E55: Let's address the elephant in the room...YOU. Time to face facts like adults and concede that the healthy 30% cannot and SHOULD NOT continue subsidizing healthcare for the unhealthy 70%. By 2030 your health insurance will work like your credit score. PROVE your health score with biometric data and pay accordingly. Choose not to, and pay about triple what you pay today for insurance. This week Celina Burns does a MUCH better job of explaining why and drilling down into the data that will create this change. The statistics are an undeniable compass.

E54: This week David Law talks RCM and the commitment to technology that differentiates Zotec Partners from competitors. "Trust, Excellence & Care" is their mantra because it's the foundation to a lasting relationship, but it's not just lip service. The whole team proved to me that they walk the walk and it's not just a fancy acronym tag on their logo - Zo T-E-C.

E53: This week Krishna Kumar from Akumin® explains 'Access to Care' and how their mobility of services and commitment to technology are transforming capabilities for clients, as well as experiences for patients. I predict more sectors of healthcare embracing their 'mobile command center' strategy in the coming years, rather than building more Billion dollar marble palaces. Make those trailers self driving and they can automatically service a regular route, changing locations overnight with no drivers.

E52: This week the trend continues as vendors can no longer toss out the magical "AI" term and BS potential customers. Pär Kragsterman does a great job explaining how Collective Minds has built a global, GDPR-compliant, collaborative platform that drives faster diagnostics and outcomes for patients, clinical research and education. 

E51: Viz.ai recently won the Galien Award which is like the Nobel Prize for HealthTech. THAT'S validation! Justin Ryea articulates their technology so clearly that even the most skeptical radiologist should have no fears or excuses about testing it.

E50: Tennr is automating the front office! "10 becomes 2" is the new mantra for healthcare staffing and decades overdue. Ray Mathew explains the value solution with a big wall behind him that says "If we say AI, you get $10". Exactly! The only vendor at that show bucking the trend. Those pitching AI are too often selling BS. Those DOING AI have it hidden behind the scenes and don't have to throw out magical terms to impress you. Good software just works - automagically.

E49: If it smells like BS and looks like BS, it may be POSING as AI. Every provider, clinician and executive in healthcare should watch and share this week as Joshua Miller tells you what to ask vendors selling "Fake AI Software", how to validate "Real AI Tools" and when to call BS and walk away from that persuasive sales rep. Comment below to fuel this discussion so others don't get duped. Meet Gradient Health

E48: Money talks and BS AI walks. Pay attention founders because this week Abinav Sankar from Sopris Capital gives us a rare glimpse into what flies and what dies with investors. A pretty pitch deck and fast talk are NOT gonna cut it so sit up and take notes founders!

E47: 3000+ startups applied. 11 were selected to participate. This week, meet my Top 4 graduate picks from the Dec 2024 Techstars Physical Health Fort Worth Accelerator: Nikhil Madan - FluteSpace, Tom Griffiths - Gale HSA Pay (Techstars 24), Luis Pierpauli - Gisens Biotech, and Daniel Yeboah - Revella Health. If you seed early stage startups, don't wait to book 30 minutes with each and hear a pitch.- Merry Christmas

E46: This week meet SHAI RCM: "Smart Humans, Artificial Intelligence" is their tag line and Bruce Schwack is ready to give you a POC and prove about 50% average labor savings, plus 15% improved revenue capture. I love vendors who can produce statistics and evidence, then back it up!
