Questions remain around accuracy, empathy, and whether they truly add value or just more noise.The Human Side of InteroperabilityInspired by Amy Gleason's LA Times op-ed, we look at the personal impact of fragmented health systems. Her daughter's care journey shows how disconnected records hinder outcomes—and how AI uncovered a hidden opportunity. Should we lean into more personal stories to communicate to a wider audience?Meta & Who Owns Your Health Data?A San Francisco jury found Meta guilty of illegally harvesting data from millions of Flo app users—menstrual cycles, ovulation, even pregnancy intentions. The ruling highlights urgent questions: Who really owns health data, and what rights do patients have when tech giants treat it like ad fuel?Patient Consent in the Age of AIConsent forms are broken—static, outdated, and unfit for the AI era. We unpack Y. Tony Yang's American Journal of Bioethics piece arguing for “dynamic consent,” accountability frameworks, and real patient understanding. Without rethinking consent, healthcare risks losing trust as AI tools grow more influentialBlack Box for Aged CareWhat if aged care had a “black box,” like aviation? Sensors, AI, and monitoring systems could flag risks before crises hit. A Pulse+IT blog argues for shifting from reactive to proactive care, but business models and adoption lag behind.

Drawing parallels between HBO's Silicon Valley and the real digital health VC world, Wardell breaks down the psychology behind investor behavior, explains why playing "hard to get" with VCs can backfire, and reveals the red flags that signal toxic investor relationships.

In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Howard Rosen, co-Founder and CEO of Evident Vascular, a company developing an AI-powered intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) platform to improve vascular imaging and intervention. Before co-founding Evident, Howard held senior leadership roles at Intact Vascular and Vesper Medical, guiding both companies through successful acquisitions by Philips. He also served in executive roles at Haemonetics and BG Medicine, and spent over two decades at Boston Scientific, where he held a range of leadership positions across the peripheral and cardiovascular franchises.In this interview, Howard shares why launching right — not fast — is the key to success in medtech. He breaks down how Evident built early momentum by investing in deep market validation, engaging KOLs as true collaborators, and resisting scope creep at every turn. Howard also unpacks the company's deliberate regulatory strategy, using early FDA engagement as a tool to de-risk development.

One in four Americans is enrolled in Medicaid, yet the system designed to support them is constantly at risk—underfunded, politically vulnerable, and often overlooked.Dr. Alastair Bell, President and CEO of Boston Medical Center Health System, shares how his organization is reimagining what it means to care for underserved populations, while managing nearly 40% of Massachusetts' Medicaid enrollees. In this conversation, we explore the financial realities of running an “essential” hospital system, the opportunities and pitfalls of Medicaid ACOs, and why AI might deepen inequity if essential providers are left behind.We cover:

