Laura Hilty has spent over 18 years working to improve the healthcare ecosystem, over 14 years of that in clinical research. She has held leadership roles spanning corporate strategy, M&A, product strategy, product management, and partnerships across stages from company start-up to scale, through Forte / Advarra and Epic.
In this short discussion recorded at the Digital Health and AI Innovation Summit in Boston 2024, she explained a few tips companies can use to improve their product development.
Key points:
Collaboration and Deep Understanding: Startups must dive deep into understanding problems by engaging in extensive collaboration and interviewing diverse stakeholders. Conducting numerous conversations helps reveal recurring themes and deeper insights.
Validation with Customers: Before advancing with a solution, startups should validate it with potential customers, ensuring they are willing to buy and clarifying how it fits into their workflows seamlessly.
Active Listening and Detachment: Companies need to listen not just to respond but to truly understand customer pain points. This involves detaching from pre-conceived solutions and being open to honest, even critical, feedback.
Balancing Customer Focus and Market Trends: While it’s crucial to address customer needs, startups must also maintain an external view to identify broader market trends and potential disruptions, avoiding tunnel vision on current customers.
Learning from Failure: Product failure often stems from underestimating customer differences or lack of scalability. Proactively engaging with diverse customer types before development can prevent such issues.
Challenges in Gathering Feedback: Many startups struggle to gather adequate feedback due to customer reluctance or limited outreach. Live conversations are more effective than surveys, and clarifying that feedback isn't tied to sales can improve engagement.
Market Opportunities in Healthcare: There are unmet needs in system integration and leveraging research-naive physicians for clinical trials. Addressing these gaps, especially through innovation and collaboration, could significantly advance the industry.

This short discussion with Rachel Dunscombe, CEO of openEHR International Foundation, was recorded in Reading at the first openEHR Annual conference. Rachel Dunscombe discussed trends in data standards and the importance of structured data for the future development of AI.
Recap of the discussion:
Historical Context and Progress in Data Standards:
Thirty years ago, the "Good European Healthcare Record" initiative aimed to create a standardized European healthcare record. How does it relate to EHDS and efforts for single patient records on European level.
Unlike the past, today's digital landscape and AI advancements underscore the importance of standardized, actionable data for remote care and patient self-management.
Collaboration Among Standards Bodies:
Recent years have seen increased cooperation among standards organizations like FHIR, OpenEHR, and SNOMED, with a focus on complementing rather than duplicating efforts.
Standards bodies are now defining clearer roles and working together toward a unified goal of improving healthcare outcomes.
Need for Practical Implementation and Governance:
Effective implementation of standards requires practical guides for healthcare systems, developed collaboratively by standards bodies.
Open, democratic communities with strong governance are essential to ensure diverse input and practical guidance for using standards effectively.
AI and Data Quality:
Good data quality is foundational for effective AI in healthcare; without it, AI solutions cannot achieve optimal results.
Standards are crucial for creating "trustworthy" AI and have been discussed at forums like the United Nations, emphasizing the need for global alignment on data standards.
Future Goals and Global Standards:
Continued development of clear, internationally recognized standards will support interoperability and innovation in healthcare, including AI-driven solutions.
Guidelines from standards bodies are anticipated to help healthcare systems apply data standards cohesively for population health benefits.

In this episode of The TRU Leader podcast, hosts Michelle and Tracy discuss the pervasive nature of stress in leadership and its impact on well-being. The episode delves into the general adaptation syndrome, which outlines the body’s response to prolonged stress in three stages—alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. They explore stress management strategies to prevent burnout, drawing from Michelle’s personal experience with stress-induced vision problems. The conversation highlights the concept of "microstressors," subtle but persistent stress factors that can accumulate and lead to significant emotional tolls. Citing research by Rob Cross and Karen Dillon, they emphasize that high achievers often face unique stressors, such as managing both work and family responsibilities.
The hosts challenge common leadership norms that create undue pressure, such as the need for certainty and avoidance of vulnerability, and propose healthier leadership practices. They introduce a stress continuum model to help leaders gauge their stress levels, along with having a polarity mindset to balance competing values like self-care and caring for others. Leadership is likened to a marathon, requiring both endurance and recovery. The episode also encourages proactive strategies like open communication, prioritization, and mindfulness.
To further discuss these themes, listeners are encouraged to join our FREE webinar titled “From Stress to Success: The Formula for Leaders to Excel Professionally and Personally” which offering tools to help leaders thrive both professionally and personally. Register here.

In this discussion, strategist, and applied health futurist Zayna Khayat explores the evolution of healthcare, particularly the shift towards home-based care and patient empowerment. Key themes include:
Language in Healthcare: Khayat stresses the need for a language shift to change mindsets in healthcare, highlighting that words shape reality. She proposes retiring overused terms like “innovation,” “patient-centered,” and “telemedicine,” advocating instead for more precise language that reflects modern, patient-empowering approaches.
Technology in Care Delivery: Khayat is excited about how AI and virtual reality (VR) are transforming healthcare. She sees AI as instrumental in reducing clinician workload by handling repetitive cognitive tasks, while VR is proving beneficial in medical training and therapies like pain and anxiety management.
Shift to Home and Virtual Care: Drawing on her experience in home-based chemotherapy, Khayat discusses the challenges of moving healthcare out of hospitals, from reimbursement to infrastructure limitations. She emphasizes that many patients would prefer home care if given the choice, but practical barriers like resource availability and payment models persist.
Diverse Aging Models: Khayat challenges the idea of care homes as a one-size-fits-all solution, advocating for diverse models tailored to individual preferences and cultural values. She highlights that community-based models, like those in Denmark and Japan, provide alternatives to institutional care, supporting aging in place.
Value-Based Care and Accountability: Khayat encourages healthcare organizations to focus on results rather than processes. She advocates for outcome-based payment models, where organizations are compensated for results, pushing them to prioritize patient outcomes. This approach, she argues, would foster a value-driven healthcare system.

This week on The TRU Leader Podcast, we're joined by Cathy Carroll, author and a third-generation leader in her family's business. Cathy shares her journey and insights from her book *Hug of War: How to Lead a Family Business with Both Love and Logic*. After two decades in corporate roles, Cathy returned to the family business, encountering tensions between her profit-driven approach and her father’s investment-focused mindset. The narrative explores the complexities of managing familial relationships alongside business operations, particularly during generational transitions that often lead to conflict due to differing values. Non-family executives also face challenges, exemplified by a COO who felt demoted because of family-driven decisions. Emotional intelligence is highlighted as key to balancing personal relationships and professional responsibilities.
Cathy underscores the importance of understanding family dynamics, balancing long-term goals with adaptability, and navigating polarities like tradition and innovation. Governance and succession planning in family businesses require unique approaches, balancing set criteria with flexibility for unexpected talent. Polarity thinking is introduced as a method for managing conflicts by holding opposing truths simultaneously, such as investment and profit harvesting and privileges and responsibilities. Cathy emphasizes that recognizing these polarities and differing perspectives is essential for improving the overall functioning of family-owned businesses, particularly during leadership transitions.
