    Breast CT Scan: Will It Replace the Mammogram? | Dr. David Bodne

    In this breast CT conversation, Dr. David Bodne, Chief Medical Officer of Clarity Imaging Partners, shares his view of screening without compression, how he reads the images, and the friction that can keep women from returning for care. Revenue stuck in your MedTech or health-tech company? Book 30 minutes with Terry: https://api.revrxai.com/widget/bookings/30-minute-meeting-with-terry David describes his experience with breast imaging and gives his account of changes in screening participation. Those examples are his account of the work and the patients he has seen. We also discuss AI in healthcare, the responsibility behind a clinical decision, and a cash pay screening example. David argues that intelligence and wisdom are different, and that the person who carries responsibility still matters. The conversation turns to access beyond price. David describes childcare and transport barriers, then outlines a proposed workflow that brings screening, diagnostics and biopsy to the site. We close with his advice to stay humble and curious. The Zero Friction Podcast from RevRx AI explores how founders, clinicians, and technology leaders make healthcare and business work better by removing the obstacles that slow people down.

    Medical Thermography: Why One Image Isn't Enough | Kristin Burton

    Medical thermography is difficult to explain when the conversation stops at one image. Host Terry Coutsolioutsos speaks with Kristin Burton, Owner and CEO, Med-Hot Infrared Imaging, about why she puts comparison studies and patterns over time at the center of the conversation. Revenue stuck in your MedTech or health-tech company? Book 30 minutes with Terry: https://api.revrxai.com/widget/bookings/30-minute-meeting-with-terry Kristin describes how her team documents thermal variation, how follow-up studies support comparison, and how an interpreting medical doctor's report fits into the process. She also explains the language she uses with practices and the importance of keeping that language aligned with the intended role of the technology. They explore her garden metaphor, the current interpretation workflow, the opportunity she sees in wound care, and the work involved in training practices to capture consistent images. The conversation also covers Med-Hot's turnkey system, IAMT education, stewardship of the company and the advice Kristin would give her younger self. The Zero Friction Podcast from RevRx AI explores how founders, clinicians, and technology leaders make healthcare and business work better by removing the obstacles that slow people down. Topics Covered - Why does one thermal image leave out the comparison over time? - How does Kristin describe structure and physiology? - What happens after the first study? - Why does the medical doctor's report matter in the workflow? - How does the garden metaphor explain her approach? - Where does AI interpretation fit in her current compliance account? - What makes wound care a workflow and awareness conversation? - How do equipment, training and continuing education fit together?

    Patient Intake Software: It's Almost 2027, Ditch the Clipboard | Jenn Denham, Aloha

