episode Healthcare Innovation, Venture Capital, and AI at Plug and Play with Osama Alsaleh cover

Description

What does it actually take to move a healthcare idea from a pitch deck to the bedside? In this episode, I sit down with Osama Alsaleh, Head of Partnerships at Plug and Play Health, to unpack how one of the world's most active innovation platforms decides which startups to back and how AI is reshaping the way care gets delivered. We get into what separates hype from real clinical value, how venture capital is flowing into health tech right now, and where Osama sees the biggest opportunities (and the biggest blind spots) for founders building in this space. If you're curious about the engine behind healthcare innovation, this one's for you.

Dr. Natalia Chalmers: AI in Dentistry, Oral Health Policy, and Why the Mouth Is Part of the Body

Dr. Natalia Chalmers has seen the dental system from every side: FDA dental officer, first-ever Chief Dental Officer at CMS, and now Head of Clinical Innovation at Overjet, the world's largest dental AI company. She's also a pediatric dentist and the 2025 Pediatric Dentist of the Year. In this episode, we discuss the tragedy that changed her career, how the right data in front of the right legislators won dental coverage for 800,000 adults in Maryland, and what FDA-cleared AI is actually doing in the dental chair today. We break down how the technology works, why the provider always owns the diagnosis, the role of AI in preauthorization battles between providers and payers, and her vision for a common language between dentistry and medicine. Whether you're a clinician, a policy nerd, or just someone who's ever gotten two different opinions from two different dentists, this one's for you.
