As healthcare continues to evolve, the importance of technology grows. Amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic and an increased focus on patient-centric care, healthcare professionals are grappling with the challenge of integrating advanced tech solutions while maintaining a human touch. A staggering statistic underscores this urgency: over 70% of healthcare providers have now adopted telehealth, a dramatic leap from pre-pandemic levels.

What does this tech evolution mean for the future of patient care? How are healthcare professionals balancing high-tech tools with human-centered care? These are the core questions explored in the latest episode of the "Healthcare Rethink Podcast," hosted by Brian Urban.
