to Medicine: Rethinking Clinical Trials, AI, and Real-World Evidence On this episode Gil and Gregg welcome Amir Lahav, MD, ScD, founder and CEO of SkyMedAI and curator of the Digital Health AI Innovation Summit in Boston. Dr. Lahav traces his unlikely path from working musician to Harvard Medical School faculty, Pfizer rare-disease innovator, and now advisor to digital health and life sciences companies.

Part I: How Telehealth is Redefining Clinical Practice and Patient Access Join us for part I of a two-part interview with Dr. Brandon Welch, founder and CEO of doxy.me; a platform that has facilitated over 8 billion minutes of care across 1 million providers in 176 countries.

On this special “Making America Healthy Again” edition of PopHealth Week, Fred and Gregg take on a volatile question: what happens when a legitimate prevention agenda collides with abrupt, top-down decisions across the public health infrastructure? Anchored in recent federal changes to childhood vaccine recommendations and upheaval in advisory processes, the conversation traces how trust is built - or broken - through transparency, data visibility, and scientific governance. They explore the implications of reduced routine vaccine guidance, the removal and replacement of expert advisory committee members, and the risks of “flying blind” when surveillance systems pause or disappear. With measles resurgence as a real-time stress test, Gregg and Fred challenge the false binary of “medical freedom vs. public health,” and close with practical guidance: partner with trusted clinicians and evidence-based medical society recommendations while the policy environment remains unsettled.

January News You Can Use The AI Will See You Now (Please Double-Check Its Work) AI medical tools like Open Evidence are valuable but must be used critically; Trust nothing and verify all outputs, as they require expert supervision. New AI healthcare entrants, such as those from Amazon and OpenAI, bring potential but also risks of outdated or inaccurate guidance; Wearable health devices (e.g., Apple Watch) risk overwhelming clinics with false positives, especially among the "worried well." Health risk calculators and AI should supplement, not replace, individualized care guided by a physician's expertise. The healthcare system faces deep issues, from EMR/data abuse lawsuits to unsustainable insurance that offers poor coverage and strains emergency care.
