Episode Description

"It's not patients or profits, it's better health and healthcare." Gillian Sandler of Northwell Health sets the tone early in this episode, recorded live at Civic Health Forum.

Moderator Sara Holoubek of Luminary Labs sits down with three leaders working at different points in the innovation pipeline, Kevin Chen, MD, MHS (NYC Health + Hospitals), Anaïs Rameau, MD (Weill Cornell Medicine), and Gillian Sandler (Northwell Health), for a conversation on what happens when the people closest to patients are given room to build.

They cover:

  • Why every frontline worker, not just physicians, can be an inventor

  • How eight years of research on vocal biomarkers grew out of a collaboration with ornithologists at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology

  • The real gap between what technology can do and what large health systems can actually deploy

  • Who should pay for innovation in public health, and why it's less about who pays and more about collaboration
