What if the next doctor’s visit comes to you?
On this episode of TechTalk, Dr. Jay Greenstein and Brad Cost sit down with digital health pioneer Charlie Nahabedian, CEO of VK Digital Health, to explore how telehealth, remote diagnostics, wearable sensors, AI, and mobile healthcare technology could reshape the way patients access care.
Charlie shares his journey from Bell Labs and early cellular technology to healthcare innovation, explaining how his experience with telecommunications led him to develop new approaches to telehealth and remote healthcare delivery.
The conversation dives into the challenges facing rural and underserved communities, where transportation and limited access to healthcare can make traditional care difficult. Charlie explains his vision for mobile clinics equipped with diagnostic technology that could bring physical exams and healthcare services directly to patients in their homes, businesses, or community locations.
Dr. Jay and Brad also explore the future of AI in healthcare, wearable sensors, remote patient monitoring, digital diagnostics, healthcare data, and virtual care. The discussion looks beyond today's technology and asks what healthcare could look like over the next 5–10 years.
They also tackle an important question: What happens when we have better diagnostic data but don't improve clinical decision-making? As Dr. Jay points out, technology alone won't transform healthcare if the right information isn't getting to the right provider at the right time.
From AI-powered care management to mobile telehealth clinics and next-generation medical sensors, this conversation offers a fascinating look at where digital healthcare technology is headed next.
