And now that I have your attention - I'm going to be at HLTH Inc. (#HLTH, #HLTH2025) in Las Vegas from next Monday afternoon until Wednesday morning. Stephen S. Hau will be with me, and if we don't already have plans to catch up - let's do it! After three decades in healthcare IT, it's great to see all the old friends. Jasper, perhaps for the best, will not be in attendance. #HLTHUSA #digitalhealth #newfirepartners Newfire Global Partners

🎙 Why do 80% of digital health platforms fail to scale? It starts with one word: trust. In this episode, William Crawford talks with Alexis Levine McKenna (former CPTO at Huddle Up Care) about what it really takes to convert clinical skeptics into your biggest champions. Topics they dive into: • How to frame product-led growth for success in a highly regulated industry • Strategies to ensure C-suite alignment on roadmap priorities • Scaling platforms for diverse stakeholders – from therapists to parents to school districts • The right way to bring AI into clinical workflows (hint: augment, don’t replace) 🔗 Tune in for strategies to ensure your product is a “driver of trust, engagement, and ultimately scale”: https://hubs.li/Q03DjFJp0 . . . #AI #healthcare #healthtech #digitalhealth #productstrategy #podcast #newfire

Finding the right doctor shouldn’t be a guessing game—but outdated, inaccurate provider directories make it harder than it should be. In Episode 4 of Hard Problems, Smart Solutions, Ron Urwongse, co-founder of Defacto Health, joins Brendan Iglehart to explore how better provider data can improve care coordination, transparency, and regulatory compliance. Learn why provider directories are more than just lists of names—and how they impact efficiency, patient experience, and healthcare access. 🎧 Tune in now: https://hubs.li/Q037XtdL0 . . . #data #healthcare #digitalhealth #healthtech #interoperability #newfire
