Episode Description

September 23, 2026: Christian Boucher (Healthcare CTO, Island) sits down with Sarah Richardson. He came into healthcare because his wife is a nurse. He watched clinical systems move to the browser while security got bolted on around them, and the workflows broke. One customer said they had 25 AI tools locked down. Island looked at every browser in the shop. 250. A remote clinical analyst team was waiting a minute to reach a usable EHR. On Island: 20 seconds.
