Healthcare doesn’t end at the clinic—and Luke O’Brien of Brook.AI knows that better than most. 

After navigating care for his father’s leukemia, Luke realized just how much support patients and caregivers need after leaving the doctor’s office.

How does a company built on virtual second opinions become a system-wide impact engine? 

By blending data, empathy, and results—not just tech.

In this episode, we explored what it really means to close care gaps—without forcing health systems to adopt yet another "new thing." Scott explained how they plug into existing infrastructures, using a results-based approach that leads to treatment changes in 70% of cases and diagnosis corrections in 25%.

From nurse care navigators to global partnerships, Scott breaks down how founders can scale with intention, how AI + white-glove service actually works, and why impact starts with understanding—not assumptions.

I’ve worked in ORs where we knew—if that patient had gotten a diagnosis sooner, they might’ve lived. That’s the cost of inaccessible care. It’s not about more innovation; it’s about making the innovation reachable.

Key Points You’ll Learn:

SHOW ME THE MONEY? Not if you're a woman in HealthTech.

Less than 2% of VC dollars go to women-led healthcare companies—and even fewer to women’s health solutions.

I spoke with Mayra Hurtado, CEO of Prelude Health, who’s scaled her menopause testing startup internationally. 

But like so many underrepresented founders, she’s still fighting for investor attention, burning time and energy trying to explain her impact to the wrong rooms.

Here’s what most founders don’t hear enough:

It’s not your pitch—it’s the positioning.

And you don’t need to fix yourself—you need a GPS for a system that was never built for you.

This episode is your wake-up call if:

• You’re stuck in the endless pitch cycle
• You’ve got traction, but investors still don’t “get it”
• You’re overextended, doing everything, and seeing little progress

Let’s stop asking for permission and start building stages designed for us. It’s not about working harder—it’s about aligning smarter.

What You’ll Learn

• Why brilliant products and polished pitches still don’t close funding
• The hidden roadblocks women and underrepresented founders face in healthcare
• How to position your innovation in a system designed to overlook you
• What “strategic alignment” really means—and how to use it to scale faster
• The story behind the creation of the HealthTech Showdown and why it matters

What if your health tech solution is built on biased data, and you don’t even know it?

On this episode, I sat down with Beverly Miner of Consensus Cloud Solutions live from the floor of VIVE to talk about one of the most overlooked drivers of healthcare inequity—unstructured data. From missed medications to tragic delays in care, we walk through what happens when critical patient information is locked in PDFs, never reaches the right provider, and gets left out of the systems we rely on to make decisions.

You’ll hear what Beverly’s team is doing to:

• Eliminate the need for costly EHR overhauls with cloud fax + data extraction
• Solve real problems like discharge delays, referral breakdowns, and prior auth lag
• Improve clinical workflow without asking care teams to learn new tech or platforms
• Address health equity by first solving tech equity in underserved markets

One of Beverly’s own family members died waiting for a prior authorization. That’s what drives her. This episode isn’t about buzzwords—it’s about fixing the backend issues that block care from reaching people who need it most.

If you’re a founder building in health tech, it’s time to stop creating tools that live in silos or pile more work on your end users. Ask:

Is your tech actually making it easier to deliver care—or just easier to sell a demo?

Key Talking Points: 

🔑 Why “tech equity” is the prerequisite for true health equity

🔑 How unstructured data is quietly skewing analytics and care quality

🔑 What founders get wrong about interoperability and burnout

🔑 Why fixing backend bottlenecks is the best ROI you can build into your tech

🔑 The one workflow rule you must follow if you want adoption to stick

Episode Timeline:

00:01:19 –  Beverly Miner from Consensus Cloud Solutions

00:04:37 – Tech equity as a key to health equity

00:08:17 – Call to founders: Build for integration, not just visibility

00:10:34 – Backend intelligence, not just dashboards

00:12:29 – Let clinicians practice: how data accuracy reduces burnout

00:14:56 – Magic wand wishes: Prior auth, burnout, and system cost

00:17:19 – Are we building functional or flashy tools in healthtech?

00:21:42 – What healthcare leaders can do right now to fix data problems

00:23:44 – Collaboration across roles: policy, scalability, and innovation

00:24:51 – Final reflection: Solving bias and access with smarter integration

00:25:36 – 7 Key takeaways from today’s episode

🔊 Notable Quotes

“Health equity has to equal tech equity. We need to make sure the technology and access to data is truly equitable—or we’re just widening the gap.” - Bevey Miner

“Interoperability is talked about endlessly—but founders need to stop chasing buzzwords and start solving real workflow problems at the point of care.”  – Sabrina Runbeck

____________________________________________

You built the tech. You raised the funds.

But your patient outcomes? 

Still inconsistent.

What if the real problem isn't your product… it's your patient handoff?

In this episode, Dr. Colin Banas and I unpack why even the best clinical tools fail if you don’t solve for the “voltage drop” in care transitions.

Those invisible gaps lead to readmissions, poor medication adherence, and missed outcomes.

Because nothing is more frustrating than knowing your solution works—and watching patients fall through the cracks anyway.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this conversation:

💠Why interoperability is your secret moat (and how 270+ EHR integrations helped DrFirst dominate)

💠The #1 reason patients don’t fill prescriptions—and how SMS nudges solve it

💠What a 10% adherence bump can really do for outcomes (and investor confidence)

💠How to build a joyous experience for clinicians and patients alike

💠Why sustainability > novelty when it comes to scaling HealthTech solutions

You’ve got the vision. The mission. The drive.

But somehow, deadlines slip, messaging splinters, and your team keeps “missing the point.”

Sound familiar? This episode is your blueprint to break the cycle.

I sat down with Shawna Smith to dissect a pattern I see all too often in HealthTech founders: visionary brilliance without the bridge to execution.

We dug into the real reasons your strategy meetings stall, your marketing fizzles, and your partnerships fall flat—and how to fix it without burning yourself (or your team) out.

Where do you see the biggest breakdown in your organization—vision, strategy, or execution?

Comment below with what tends to get lost in translation (and how you’re solving it). Your insight could be exactly what another founder needs to hear today.

• ▶️ The four layers of business planning—and where most teams get stuck
• ▶️ The difference between a plan and a capital “S” Strategy (it’s not what you think)
• ▶️ How to evaluate if your team has the right roles (or if you’re stuck managing doers)
• ▶️ What founders must provide before any team can produce real ROI
• 
  
• ▶️ How vague partnerships and misassigned authority dilute your core offer

CONFESSION TIME:

You’ve got the traction, the tech, the team…

So why do investors still walk away confused after your pitch?

You’re not alone.

In this episode, I sat down with Heather Caouette, a communications strategist who’s worked with high-growth startups and VCs, to unpack what’s really going wrong when brilliant founders can’t get buy-in.

Spoiler: it’s not your product. It’s how you're telling the story.

👉 If you’ve ever heard “That’s great, we’ll circle back” and never got the call, this episode is your wake-up call.

💡 Why most HealthTech pitches fail not because of the product, but the positioning

💡 The one test Warren Buffett says every pitch must pass

💡 What investors actually look for in the first 60 seconds of a conversation

💡 Why saying “we have no competitors” is a silent deal-killer

💡 How to build a company that feels healthy—not just looks good on paper
