The Clinical Realist
Healthcare innovation is broken. We have billion-dollar AI running on 1990s infrastructure. We have startups dying in "Pilotitis." And we have leaders frozen by analysis paralysis.
Dr. Sarah Matt (The Clinical Realist) is here to fix the disconnect between the tech stack and the trauma bay.
Join Dr. Matt—physician, strategist, and author of The Borderless Healthcare Revolution—as she cuts through the hype to reveal what actually works in modern medicine. No buzzwords. No fluff. Just the raw, unvarnished truth about how to lead, build, and survive in the future of healthcare.
If you are tired of the "Star Trek" vision and want the "Clinical Reality," this is your show.
