Last year, the National Institutes of Health drastically cut funding for medical research. This disrupted the work of academics and researchers across the country. Clinical trials and scientific projects were cancelled, and funding for ongoing research was revoked. This meant big cuts in funding to research institutions here in Connecticut. UConn lost $41 million from research grant terminations and unexpected non-renewals. Today, we hear how these cuts are impacting research institutions in our state and the future of science.

When the disruptive power of Artificial Intelligence is discussed, the fate of the radiologist is often the cautionary tale: a specialist whose job is supposedly obsolete. In fact, the opposite is true. We face a severe global shortage of medical imaging specialists, worsened by a 10% annual increase in studies. Not to mention burnout, as specialists have to interpret more than one image per second just to keep up. AI is emerging not as a threat, but as a critical complement. AI is poised to offer opportunities beyond better diagnosis and access to care.  Join us as we explore the future of diagnostic imaging  with our guest, Dr. Akshay Chaudhari, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Biomedical Data Science at Stanford, and the co-founder of Cognita Imaging, a pioneering clinical AI company.

Shahryar Qadri, CTO of OneImaging, joins me to unpack a hard truth about healthcare tech: the goal is not to remove humans, it is to give them more room to be human.We talk about where cost “optimization” actually helps patients, why radiology is a perfect fit for AI but still held back by data access, and how better workflows can improve trust, speed, and outcomes without losing the human touch.OneImaging sits in the radiology benefits space, helping members book imaging in a national network with more transparency and a high touch booking experience, while helping employers cut imaging costs significantly.Key takeaways• The “human touch” in healthcare is not going away, the better play is using tech to increase capacity so caregivers can spend more time being caregivers• Cost optimization is not always about paying less for expertise, it is often about wasting less human time, improving trust, and removing friction around services• Healthcare still runs on outdated plumbing in places you would not expect, including fax based workflows that slow everything down• Radiology is one of the best real world use cases for AI, but the bigger blocker is getting access to imaging data in usable form, not model capability• Your health data is already “there”, but it is not working for you yet. The next wave is tools that scan your longitudinal record and surface what to ask your doctor about, so you can be a stronger advocate for your own careTimestamped highlights• 00:36 What OneImaging actually does, and why “transparent imaging” is more than a pricing story• 02:00 Why healthcare stays personal, and how tech should increase capacity instead of replacing care• 03:36 The real definition of cost optimization, commodity versus service, and where trust matters• 07:01 The surprising reality of imaging ops, why it still feels like 1998, and what gets digitized next• 17:19 AI in radiology is real, but the data access and interoperability gap is the bottleneck• 24:21 Your CDs are full of value, the problem is we do almost nothing with that data todayA line worth replaying“These LLM models are the worst that they'll ever be today. They're only going to get better and better and better.”Call to actionIf this episode sparked a new way of thinking about healthcare tech, follow The Tech Trek on your podcast app, share it with a friend in product or engineering, and connect with me on LinkedIn for more conversations like this.

Low resource settings require much innovation and streamlining resources to meet set goals. With healthcare becoming more commercial and profit driven, missional healthcare in low resource settings faces many challenges. Sustainability is a big question with people finance , and equipment scarce and hard to come by. Missional models of healthcare often run into hurdles of sustainability, longevity and relevance even as healthcare slowly turns into business. In this setting of multifactorial challenges and increasing compliances how can missional healthcare be relevant and sustainable? Many saints of God have committed their lives to fulfil this great commission in some of the most underserved and unreached areas of the world. With the birth of Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA) a different model of missional healthcare emerged in India. Over the last 55 years of its existence, EHA has shown that through all the challenges, this may be one of the ways to sustain missional healthcare in areas of need. With increasing divide between the rich and poor, overwhelmed government systems, a ruthless insurance system, and high end corporate healthcare, it is still possible for missional healthcare to provide low cost, high quality, technologically advanced care to people in need while remaining sustainable. We bring lessons from India and our experience with Emmanuel Hospital Association over the last 3 decades.

We scrutinise one of the most practical yet under‑examined advances in veterinary practice: AI‑based radiology interpretation tools. I sit down with veterinary radiologist and Vedi entrepreneur Dr  Steve Joslyn to unpack the rise of AI-powered radiology tools in general practice. But this isn't just opinion: Steve reveals the findings from his team's recent study that put 6 commercially available AI radiology softwares in the spotlight - or up on the light box - to assess whether they deliver on what they promise. From how these systems are trained, to where they shine (and where they fail), this conversation gives a no-nonsense look at what AI can actually do for your diagnostic imaging workflow. What You'll Learn:How these tools are built: Neural networks, down-sampling, and the truth behind “ground truth”.The data dilemma: Why most AI tools perform best in theory, not in general practice.Where they fall short: From image quality issues to breed bias and external validation gaps.New accuracy data: Insights from Dr Joslyn's pilot study comparing six commercial AI tools.A decision-making playbook: When to trust AI, when to double-check, and when to avoid it entirely.Ethics and workflow impact: Who's responsible? What do you tell clients? Can AI triage be trusted?How to stay future-ready: What's coming next – and how to adapt without compromising care.

Redneck Resilience: A Country Boy's Journey To Prosperity by James Harold Webb Jamesharoldwebb.com https://www.amazon.com/Redneck-Resilience-Country-Journey-Prosperity/dp/1642252395 RESILIENCE FINDS A WAY James Webb's life is the American dream in a nutshell. Born to teenage parents in Laurel, Mississippi, and faced with a future working in the town's only two factories, James chose to change his fate and forge his own path―to become a titan of business, a mentor, and a philanthropist. In Redneck Resilience, James shares stories of amazing wins and devastating losses, of sin and redemption, of recovery and forward momentum. Most importantly, he discusses the benefits and advantages of resilience. James uses his own life to illustrate truths about success in life and in business, including: Failures happen, and resilience vanquishes failure. No lesson or experience is ever wasted. When opportunity presents itself, take the risk. A true entrepreneur works for no one. You cannot succeed on your own. And much more. Resilient people never take their eye off where they're going, even when they get knocked down. They refocus. Resilience isn't worried about the odds. Resilience finds a way.About the author Born to two 17-year-old parents and living an economically disadvantage childhood, James Harold Webb has had amazing wins and devastating losses throughout his life. He attributes a majority of his success to resilience and to relationships, both personally and professionally. James' storied career started as a radiologic technologist in his home state of Mississippi. After moving to Dallas in 1983, he began working as the Director of Radiology at a local hospital and, for the next 13 years, worked on the executive team for various medical imaging companies. In 1996, Webb started his first of many companies and became a key leader in the industry. After more than 40 years in the medical field, and selling his three largest companies, James turned his focus to the fitness sector, becoming one of the largest Orangetheory Fitness franchisees in the country owning, overseeing, and ultimately selling 33 Orangetheory Fitness gyms located throughout North Texas. Not one to slow down, his most recent endeavors include an agreement to develop, and open BeBalanced Centers (health, wellness and weight loss) throughout Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth and the recent purchase of 10 Scenthound franchise locations (dog health and grooming) for the Dallas, TX market.
