What’s standing between groundbreaking healthcare tech and the people who actually need it? Bureaucracy, outdated incentives, and yes—still those faxes.

Angela Presley, Program Manager for Healthcare Accelerators at Dartmouth, joins the show to unpack why it takes 20 years (yes, really) for most innovations to reach clinical practice—and what we can do about it.

We cover:
🧠 Why ‘first do no harm’ makes innovation hard—but necessary
📉 The most frustrating bottleneck for clinicians (spoiler: reimbursement)
📈 One change management tip that actually works
📬 Why practice managers should negotiate smarter with payers
📱 Medtech’s future: miniaturization + meaningful data
