What does true innovation in healthcare look like beyond the buzzwords? In this episode, we sit down with Richard “RJ” Kedziora, Co-Founder of Estenda Solutions, to talk about the real state of digital health today—from AI-driven ambient listening tools to remote patient monitoring and EMR frustrations.
RJ brings decades of experience designing and implementing data-powered healthcare tools. He shares stories from Estenda’s early work with the Department of Defense and the VA, explains how wearable tech is changing chronic care, and reveals why real transformation in medicine is as much about people and process as it is about technology.
We also talk triathlons, startup roadblocks, and RJ’s personal productivity framework, Productive Harmony, which explores how energy—not time—is the key to doing meaningful work without burning out.
