Kinetic Innovators Podcast

Dr. Ali Rahimi returns to Kinetic Innovators to talk about ALICA, the app he built at Alyka Health to close the gap between doctor visits. CW and Dr. Rahimi cover how the app pulls in EHR and wearable data, delivers evidence-based education at a 6th grade reading level, and uses gamification to keep patients engaged in managing hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart failure. They also...

Dr. Brian Hill is rebuilding healthcare from the ground up. Nine years after our first conversation on Top Docs Radio, I brought him back on the Kinetic Innovators Podcast to talk about how HIP Nation has evolved from a direct primary care startup in Atlanta into a full healthcare ecosystem that's saving small businesses 10 to 35 percent on premiums compared to traditional insurance. In this e...

Kidneys are a vital organ, but most hospitals still manage them with a gravity-fed catheter invented in 1933 and a blood test that was never designed to be a kidney marker. Todd Dunn, CEO of Accuryn, joins the show to talk about why acute kidney injury is one of the most overlooked patient safety problems in healthcare and how his team is digitizing kidney function at the bedside. Todd spent years...

Heart failure is one of the most complex and costly conditions in American healthcare. More than 6 million people are living with it right now. That number is heading toward 8 million by 2030, and we are spending over $18 billion a year on hospitalizations alone. The drugs are better. The devices are better. And yet the problem keeps growing. In this episode, C.W. Hall sits down with Shawn Kumar,...

Trevor has spent 20+ years in this space, from retained physician recruiting to locum tenens, nurse staffing, MSP/VMS, and full workforce solutions. His core argument: the industry has been operating under a model that creates...

Endometriosis affects about 1 in 10 reproductive-age women and remains a major driver of pelvic pain and infertility. In the U.S., cervical cancer is expected to cause about 13,490 new invasive cases and 4,200 deaths in 2026. Earlier detection matters: cervical screening can catch precancer before it becomes cancer, and localized cervical cancer has a 91.4% 5-year survival versus 19.5% once it is...

Clinicians in fluoroscopy suites face some of the highest chronic radiation exposure in medicine, leading to cataracts, cancer concerns, and serious orthopedic problems from heavy lead. New table‑mounted shielding like Egg Medical’s EggNest changes the game by blocking scatter at its source—around the patient—rather than just armoring the operator. Studies show it can cut scatter to the team by ro...

Scott Becker started his career as a healthcare attorney over 34 years ago. Knowing he needed to build his own practice if he wanted to have some control over his life, he started a digital newsletter for the sectors of healthcare his practice focused on. He overcame the naysayers to build one of the most-respected online sources of healthcare news, and a series of highly-coveted conferences in Be...
