🎧 Welcome to Smarter Systems, Better Care — your behind-the-scenes look into how healthcare leaders, physician innovators, and health tech founders are reshaping care delivery, digital health, and clinical systems.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alaina Brinley-Rajagopal, MD, PhD — Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer of Esperto Medical and an emergency medicine physician — to unpack her journey and the breakthrough science underpinning a new era of vital signs monitoring.💡 In This Conversation You’ll Learn:How Dr. Brinley-Rajagopal’s work in emergency medicine, global health, and aerospace medicine inspired a pivot to health tech innovationThe science behind resonance sonomanometry, a noninvasive, continuous blood pressure measurement technique (no cuff, no calibration)Real-world use cases: from ICU environments to remote patient monitoring (RPM), hospital, outpatient, and even austere settingsThe technical & regulatory roadmap for Esperto’s device commercializationThe intersection of physician mindset, startup culture, and clinical impactKey challenges in scaling medical devices, adoption in health systems, and bridging physician trust with innovation🔍 Why this matters:Blood pressure and vital sign measurement remain foundational to patient care — yet most devices are outdated, intermittent, and burden clinicians. Esperto’s approach addresses this blind spot in clinical monitoring, enabling continuous, high-fidelity data to drive better diagnostics, earlier intervention, and more personalized care.📲 Let’s connect—follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/johnathonfaulkner💬 What’s one small change you’ll test this week to make care smarter—reduce friction, improve a workflow, or help one more person—and what would it take to make it stick Drop your answer in the comments below!☑️ Ready to build smarter systems and deliver better care?