    Patient intake software can take a lot of friction out of a practice before a patient ever walks in the door. Host Terry Coutsolioutsos talks with Jenn Denham, Chief Growth Officer at Aloha (formerly Review Wave), about the paperwork, phone tag and hard-to-use booking forms that slow down patients and staff. Revenue stuck in your MedTech or health-tech company? Book 30 minutes with Terry: https://api.revrxai.com/widget/bookings/30-minute-meeting-with-terry Jenn has spent about 20 years in marketing, the last eight in healthcare tech. She helps chiropractors, eye doctors and dentists use AI and automation so their staff spend less time on data entry and more time with patients. She walks through what a new patient runs into on a phone: phone tag, a booking form that asks for a time first, and a clipboard with 15 pieces of paper. She explains how Aloha's Charlie AI voice receptionist and mobile intake forms handle those steps, and why a practice should test its own patient journey before adding AI. Terry and Jenn also talk about buying AI the right way. Train an agent like a new hire, give an internal champion real time to lead it, and ask vendors about onboarding, live support and native integrations. The Zero Friction Podcast from RevRx AI explores how founders, clinicians, and technology leaders make healthcare and business work better by removing the obstacles that slow people down. Topics Covered - How Review Wave became Aloha - Mapping the patient journey from search to first visit - Charlie AI and ending phone tag - Replacing the clipboard with mobile intake forms - Testing your booking form as a brand-new patient - The 10 to 15 touch points before the first visit - Keeping the patient relationship going after the visit - Training AI like a new hire, with an internal champion - Questions to ask about onboarding, support and integrations Chapters 0:00 Opening highlights 1:22 Patient intake software: meet Jenn Denham and Aloha 2:00 Reducing friction in healthcare 3:25 From Review Wave to Aloha 4:24 Map the patient journey 5:43 Charlie AI and ending phone tag 7:02 Replace the clipboard 9:25 Give staff time for human connection 11:32 Test your practice as a new patient 13:45 Fix friction before adding AI 15:48 Meet patients on their terms 17:07 Touch points before the first visit 18:18 Keep the patient relationship going 20:02 Evaluate tools and integrations 22:03 Train AI like a new hire 27:14 A practical adoption plan 28:29 Help staff own the change 31:29 Bring the team into discovery 32:33 Onboarding, support and buyer questions Important Links and Resources Aloha: https://getaloha.com/ Jenn Denham: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenndenham/ Host Terry Coutsolioutsos: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-coutsolioutsos/ RevRx AI: https://revrxai.com/ What would you change first in your practice's patient journey? #PatientExperience #PatientIntake #HealthcareAutomation #ZeroFrictionPodcast

    Selling to Health Systems: Why They Won't Buy Your AI | Sarah Richardson, The 229 Project

    Selling to health systems gets harder when your AI pitch explains the technology but never explains the outcome. Host Terry Coutsolioutsos sits down with Sarah Richardson, Principal, The 229 Project, to discuss what healthcare leaders need from the partners asking for their time and budget. Revenue stuck in your MedTech or health-tech company? Book 30 minutes with Terry: https://api.revrxai.com/widget/bookings/30-minute-meeting-with-terry Sarah explains why the work starts with a problem, an owner and a clear operational path to a better result. They discuss AI governance, treating agents as employees, application rationalization and the pressure to reduce an already crowded technology stack. The conversation also follows the origins of The 229 Project, the value of peers solving shared problems, and why trusted relationships matter long before a cold email arrives. Sarah closes with advice about building the relationships you need before a moment of crisis or opportunity. The Zero Friction Podcast from RevRx AI explores how founders, clinicians, and technology leaders make healthcare and business work better by removing the obstacles that slow people down.

    Patient Experience: A Former Disney Imagineer on Patient Anxiety | Roger Holzberg, Reimagine Well

    Patient experience can break down when fear walks in with the patient. Host Terry Coutsolioutsos sits down with Roger Holzberg, Founder and Creative Director of Reimagine Well. Roger once led creative teams at Walt Disney Imagineering. Now he builds healing rooms and games for hospitals. Revenue stuck in your MedTech or health-tech company? Book 30 minutes with Terry: https://api.revrxai.com/widget/bookings/30-minute-meeting-with-terry Roger's path changed when a doctor told him he had cancer, on the eve of his 50th birthday. He explains how Disney's "architecture of reassurance" became his "architecture of healing." He also says why the most important voice in healing has to be the patient's. He shares the one question he asks patients: what special place would help heal you? That question led to the Infusionarium. His team also built a game that lets kids explore a radiation room before they go in. Roger says the pilot study lowered the mean age of sedation from 10 to 3. Terry and Roger also talk about money. Roger says a hospital can earn more without a new billing code.