AI hearing technology is redefining what it means to stay connected, healthy, and high-performing in today's fast-moving world. Leading that transformation is Brandon Sawalich, President & CEO of Starkey—the only American-owned major hearing aid manufacturer and a global pioneer in intelligent hearing solutions. With over 30 years at Starkey, Sawalich has led the company from legacy roots to a billion-dollar enterprise operating in over 100 markets. His focus? Making hearing health a frontline conversation in wearable tech and wellness. “We wanted to go from incremental improvements to the moonshot,” Sawalich said. “How do we make hearing aids cool? How do we make them do more? That's where AI came in.” Under his leadership, Starkey became the first to integrate AI hearing technology and embedded sensors into hearing aids. These aren't traditional devices—they're multifunctional health tools that can track steps, detect falls, translate languages, and provide real-time environmental adjustments. The AI is always on, continuously learning and optimizing based on surroundings. “It's your personal assistant, it's Jarvis in your ear,” Sawalich added, referencing Iron Man's intuitive AI companion. He's also changing the cultural narrative around hearing loss. “You think of a hearing aid and you think you're old. That's not how I think. Hearing is your superpower.” Sawalich's approach to innovation isn't just about technology—it's grounded in people-first leadership. His belief in servant leadership shapes the culture at Starkey, a company with more than 5,000 employees worldwide. “I don't see myself at the top of the pyramid. I work for the people of Starkey,” he said. “It's my job to give them the resources and clear vision to be the best.” What sets Starkey apart in the crowded health tech space is its blend of purpose and agility. As a privately held company, Starkey doesn't answer to shareholders—it answers to patients and providers. That freedom has allowed the company to move quickly, take calculated risks, and focus on long-term impact over short-term gains. AI hearing technology is often overlooked compared to wearables like smartwatches or rings, but the ear is emerging as one of the most powerful access points for real-time health data. “The ear is the pathway to the brain,” Sawalich noted. “It's where meaningful insights can happen—if you know how to listen.” From shaping policy to expanding into new distribution channels, Starkey continues to lead with vision. But at its core, the mission remains deeply human: to connect people through better hearing and help them live fuller, healthier lives. As Sawalich puts it, “Whatever you do, be passionate about it—and help others succeed along the way.” Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Welcome to a new episode of the EUVC Podcast, where we bring you the people and perspectives shaping venture — this time with a lens on Southeast Asia and India.This week, David and Ambika from Circle Capital sit down with Tanuja Rajah, Partner at M Venture Partners (MVP) in Singapore — an early-stage fund backing founders from day zero across Southeast Asia and India.Tanuja's path is not your typical VC story: a PhD in immunology, a startup built on trial and error, and a mission now to fund the region's next generation of founders tackling healthcare, trust, access, and affordability — without the science risk.

David W. Johnson and Julie Murchinson outlined the best case and worst case scenarios for the Department of Health and Human Services' plans to build connected health IT architecture on, “Are We Ready for HHS's Version of a Health Tech Ecosystem?” the new episode of the 4sight Health Roundup podcast, moderated by David Burda.

In this episode of The Healthy Project Podcast, host Corey Dion Lewis talks with Pamela Oren-Artzi, COO and co-founder of GRIN, a digital oral health platform reimagining how care is delivered for underserved communities. Pam shares her journey from technology leader to health innovator, the challenges of addressing oral care deserts, and how GRIN's accessible, affordable tools are transforming the way providers reach patients—no broadband required.We explore why oral health must be recognized as a core social driver of health, the connection between oral disease and chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes, and the ripple effects that poor access to dental care can have on individuals, families, and the economy. Pam also offers valuable insights for health tech innovators on how to build equity into products from the ground up.

Healthcare is filled with breakthrough claims. But most of what gets funded doesn't make it anywhere near a hospital ward, a low-income patient, or a parent juggling three jobs. The gap between what's possible and what's actually useful is real, and these two investors are trying to close it.This week, we revisit two conversations with fund managers who are focused on problems that actually matter: the rising cost of care, the complexity of getting it, and the systems that still leave too many people behind. Their portfolios include diagnostics that reduce medical error, wearables that predict seizures, virtual platforms that help people manage chronic illness, and yes – even robotics that could expand access to fertility care.But this isn't just about cutting-edge tech. It's about a bigger question: What role do businesses – and the investors backing them – play in creating health? Because at the end of the day, a healthier population isn't just good policy. It's good business, too.Here are the featured guests:Dr. Tara Bishop, Founder and Managing Director of Black Opal VenturesTara Bishop is investing at the collision point – where healthcare and technology meet, and where legacy capital still struggles to keep up. At Black Opal Ventures, she's backing startups that don't just make care more digital – they make it more intelligent, more precise, and more accessible.Black Opal is one of the few female- and minority-led VC funds in the health-tech space. Tara and her partner Eileen Tanghal bring deep domain expertise – medicine on one side, deep tech on the other – and they're targeting high-impact companies that address the big four in healthcare: cost, quality, access, and security.Every investment is built around the same goal: getting the right care to the right patient at the right time – at a cost that works. And they're delivering Black Opal double-digit returns in the process.For Tara, impact means solving problems that have outlasted decades of reform – inside what she calls a “behemoth of an industry” that affects lives at scale and rarely rewards innovation that puts patients first.Full episodeKieron Boyle, Chair of the Impact Investing InstituteKieron Boyle has spent years making the economic case for better health. At Guy's and St. Thomas' Foundation, he helped turn an 800-year-old endowment into a £100 million impact portfolio – funding everything from healthier food startups to housing for women and children at risk. Not because it's charity. Because it's smart investing. Because a healthier society is more productive, more resilient, and more investable.His work started with a simple question: most of what drives health doesn't happen in hospitals – so why should health investing stop at hospital walls? The team backed medical technologies and life sciences, yes – but also addressed the wider commercial determinants of health: food, air, housing, debt. Then they went further, pioneering a dual mandate that put health and financial return on equal footing.Now, as Chair of the UK's Impact Investing Institute, Kieron is scaling that thinking. He's working with long-term investors (including pension funds and sovereign wealth) to align trillions in assets with the outcomes that actually shape wellbeing: healthier people, stronger communities, and more sustainable systems.Full episode—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK

