Generative AI is being adopted in healthcare faster than any technology before it. On The Better Care Podcast, Rich Loomis, MD from Elsevier shares why this moment feels different from past innovation cycles: “In my career in healthcare, I haven't seen a technology adopted so quickly across the industry… What's really different about generative AI is that it feels real. I'm seeing companies rapidly embrace it, and deliver real value to their customers.” Healthcare providers aren’t waiting on the sidelines. They're finding ways to apply AI that improve workflows, enhance decision-making, and create better patient experiences. #HealthcareInnovation #GenerativeAI #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #BetterCarePodcast

Hospitals are constantly striving for operational efficiency, but real change doesn’t happen just because leadership sets an initiative, it requires the right strategy, measurement, and execution.

We can't fix healthcare without solving real problems for patients. On The Better Care Podcast, Meghan Huffman, VP of Digital Health at Novant Health, shared a moment that hit close to home. While visiting her grandparents, she found out they’d spent the week driving back and forth to follow-up appointments. They’re comfortable using an iPhone, so why wasn’t there an easier option? Digital health is about meeting patients where they are and making care more seamless, especially for those who need it most.
