Welcome to HealthTech Check Up!  Hosts Rachelle Galant and Perry Dimas sit down with John Bain, Director at Umano Medical, to explore how one company is redefining hospital beds—and the broader patient experience—through smart technology and customer-driven innovation.

John shares his journey from aspiring public service professional to over two decades in medical device sales, offering a unique perspective on how technology has evolved in healthcare and why large consumer tech companies have yet to fully disrupt the space. The conversation dives into the challenges of centralizing patient data, navigating regulations, and earning trust in a competitive market dominated by mega-suppliers.

From the role of AI in fall prevention to the importance of true partnerships with health systems, John explains how Umano’s culture of innovation keeps them agile and responsive to customer needs. The discussion also touches on emerging trends like in-home clinical spaces, the future of centralized health data, and why sometimes, the simplest process improvements can make the biggest difference for patients and providers alike.
