Episode Description

Pour yourself a cup, because this one is full of insider insight! On HITea With Grace, where we spill the tea on HIT, Grace sits down with Yvonne Bokelman, Executive Director and Advisory Board Co-Chair of MedtechWOMEN.

Yvonne has seen healthcare from just about every angle: hospital administration, health IT, consulting, global leadership at Medtronic and Zimmer Biomet, and startup CEO at Alyve Medical. She shares what each role taught her and what surprised her most about trading a big company for a startup.

We also get the scoop from MedtechVISION 2026 and its theme, "The Breakthrough Imperative: Winning in an Ever-Changing Landscape," including:

  • The biggest pressure on medtech leaders right now: AI, reimbursement or capital discipline
  • Where AI is helping patients, and where the hype is getting ahead of reality
  • What sets apart the companies that are still getting funded
  • The biggest opportunities for women leaders in medtech

Plus, Yvonne previews what's next for MedtechWOMEN and MedtechVISION 2027, shares her advice for women in healthcare and health IT, and tells us all about her tea and the story behind her mug!
