Episode #227. We’re Tracking Everything… But Who’s Protecting Them?, with Sri Bharadwaj, COO and CIO at Longevity Health Plans

Episode #231. Before We Automate Everything… Should We Fix Anything?, with Richard Staynings, Chief Security Strategist at Cylera

Healthcare is entering an AI-powered future, but its security and resilience foundations may not be strong enough to support it. In this episode, Richard Staynings, Chief Security Strategist at Cylera, shares over 30 years of experience in healthcare cybersecurity, spanning roles in industry, academia, and advisory work focused on AI-driven security and risk assessment. He highlights that healthcare is entering a major transformation driven by AI and robotics, but warns that cybersecurity maturity is not keeping pace with technological advancement. While robotic systems are already operating in hospitals today, he emphasizes that true innovation must be paired with safety, resilience, and better infrastructure planning. He also expresses deep concern about the fragility of the healthcare system, noting financial strain, workforce burnout, and systemic underinvestment in both clinical and cyber risk. Tune in to learn what’s really happening behind the scenes of healthcare’s digital transformation and why the risks may be growing faster than the solutions!

Episode #230. No Beds. No Staff. Now What? Healthcare’s Capacity Crisis Is Here, with Robin Roberts, Director of Health IT Regulatory Affairs at PointClickCare

What happens when demand for care outpaces the number of beds and the people available to staff them? In this episode, Robin Roberts, Director of Health IT Regulatory Affairs at PointClickCare, explains how skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) face mounting pressure from rising patient acuity, workforce shortages, and limited bed capacity. She highlights how AI is being embedded into EHR systems to support staff through summarization, workflow augmentation, and improved care transitions. With the aging population driving demand, Robin foresees that care models like “hospital at home” will expand as SNF capacity becomes increasingly constrained. Ultimately, success will depend on equipping care teams with smarter tools and fostering cross-functional collaboration across the healthcare industry. Tune in to hear how AI, evolving care models, and cross-functional collaboration are reshaping the future of skilled nursing!

Episode #227. We’re Tracking Everything… But Who’s Protecting Them?, with Sri Bharadwaj, COO and CIO at Longevity Health Plans

What if the patients with the most data are the ones least able to protect it, or advocate for themselves? In this episode, Sri Bharadwaj, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Information Officer at Longevity Health Plans, explains how Longevity Health uses data analytics and AI to improve care for elderly patients in skilled nursing facilities. By tracking activities of daily living, his team identifies early warning signs and intervenes before conditions worsen, often preventing hospitalizations. He highlights the ethical responsibility to protect sensitive patient data, especially for populations unaware of their rights. To support this model, Longevity Health built a custom EMR and works to strengthen cybersecurity in underfunded care settings.
