Josh and Alan reunite for a casual “solo” episode to catch up on a busy few weeks – from Josh becoming a new father to key takeaways from ViVE and HIMSS. They break down what Josh learned firsthand navigating the maternity and postpartum journey, including gaps in digital health, confusing patient portal experiences, and how AI tools are already filling in between clinical visits. They also touch on insights from the Feb/Mar conference circuit, covering AI adoption trends, why digital health projects fail, and what health systems are getting right (and wrong) when it comes to patient experience.
