    Clinician Connectivity 🌐 and the Future of Digital Medicine 🛜⚕️

    Healthcare is at a moment of recalibration. As digital tools, artificial intelligence, and virtual care move from experimentation to infrastructure, the defining question is no longer whether technology belongs in medicine—but how it is designed, governed, and integrated in service of clinicians and patients alike. The future of digital health will be shaped less by novelty and more by trust, usability, and alignment with the realities of clinical practice. It is within this context that conversations about clinician connectivity, AI, and platform-driven care delivery become essential—not solely as technology discussions, but as discussions about how healthcare is practiced and experienced. In this episode of The TechLink Health Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Amit Phull⁠, Chief Clinical Experience Officer at Doximity, for a wide-ranging and timely conversation on clinician connectivity, artificial intelligence, and the future of digital medicine. Doximity⁠ has become one of the most trusted platforms in healthcare—used by the majority of U.S. physicians—to help clinicians connect, collaborate, and navigate an increasingly complex care environment. Often described as the “LinkedIn for Doctors,” the platform has evolved well beyond networking to support telehealth, clinical communication, education, and now clinician-first generative AI. In this conversation, Dr. Phull shares insights into the evolution of DoxGPT and how it’s being designed to reduce administrative burden, improve documentation workflows, and support physicians without compromising trust, accuracy, or safety, while also discussing what’s next in Doximity’s innovation pipeline and how the company is navigating a rapidly changing digital health landscape as a public company. Beyond Doximity itself, this episode takes a broader look at the state of telehealth—where adoption stands today, what’s working post-pandemic, and where opportunities remain to improve access, equity, and clinician experience. We also discuss what the clinician of the future may look like, how medical education must continue to evolve, and the role of a connected technology ecosystem in enabling better health outcomes while addressing burnout. This episode offers a thoughtful, clinician-centered perspective on how technology—when designed with intention—can strengthen the practice of medicine in a rapidly changing world.

    An Inventor’s Lens💡⚙️ A Path 👣 Forward

    The heart of innovation is very much at the intersection of creativity, engineering, and human need. As many are focused on creating the future-of-health, it becomes increasingly important to unpack the art of invention itself and understand how this translates into breakthroughs that make their way into everyday life, helping to shape how we see and navigate the world. In this episode we go deep into the creative process and innovation practices of Garrett Brown, a Hall-of-Fame Inventor and the visionary mind behind the Oscar-Winning Steadicam, the Skycam, a sports-broadcasting staple, and more recently, ⁠The Zeen⁠, an upright mobility device designed to restore independence, balance, and confidence for people at risk of falling. Garrett’s story spans decades of creative exploration—from redefining cinematography and visual storytelling in iconic films like Rocky and Return of the Jedi, to applying that same inventive mindset to health, wellness, and mobility. With more than 120 patents and a career defined by curiosity, persistence, and human-centered design, Garrett offers a rare perspective on how breakthrough ideas are born—and how they can meaningfully improve lives. Listen in with us as we hear the journey that led to the invention of The Zeen, and the broader mission of ⁠Exokinetics⁠ to advance the future of mobility. We also reflect on what it truly means to innovate for humanity, what aspiring inventors can learn from decades of hands-on problem solving, and why inventing shouldn’t feel mysterious—but accessible, intuitive, and even fun. This conversation is a reminder that some of the most impactful innovations start with imagination, craftsmanship, empathy, and a deep understanding of how people move through—and experience—the world. Other topics range from why it’s important to balance the promise of AI with its potential risks, to how looking back at history and exploring the evolution of humanity can help shape the future of innovation, to would it be possible for a legendary inventor like Benjamin Franklin to perceive the world today.

    Future-Ready 🛜 Home Health 🌐 Connectivity in an IoHT 🌎 World

    In today’s episode, we explore the evolving world of the Internet of Things (IoT), with a focus on its healthcare applications—IoHT (Internet of Health Things) and MIoT (Medical Internet of Things). These technologies are reshaping healthcare, personal safety, and connected care. The MIoT market is projected to grow from $93 billion in 2025 to $134 billion by 2029, while the smart hospital market may reach $148 billion. With 2.2 to 3.3 million connected medical devices already in use globally, the impact on patient monitoring, operational efficiency, and health equity is significant. While macro trends are important, we’ll also highlight specific technologies making a difference every day. In past episodes, we’ve talked about challenges associated with an aging population and in today’s episode we’ll dial in and look to connect the dots with connected devices that are focused on sending medical alerts. As a quick highlight, 1 in 4 adults over 65 fall each year, which is a significant number considering that falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults age 65 and older. The Golden Hour is the critical first 60 minutes following an emergency event, when receiving treatment is believed to offer the greatest chances of survival. Here to talk about all of this and more is Chia-Lin Simmons, CEO of LogicMark. ⁠LogicMark⁠ provides a comprehensive platform of technology products and services that enable the Internet of Things (IoT). It provides technology products and services in healthcare communications and personal safety applications and services.