    Space Medicine: Healthcare Where There Is No Hospital | Savi Glowe, BioAstra

    Space medicine starts with a hard problem. How do you care for people when there is no hospital nearby? Host Terry Coutsolioutsos sits down with Savi Glowe, CEO and Co-founder of BioAstra. BioAstra is a nonprofit that studies human health in space and in extreme places on Earth. Revenue stuck in your MedTech or health-tech company? Book 30 minutes with Terry: https://api.revrxai.com/widget/bookings/30-minute-meeting-with-terry Savi spent about 20 years in large academic medical centers, most recently at Mount Sinai. She calls space a forcing function for both the body and the tools we build. In her words, health tech that flies has to be small, rugged and self-powered. That is why it can then go anywhere on Earth. Terry and Savi talk about how to plan medical care for missions and remote trips. They cover how to run studies with no lab and no cold chain. Savi tells how NASA helped shrink the ultrasound into a handheld tool. She also shares how the ultrasound on the space station helped the crew in a recent medical event. They also talk about BioAstra's nonprofit model and its spin-outs. They cover plans for independent human spaceflight research and twin missions built on the NASA Twins Study. Savi ends with her advice to her 22-year-old self.

    Whole Body MRI: The Future of Health Starts Before Symptoms | Brian Tsui, CoreViva

    Many serious diseases are found late, after symptoms show up. Whole body MRI can find them earlier, with no radiation. Host Terry Coutsolioutsos sits down with Dr. Brian Tsui, a board-certified neuroradiologist, former UCSF faculty member, and co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of CoreViva. Revenue stuck in your MedTech or health-tech company? Book 30 minutes with Terry: https://api.revrxai.com/widget/bookings/30-minute-meeting-with-terry Brian explains how whole body CT, ultrasound and MRI compare. CT uses radiation and can miss subtle changes in the brain. Ultrasound has a hard time seeing deep inside the body. MRI shows the brain, abdomen, pelvis and joints in fine detail, without injected dye. He walks through a visit at CoreViva, from the intake forms to the scan to a half-hour review with a radiologist on a big screen. Patients also get a written report and the CoreViva Score, an AI-generated report card that tracks brain age, visceral fat and muscle quality over time. Terry and Brian also talk about brain health, who pays cash for proactive screening, how HSA and FSA fit in, and how CoreViva reached 2,000 scans. The Zero Friction Podcast from RevRx AI explores how founders, clinicians, and technology leaders make healthcare and business work better by removing the obstacles that slow people down. Topics Covered - What can a whole body CT miss, and how much radiation does it use? - CT, ultrasound or MRI: which works best for whole body screening? - Why ultrasound struggles to see deep inside the body - What does a whole body MRI visit look like, start to finish? - Why review your scan with a radiologist? - How an AI report card tracks brain age, visceral fat and muscle - Worried about Alzheimer's? What a brain scan can show early - How to slow microvascular disease and lower stroke risk - Is whole body MRI covered by insurance, HSA or FSA? - Why one brain percentile matters less than the trend Chapters 0:00 Preview 0:41 Zero Friction 0:52 Whole body MRI with Dr. Brian Tsui 1:46 From radiology training to proactive medicine 3:17 Whole body MRI vs whole body CT 3:56 CT radiation and what it can miss 5:04 Where ultrasound falls short 6:23 Why MRI for whole body screening 7:47 Thin 1 mm brain slices 8:28 CoreViva's physician-led model 9:56 The patient experience, from intake to scan 11:17 Going over results with a radiologist 12:56 A tour of your scan: brain, heart, liver 14:20 The written report and the CoreViva Score 16:44 Why meeting the radiologist matters 18:45 Brain health and Alzheimer's worries 20:21 Microvascular disease and stroke risk 22:14 Habits that protect your brain 23:10 Who gets proactive screening 24:02 Cash pay, HSA and FSA 25:43 Why a baseline scan matters 26:28 Brain percentiles: watch the trend 28:23 2,000 scans and early growth 31:25 Plans beyond whole body MRI 32:28 Advice to his younger self Important Links and Resources CoreViva: https://coreviva.com/ Host Terry Coutsolioutsos: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-coutsolioutsos/ RevRx AI: https://revrxai.com/ Would you get a whole body MRI before you had any symptoms?
