Day24: Where Healthcare Meets Exponential Innovation is a podcast that delves into the transformative moment in healthcare, represented by a metaphor on the 24th day of peaceful walks at Radnor Lake in Nashville.
Imagine Radnor Lake, an eighty-five square acre lake, tranquil and vast, where lily pads begin to grow, each only one square inch in size. On the first day, there’s just one lily pad, seemingly insignificant on such a large body of water. But each day, the lily pads double, steadily covering more of the lake’s surface. By Day 24, the pads have grown to cover just 1% of the lake—a small, but noticeable change that hints at the scale of what’s to come. However, in the next few days, the exponential growth becomes dramatic. By Day 30, Radnor Lake is completely covered, having surged from 1% to full coverage in a relatively short period.
This exponential growth, deceptively slow at first, reaches a tipping point where it accelerates rapidly, a powerful analogy for the healthcare innovations emerging today. Just as Radnor Lake’s transformation seemed gradual until the final days, so too does the impact of biotechnology, AI, genomic sequencing, device platforms, emerging datasets, and the invention of other transformative technologies, which, though seemingly incremental, are now poised to reshape the healthcare landscape at a pace few can anticipate, yet alone understand.
Each episode will explore how these exponential innovations are addressing urgent healthcare challenges—from rising costs and limited access to workforce shortages and an aging population. Host Eric Thrailkill, a longtime leader in healthcare technology and innovation, brings his wealth of knowledge and insight to guide conversations on these pivotal developments.
As these innovations continue to scale and accelerate, "Day24" brings together experts who are not only shaping the future of healthcare but are also focused on deploying solutions that make a tangible impact. Guests from diverse fields will share their perspectives on how we can harness the rapid pace of change to ensure these advancements are both effective and sustainable. They’ll discuss the complexities of implementing new technologies within existing healthcare systems, regulatory impacts, transformative business models, and the importance of aligning innovation with real-world needs. Listeners will gain insight into the strategic, operational, and ethical considerations that come with exponential growth and the methods by which leaders are striving to measure success beyond traditional metrics, emphasizing improvements in patient outcomes and cost control.
"Day24" is not only about exploring innovation but also about defining what meaningful progress looks like in an industry facing seismic shifts. By emphasizing equal measures of health outcome improvement and cost containment, the podcast is committed to reshaping how success is defined in healthcare. Through compelling conversations, Eric and his guests will illuminate paths to scale these groundbreaking solutions, sharing how visionary ideas can transition from pilot projects to widespread practice. With "Day24," listeners are invited to join the journey at a time when exponential innovation is not just a concept but an active force reshaping healthcare for the better.
