Each episode focuses on a specific development: how continuous glucose monitors are changing diabetes management, the FDA's latest clearance for an AI-driven ECG algorithm, or the business models behind telehealth startups like Ro and Hims & Hers. Lucas brings a journalist's precision to the numbers — market sizes, clinical trial results, reimbursement rates — while Luna challenges him on the real-world impact for clinicians and patients. They dissect earnings reports from Apple and Fitbit, parse policy moves from the FDA and CMS, and debate whether VC-funded digital health unicorns can sustain their valuations. Listeners — healthcare professionals, investors, tech strategists — get a clear-eyed briefing on what works, what's hype, and what's next in a sector where staying informed means understanding both the science and the business. How do you separate signal from noise when every startup claims to democratize healthcare? #DigitalHealth #Wearables #HealthTech #Telemedicine #FDA #RemotePatientMonitor…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-20T20:20:38.160520+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006"},"episode":{"title":"How AI Is Decoding Your Microbiome from a Single Stool Sample","slug":"how-ai-is-decoding-your-microbiome-from-a-single-stool-sample","published_at":"2026-06-16T20:24:14+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006/how-ai-is-decoding-your-microbiome-from-a-single-stool-sample","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-digital-health-podcast/episode-0055.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-digital-health-podcast/episode-0055.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Digital Health Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how artificial intelligence is transforming microbiome analysis. They focus on a specific startup, Viome, which uses RNA sequencing and AI to provide personalized dietary recommendations from a single stool sample. The discussion covers the technology behind metatranscriptomics, how it differs from traditional DNA sequencing, and why this matters for conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and metabolic health. Lucas explains the shift from generic probiotics to targeted interventions, while Luna questions the evidence base and the regulatory path. They also touch on the business model — subscription-based testing — and the challenge of turning complex microbiome data into actionable advice. The episode includes a brief, organic donation segment acknowledging listener support that keeps the show ad-free. Whether you're a health-tech operator or a curious patient, this episode offers a concrete look at how AI is decoding one of the most complex ecosystems in the human body. #Microbiome #AI #Viome #RNASequencing #Metatranscriptomics #DigitalHealth #GutHealth #PersonalizedMedicine #Probiotics #MetabolicHealth #IBD #StoolTest #HealthTech #Bioinformatics #Startup #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of The Digital Health Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how artificial intelligence is transforming microbiome analysis.
