📣 Digital Health Download: November 2026

Episode Description

Hello November! AI is getting smarter, healthcare is getting more expensive, and the plot keeps thickening.

In this month's Digital Health Download, Steve and Michael break down the month's biggest healthcare headlines, including surprising new evidence about the cost of clinical AI, a White House initiative for women's health, and proposed Medicare reimbursement changes that have digital health entrepreneurs on edge.

We cover:

  • Why AI-generated care recommendations could drive healthcare costs higher instead of lower
  • What's behind Trump's new women's health initiative and whether it will deliver meaningful progress
  • How personal AI agents could change the way patients book appointments, access care, and fight insurance bills
  • Why employer health insurance costs are rising faster than wages, and what might finally force reform
  • Why American cancer patients are traveling to China for treatment and what it signals about the global biotech race
  • How proposed Medicare reimbursement changes could threaten remote patient monitoring and chronic care management startups
