Voice tech is changing how we work. Tandem Health’s Oliver Åstrand joins us to explore what happens when we stop typing—and start talking to our tools.

We’re entering a new phase of human–machine interaction. Not with clicks. Not with swipes. But with our voices.

In this episode, we talk to Oliver Åstrand, co-founder and CTO of Tandem Health—a fast-growing health tech company using voice technology to radically reduce admin in healthcare and give clinicians back their time.

From the evolution of speech recognition to the role of large language models, we explore how voice is reshaping real work—starting in the treatment room. We also unpack the challenges of privacy, personalization, trust, and tone—and what it means when machines don’t just listen… but respond.

Key Topics

• Why Tandem Health built a voice-first product—and what it’s changing
