The End of “One More Tool”; Why the Next Decade Belongs to Connectors, Integrators, and Platform Layers.

About this episode

The episode discusses the oversupply of disconnected innovations in healthcare and the need for better integration.

If you’ve attended any healthcare conference, a pattern emerges so consistently that it becomes impossible to ignore: healthcare is not suffering from a lack of innovation. It is suffering from an oversupply of disconnected innovations, where each one is well-intentioned, each one promising value, and each one adding yet another layer to an already unmanageable tech landscape.
