Focus on Physicians:
Insights, Ideas, and Strategies
My Podcast Interview with Kristen Jacobsen of RevSpring
The patient's experience after a healthcare encounter is often overlooked, but it can be nearly as emotionally impactful as the office visit, procedure, or hospitalization itself. Physicians often have little influence on the ways that revenue is collected, but from a patient’s perspective, it is part of the same process as the care we provide.
As a podcast host for the TechLink Health podcast I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Kristen Jacobsen of RevSpring. Kristen explained how AI and technology integration can enhance the experience and how her company engages with patients throughout their treatment path.

My Podcast Interview with Rick Sherak of Exogenics
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Rick Sherak, co-founder of Exokinetics, Inc., for the TechLink Health podcast. It was one of the most thought-provoking conversations I’ve had in a while. In this wide-ranging chat, we explored the story behind the Zeen—a groundbreaking upright mobility device that’s reshaping what’s possible for individuals with limited mobility.

In this wide-ranging chat, we explored the story behind the Zeen—a groundbreaking upright mobility device that’s reshaping what’s possible for individuals with limited mobility.
The Zeen isn’t just a mobility aid; it’s a beautifully engineered fusion of form and function that allows users to glide, stand, and sit with dignity and ease. It’s unlike anything I’ve encountered—and the inspiration behind its creation is just as compelling as the device itself.
Unlike a wheelchair, the Zeen allows eye-level interactions. As a cardiologist, I’ve seen the harms that isolation can cause. The internet is great, but one of the many lessons we learned from Covid-19 is that the value of in-person human contact cannot be overestimated.
While the Zeen may not be the right fit for everyone, for many who are homebound or reliant on others to get around, it offers the potential for meaningful mobility and a degree of independence that may otherwise be out of reach.
Rick’s passion for innovation and helping others is truly contagious. Tune in to this episode anywhere you listen to podcasts, or through the Spotify link below.
My Podcast Interview with Livia Robic of Withings for BeamO