In this Kim on a Whim segment, Kim and Marc break down a bold new Trump-backed health care initiative aiming to streamline patient medical records through a voluntary digital system involving tech giants like Apple, Google, Amazon, and CVS. The program promises less paperwork and more personalized care, with added AI tools from platforms like Noom—but critics worry about data security and privacy breaches. Kim plays devil's advocate, voicing public concerns about potential overreach and hacking risks. Marc pushes back, arguing the data's already in the system and the fear is overblown. They both agree: as long as it's opt-in and not government-controlled, the convenience could outweigh the risk—especially for those tired of filling out redundant health forms every visit. HIPAA laws still apply, and Trump insists it will save money, time, and lives. But the question remains: are Americans ready to trust Big Tech with their most sensitive health data?

Wearable Technology For Your Health:Scott Mulvaney welcomes todays guest co-host, Dr. Torkil Færø, a freelance doctor from Norway with 26 years of experience. They discuss the importance of health, lifestyle balance, and technology in disease prevention and management. Dr. Færø emphasizes the role of wearables in monitoring health metrics like heart rate, stress levels, and sleep patterns. He shares his personal journey of losing 40 pounds and improving his health after his father's death. They also touch on the limitations of traditional medical education and the potential of technology to empower individuals to take control of their health. Torkil's book, "The Pulse Cure," has been a success in Norway, focusing on heart rate variability and stress management. Scott and Dr. Færø discuss the benefits of heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring, particularly through wearable technology. Mulvaney shares his interest in using HRV to help his wife, a former on-call doctor, improve her sleep and circadian rhythm. Dr. Faarvaer highlights the application of HRV in veterinary medicine and with handicapped children. They emphasize the importance of personalized health management, noting that HRV data can reveal stress levels and improve self-awareness. Dr. Færø also mentions the feedback from thousands of users on Instagram, supporting the book's findings. They agree on the value of wearable technology in empowering individuals to take control of their health.Quote: “The doctor of the future will be oneself.” — Albert SchweitzerYour Co-Host Today: Dr Torkil Færø is a GP and emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author and photographer. Over a 26-year career as a freelance doctor, he has worked all over Norway, had hundred thousand consultations and thus gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He learned that the cause is most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies. When his father died at 73, he realized that he had to change his own lifestyle. Being 40 pounds overweight, under-trained, over-stressed, under-slept and drinking alcohol daily, he learned that this lifestyle could deprive him of decades. Using wearables he found a way to track and regulate his nervous system and physiology. Today's Top 3 Takeaways:Heart rate tracking, stress, and wearable technologies. Individualized health in regards to personal accountability. The role of HRV tracking and the future of health and technology integrations.
