In Episode 94 of the Medtech Business Academy, Skender Daerti and Barbara Strain tackle the uncertainty gripping today’s healthcare ecosystem. With macroeconomic signals sending mixed messages and the passage of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” creating new Medicaid challenges, both providers and suppliers are frozen in indecision.
This episode breaks through the paralysis.
Skender and Barbara explore the current “deer in headlights” moment across the industry and outline tangible steps medtech leaders can take now to prepare for either a market boom or a deeper stall. Topics include:
- How tariffs, Medicaid shifts, and rural hospital strain are shaping the landscape
- Why value propositions must evolve for 2025 and beyond
- Practical strategies to lean your portfolio, reframe your messaging, and re-engage your customers
- The overlooked opportunities in pediatrics and under-resourced markets
- What it means to "hit them where they ain't" in today’s environment
Whether you're staring at flat sales or waiting for a signal to invest, this conversation will help you act with clarity, mitigate risk, and set the stage for growth.
