Inspiring Global Collaboration to Improve Healthcare

In episode 19, we welcomed a globally recognized healthcare innovation ecosystem builder, friend, and industry champion to our podcast studio in Denver, Colorado. Hayley Hovious is the President of the Nashville Healthcare Council, a premier association of health care industry leaders working together to inspire global collaboration to improve healthcare by serving as a catalyst for leadership and innovation. During this episode, we learned from Hayley the origins of how Nashville and Tennessee grew into a healthcare economic leader and how she and others in the community are preparing to embrace and shepherd the innovation revolution that is inevitably coming to the healthcare industry. Additionally, Hayley shared how her previous professional experience has prepared her to lead one of the most important business communities for our country’s largest industry, and why she is more excited than ever for the limitless opportunities that the Nashville and Tennessee ecosystem offers to many of us across the nation. While listening to any of our episodes, please share feedback and ideas for our guest via our guest feedback form link and nominate other passionate pioneers for a future episode via our guest nomination form link. Also, please take a moment to subscribe to the podcast so you will automatically receive episode updates in your podcast player. Before we dive into the episode, I want to thank Hayley for spending time with me during her visit to Denver, another city, and community deeply dedicated to improving the healthcare industry and the health of our nation. Because of Hayley’s relentless pursuit and passion for bridging relationships between industry incumbents and the healthcare innovation community, the health of many lives the industry serves will continue to flourish.

Mike Biselli

After being named 1st Team All PAC-10 and playing in the Rose Bowl with the Stanford Cardinal the following year – all while earning his BA and MA – Mike hung up his football cleats and brought his unwavering determination and collaborative spirit to the field of healthcare.

As a Board Member for Medical Group Management Association, Prime Health, Colorado Bioscience Association, and several other organizations, Mike experienced firsthand the tremendous power a determined community of clinicians, executives, technologists, entrepreneurs, academics, and investors could wield when they work together.

Realizing just how much more could be accomplished if that power were harnessed, Mike developed the industry integrator concept, a new feature of the innovation economy that allows the healthcare industry to be integrated at the point of innovation by physically housing an entire ecosystem in a single location.

In partnership with governmental, non-profit, and commercial organizations, Mike and his team built Catalyst, a 180,000 square foot, first-of-its-kind industry integrator, in Denver’s River North District (RiNo) that houses 60+ health-tech startups, academic institutions, healthcare systems, and Fortune 100s alike in the race to fix healthcare. Catalyst opened its doors in July, 2018.

While Mike continues to be a Catalyst Partner/Owner, his efforts are now focused on his role as Chief Community Officer at BurstIQ. BurstIQ is a HIPAA and GDPR compliant platform creating health profiles for people, places and things, and empowers the interactions between them. The blockchain platform enables health applications and services to incorporate complex data ownership, consent, and monetization … at scale.

The BurstIQ team is creating a deeply connected community of health data anchors and innovators to ignite an international revolution by properly securing, controlling, consenting and monetizing health data.
