Which ones actually improve patient outcomes, and which are just repackaging old inefficiencies with better user interfaces? In Healthtech Talks with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna cut through the hype to examine the real economics and clinical evidence behind digital health, telemedicine, and medical software. They analyze specific companies — from telemedicine platforms like Teladoc to AI diagnostic tools from Aidoc — dissecting their business models, regulatory hurdles, and adoption curves. Lucas brings a journalist's precision to revenue numbers, clinical trial data, and policy changes (e.g., FDA digital health guidance, CMS telehealth reimbursement rules). Luna challenges assumptions about scalability, patient privacy, and equity of access, grounded in real-world case studies like Babylon Health's rise and fall or the integration of Epic Systems across hospital networks. Each episode focuses on a single topic: how remote patient monitoring platforms affect readmission rates, whether AI scribes actually reduce physician burnout, why some digital therapeutics succeed while others fail FDA clearance.

They dive into a specific case: how the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center reduced no-show rates by 30 percent using a machine learning model that factors in over 200 variables, from weather data to prior attendance history. The hosts discuss the financial impact of no-shows (estimated at $150 billion annually in the US), the ethical considerations of targeting interventions based on predicted behavior, and how systems like automated text reminders and ride-sharing vouchers are being deployed. They also touch on the broader implications for health equity and access.
