  • No skips! Every episode is a necessary listen!

    Been following the show for over a year now and I’ve learned so much about the industry. John and David are master interviewers who always get to the heart of the story in 30 min or less. Going to be honest there are so many boring podcasts about health innovation— not this one! A total must-follow.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Targeting the Root Causes of Metabolic Disease w/ Bob Geho, Founder & CEO, Diasome
Q: What is the significance of zero severe hypoglycemia events in the HDV group?
The absence of severe hypoglycemia in the HDV group during the trial is highly meaningful because severe events drive safety concerns and historically occur with new insulins; this finding supports the physiological targeting approach and could influence FDA considerations.
Targeting the Root Causes of Metabolic Disease w/ Bob Geho, Founder & CEO, Diasome
Q: Why was the maintenance period considered more important than the initial dose-optimization period?
Regulators view the maintenance period as reflecting durable effects in real-world usage, whereas the early period focuses on optimizing dosing; the maintenance period confirmed durable improvements in hypoglycemia and maintained HbA1c parity.
Targeting the Root Causes of Metabolic Disease w/ Bob Geho, Founder & CEO, Diasome
Q: So what was this trial designed to prove, and what did it show?
The trial aimed to prove non-inferiority for HbA1c with the HDV-insulin compared to standard Humalog, while also attempting to show superiority in reducing hypoglycemia; the midpoint showed non-inferiority and the maintenance period demonstrated more robust hypoglycemia reduction.
Why Health Insurance Needs Transparency w/ Ty Wang, Co-Founder & CEO, Angle Health
Q: How does Angle Health access provider networks and discounts as a new entrant in the field?
They partner with provider networks and other payers, leveraging identified member needs to match programs and bring specialty networks and care management that address specific cost drivers.
How AI Could Save a Collapsing Healthcare System w/ Dr. Robert Pearl, Author, "ChatGPT, MD"
Q: Do you see AI replacing clinicians, or changing their roles?
AI will not replace clinicians but will change their roles to be partners with empowered patients, handling routine tasks, and enabling clinicians to focus on high-value care and complex decision-making.
