Diagnostic intelligence is transforming healthcare by turning lab testing from a cost center into a strategic asset. 

In this episode, Dr. Julie Schulz, Vice President of Product at Avalon Healthcare Solutions, discusses how integrating diagnostics into value-based care can lead to improved quality, lower costs, and enhanced preventive medicine. She notes that physicians are overwhelmed by the rapid growth of genetic testing and evolving clinical guidelines, leading to cognitive overload and inefficiencies. Diagnostic intelligence, she explains, can alleviate this by identifying the right tests at the right time and automating prior authorizations, reducing treatment timelines from 60 days to just 15. Dr. Schulz emphasizes that diagnostics inform 70% of healthcare decisions, making their effective use vital for improving access and outcomes, particularly among underserved populations, and underscores that simplifying data and embedding clinical decision support earlier can benefit both patients and providers.

Live, facilitated groups that confront loneliness head-on are a powerful and scalable lever for real behavior change.

In this episode, co-founders of Keep Company, Adrienne Prentice (CEO) and Claudia Naim-Burt (COO), share how synchronous, human-to-human groups outperform message boards and self-guided programs by dissolving shame, fostering accountability, and improving outcomes like retention and sustainable performance. They describe these groups as a “third space” between casual support and one-to-one therapy, supported by step-up and step-down pathways and referrals when clinical care is needed. To balance intimacy with scale, they highlight their patented gathering technology, 60-factor whole-person matching, and a closed-loop platform that manages registration, introductions, facilitation, and insights. Drawing on evidence across areas such as caregiving, chronic illness, and weight management, they emphasize that while AI can enhance logistics and quality, genuine human connection, and even healthy friction, it remains essential for resilience and long-term well-being.

Early detection is the key to longevity, and proteomics may be the breakthrough that finally makes it possible.

In this episode, Matthew Bradley, Director of Marketing at Molecular You, shares how the company’s “pre-diagnostic” approach is redefining preventive healthcare. Instead of waiting for symptoms, their blood-based proteomic testing detects early biological changes that signal potential disease risk. By analyzing proteins rather than genes, Molecular You offers a real-time picture of a person’s health and lifestyle impact. Bradley also highlights how at-home testing and partnerships with functional and concierge medicine providers are making proactive, personalized care more accessible.

The next decade of mental health innovation won’t be defined by who builds the best product, but by who anticipates the policy pathways that bring it to scale.

In this episode, Kacie Kelly, Chief Innovation Officer at Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, explores how behavioral health startups can bridge the gap between early traction and national scalability by viewing policy as a strategic growth tool rather than merely a compliance requirement. She reflects on a recent Washington, DC, event that united over 60 tech and policy leaders to tackle barriers to scaling tech-enabled, measurement-informed care. The discussion spanned topics such as AI in mental health, workforce trust in technology, and the importance of constructive dialogue between innovators and policymakers. Kacie highlights that policy determines who pays for what, when, and how, urging founders to build reimbursement strategies early and leverage programs like HeadsUp to navigate policy landscapes and accelerate growth through federal initiatives.

The shift to outpatient surgery is transforming how care is delivered.

In this episode, Dr. Adam Thaler, Medical Director at Summit Health, discusses leading a urology-focused ambulatory surgery center and the rapid growth of outpatient procedures. He explains why airway management is the cornerstone of patient safety in ASCs and why he relies on video laryngoscopy, particularly the McGrath MAC, for every case. Dr. Thaler highlights the clinical, financial, and operational benefits of this technology, including reduced complications, improved efficiency, and enhanced patient experience. He also shares advice for ASC leaders on embracing innovation, doing their own research, and treating every patient with the same high standard of care.
