In this episode I am in conversation with Matthew Holt, a prominent figure in health technology and policy;  an uncensored discussion on the current state of healthcare. Known for his frank and often controversial opinions, Holt is expected to delve into pressing issues such as the impact of artificial intelligence on medical practices, the ongoing challenges of healthcare affordability, and the slow pace of digital transformation in the industry. We'll explore his views on why many promised healthcare innovations have failed to deliver and what he believes are the most promising solutions on the horizon.

The interview will also touch on sensitive topics that often go undiscussed in mainstream healthcare conversations. Holt may share his unfiltered thoughts on the influence of big pharma and insurance companies, the shortcomings of current health policies, and the real-world consequences of a fragmented healthcare system.
