Lucas and Luna explore the rapidly evolving world of digital health, where wearables track vitals, diagnostics shift to at-home testing, and software platforms reshape patient care. Each episode focuses on a specific development: how continuous glucose monitors are changing diabetes management, the FDA's latest clearance for an AI-driven ECG algorithm, or the business models behind telehealth startups like Ro and Hims & Hers. Lucas brings a journalist's precision to the numbers — market sizes, clinical trial results, reimbursement rates — while Luna challenges him on the real-world impact for clinicians and patients. They dissect earnings reports from Apple and Fitbit, parse policy moves from the FDA and CMS, and debate whether VC-funded digital health unicorns can sustain their valuations. Listeners — healthcare professionals, investors, tech strategists — get a clear-eyed briefing on what works, what's hype, and what's next in a sector where staying informed means understanding both the science and the business. How do you separate signal from noise when every startup claims to democratize healthcare? #DigitalHealth #Wearables #HealthTech #Telemedicine #FDA #RemotePatientMonitoring #HealthData #ClinicalTrials #StartupFunding #AppleWatch #Fitbit #ContinuousGlucoseMonitor #AIinHealthcare #VirtualCare #HealthcarePolicy #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

    How Health-Tech Startups Are Using Generative AI for Clinical Notes
    Jun 15 2026
    Lucas and Luna explore how startups like Nabla and Abridge are deploying generative AI to automate clinical documentation, cutting physician note-taking time from hours to minutes. They examine the accuracy trade-offs, the integration challenges with existing EHR systems, and why this technology might actually reduce burnout rather than just add another tool. With specific examples from pilot programs at Nuance and Epic, the hosts discuss whether AI-generated notes can pass the 'chart review' test and how HIPAA compliance is shaping the market. Plus: what it means for patients who want to understand their own records. #GenerativeAI #ClinicalNotes #Nabla #Abridge #Nuance #Epic #EHR #HealthTech #Startups #Burnout #HIPAA #MedicalDocumentation #AIinHealthcare #DigitalHealth #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #FutureOfMedicine Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Continuous Glucose Monitors Are Spreading Beyond Diabetes

    How Continuous Glucose Monitors Are Spreading Beyond Diabetes
    Jun 14 2026
    Lucas and Luna explore how continuous glucose monitors are moving from a niche diabetes tool to a mainstream wellness device for athletes, biohackers, and the general public. They examine the science behind CGMs, the key players like Abbott and Dexcom, the controversy over using them without medical need, and what the data really shows about glucose variability in non-diabetics. Specific focus on the 2024-2025 boom in prescription-free CGM access through companies like Levels and Nutrisense, and the emerging evidence on personalized nutrition responses. The episode also touches on the FDA's evolving stance and the economics of a potential mass market for wearable biosensors. #ContinuousGlucoseMonitor #CGM #WearableTech #DigitalHealth #Diabetes #Biohacking #Abbott #Dexcom #Levels #Nutrisense #GlucoseMonitoring #HealthTech #Wearables #PersonalizedNutrition #FDA #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    How Wearable Data Is Changing Health Insurance Underwriting
    Jun 14 2026
    Episode 50 of The Digital Health Podcast explores how life and health insurers are using data from wearables like smartwatches and fitness trackers to inform underwriting decisions. Lucas and Luna examine the case of John Hancock, which in 2018 became the first major US life insurer to offer interactive policies tied to wearable data through its Vitality program. They discuss how this shift from reactive claims processing to continuous risk monitoring is reshaping the insurance industry, the privacy concerns it raises, and what it means for consumers who choose to share their step counts, sleep scores, and heart rate data for potential premium discounts. The episode also touches on regulatory scrutiny from state insurance commissioners and the growing market for data brokers specializing in health metrics. If you're building or running a business at the intersection of health tech and insurance, this episode offers a concrete look at how one data stream is changing a trillion-dollar industry. #WearableData #HealthInsurance #LifeInsurance #Underwriting #JohnHancock #VitalityProgram #InsuranceTech #DataPrivacy #ConsumerHealth #Smartwatch #FitnessTracker #RiskAssessment #BehavioralInsurance #DigitalHealth #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
