Health Tech Central - Podcast

Welcome to Health Tech Central! I’m Dr. Mehdi Khaled, your host and guide, bringing you insightful, candid, and humorous conversations with the brightest minds in health tech. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked across four continents and countless healthcare systems, forging connections with visionaries and innovators alike. Why did I start this? Simple: I wanted to create a platform where these connections merge into meaningful conversations—both actionable and inspiring. Health Tech Central is here to help you navigate the complexities of healthcare technology, whether you’re a health professional, digital health enthusiast, biotech engineer, government executive, or startup founder. What’s the Purpose? It’s all about community! My goal is to build and nurture communities of practice in health tech—where ideas, strategies, and even mistakes are shared openly, so we can all learn and grow. Together, we’ll explore the tools and lessons needed to drive health and care forward. What Can You Expect? Each 42-ish minute bi-weekly episode is designed to inform and entertain: - Start with a Smile: Every episode begins with a funny, personal story from our guest because even top leaders have relatable moments! - Deep Dive: We then dive into the heart of the topic, asking tough questions and exploring the challenges and opportunities in health tech. - End with Wisdom: We close with practical takeaways—a cheat sheet for your own health tech journey. Failures are part of the process, and we’re here to learn from them! Bonus Fun! At the end of each season, you get to vote on the best anecdote and advice shared.
