Mavericks in Healthcare: Chronicles of Innovation

What happens after a patient leaves the hospital may matter as much as the care they received inside it. In this conversation, Ajay Mody and Asher Perzigian sit down with Dimer Health CEO and Co-Founder Caroline Hodge to discuss why the post-discharge period remains one of healthcare's biggest challenges—and how Dimer Health is helping patients recover safely at home through a technology-enabled transitional care model. 
Caroline shares the vision behind Dimer Health, the healthcare gaps the company is working to address, and the lessons learned while building a new approach to care transitions. At the heart of the discussion is Dimer Health's mission to guide patients through every health transition with seamless, proactive, personalized care—combining physician-led expertise with purpose-built technology to improve outcomes and deliver a higher standard of care. As a winner of Accenture's HealthTech Innovation Challenge, Dimer Health is gaining recognition for its innovative approach to extending care beyond traditional healthcare settings. 
You'll also get an exclusive preview of Dimer Connect, a platform reimagining the discharge experience as a seamless, connected, and interactive patient journey—and offering a glimpse into what's next for personalized, proactive care. 
For healthcare leaders focused on innovation, patient engagement, and the future of care delivery, this conversation provides a firsthand look at the next generation of patient support and care coordination.

The future of healthcare isn't just smarter agentic AI—it's better access. Hyro is transforming how patients connect with health systems through responsible AI that simplifies scheduling, streamlines support, and helps people get the care they need.
In this episode, Hyro CEO and Co-Founder Israel Krush shares how AI agents are helping some of the nation's largest health systems modernize the patient experience. Driven by the belief that many of healthcare's biggest challenges can be solved through responsible AI, Hyro has focused on improving what Israel describes as one of the most critical interactions in healthcare: the connection between patients and the health system. From automating appointment scheduling and call center operations to closing care gaps and improving engagement, Hyro is driving measurable results while keeping care human-centered. As Israel explains, "We want to transform healthcare. We want to disrupt healthcare. We don't want to own healthcare."
Israel also discusses what it takes to scale agentic AI in healthcare, why responsible guardrails matter, and how organizations can move from experimentation to real-world impact. Along the way, he shares lessons on leadership, innovation, digital transformation, and building technology that solves meaningful healthcare challenges.
Tune in to learn how AI agents are reshaping access to care and creating better experiences for patients, providers, and health systems alike.

What if we could cut hospitalizations nearly in half—before symptoms even show up?
Kelly Constable, CEO of CloudCath, is making that a reality with a breakthrough remote monitoring platform that detects infections early for dialysis patients—replacing subjective, manual checks with continuous, data-driven insight at home.
In this episode, Kelly shares how CloudCath is transforming chronic kidney disease (CKD) care by enabling earlier intervention, reducing hospitalizations, and helping patients stay out of the ER while preserving quality of life. She dives into the power of real-world data, the shift toward home-based and value-driven care, and why scalable, tech-enabled solutions are essential in the face of workforce shortages.
We also explore the business of healthcare innovation—from building the right board and network to commercializing medtech and scaling adoption in complex ecosystems.

If no one is paying attention, you don't have a message—you have noise. Scott Becker, Founder and Publisher of Becker's Healthcare and Partner at McGuireWoods, shares how that realization reshaped healthcare media and turned a small legal newsletter into one of the most trusted sources for healthcare leaders navigating constant change.
From cutting through information overload to building trust with executives, this conversation dives into what healthcare leaders actually read, why short form relevance beats volume, and how community, data, and relentless iteration drive impact. Along the way, Scott offers candid insights on access, affordability, workforce pressures, and the evolving role of technology and AI—making this a must listen for healthcare leaders and builders focused on clarity, credibility, and staying ahead of what's next.

What if healthcare scarcity and workforce shortages aren't a crisis to manage—they are an assumption to challenge? In this episode, we sit down with Munjal Shah, CEO and Co-Founder of Hippocratic AI, to unpack how healthcare specialized AI is helping systems create infinite hours of care and ensure clinicians can work at the top of their licence—not replace them. Built from more than 180 million real-world patient interactions and rigorously validated for clinical accuracy, safety, empathy, and regulatory compliance, Hippocratic AI is setting a new bar for AI that can operate in real care environments.
 
We dig into the "abundance mindset" reshaping how providers, payers, and life sciences organizations think about patient engagement—and why the ROI math is finally starting to make sense. Munjal also shares three major announcements: Polaris 5.0, their most advanced clinical voice AI model yet - outperforming every major frontier AI model on medical safety and tasks; AI Front Door, an omnichannel approach that replaces rigid call trees with human centered conversations; and Nurse Co-pilot, designed to give nurses back hours in their shifts by safely offloading routine bedside tasks like education and intake.
 
From rethinking triage logic to imagining a world where your health system calls just to check in — this conversation will change how you think about what's possible in healthcare.
