Ep 51: AI Can’t Fix Virtual Care’s 70% Lab Problem
Virtual care is scaling. AI is everywhere. But when lab completion falls from ~70% in-clinic to ~30% in virtual care, the whole model breaks. Virtual Care Without Labs Is Just Zoom - Even with AI. In this Boombostic Health in the Wild episode from HLTH 2025, Bradley Bostic sits down with Maitham Dib, founder of Junction, to unpack the "real" bottleneck: turning lab orders into lab results. They dig into how Junction: * White-labels lab infrastructure so any virtual or hybrid care model can deploy labs across all 50 states * Uses data from ~3.4 million lab tests annually to model what actually drives lab completion * Dynamically routes patients across PSC visits, at-home kits, and at-home phlebotomy - based on real-world behavior * Plugs into telehealth and AI agents that still need working diagnostic rails to be useful Chapters 00:00 – Lab in the basement, but core to care 02:00 – 70% in-clinic vs. ~30% virtual: the lab completion cliff 03:30 – Junction’s white-label “Amazon-style” lab experience 06:30 – Three modalities: PSC, at-home kits, at-home phlebotomy 08:20 – “Where is the software actually?” Models on 3.4M lab tests 09:40 – Doctors, AI agents, and the diagnostic infrastructure layer 11:00 – Telehealth, pharma, and diagnostics as a new access door 12:40 – Business model: a new cost in a system that hates new costs Key Takeaways * Virtual care without completed labs is just Zoom. When fulfillment drops from ~70% in-clinic to ~30% in virtual, diagnosis and revenue leak out. * The real AI bottleneck is diagnostics.Agents and navigation tools only work if they can talk to lab infrastructure that actually gets tests done. * Infrastructure beats slogans.White-labeled, data-driven lab rails that convert orders to results are where virtual care and AI either succeed—or quietly fail. #boombostichealth #virtualcare #telehealth #digitalhealth #digitalhealthcare #healthcareinnovation #aiinhealthcare #patientcare #valuebasedcare #healthcare

Ep 50: 95% of Care From Home: The Virtual Model Changing Healthcare

Ep 50: 95% of Care From Home: The Virtual Model Changing Healthcare
Virtual care isn’t a feature. It’s the future care model nobody in healthcare wants to admit is already here. At HLTH 2025, we sat down with Michael Dalton, CEO and founder of Ovatient, to unpack the real story behind why rural and urban patients alike are falling through the cracks and how Ovatient built the first truly integrated virtual multi-specialty practice on Epic. This conversation exposes three uncomfortable truths in healthcare: Access is still broken. Millions delay care because transportation, work schedules, stigma, or geography get in the way. Telemedicine wasn’t enough. Single-visit, transactional virtual care doesn't build trusted relationships, close care gaps, or keep patients inside a system of care. Health systems are missing billions in preventable leakage. Ovatient’s “digital health home” model quietly fixes that. Dalton breaks down why: • A virtual-first care model that’s integrated directly into Epic makes specialists accessible within hours, not months • 95% of patients can be supported at home while still remaining inside their health system • Weight management, behavioral health, primary care, and specialty care all operate seamlessly across one unified patient journey • Virtual care isn’t cannibalizing brick-and-mortar — it’s expanding the funnel If you care about access, equity, referral management, or the economics of keeping patients connected to a system of care… this episode will challenge everything you think you know about “telemedicine.” Ovatient isn’t building a digital front door. They’re building the digital health home. And it’s changing the game. 🎧 Listen now and rethink everything you thought “virtual care” meant.

Ep 42: MedTechs's 10X Advantage - How Real-World Data Expands Device Impact
Summary Pre-market clinical trials are essential — but they don’t reflect how devices truly perform once they’re in the real world. In this episode of Boombostic Health, host Bradley Bostic sits down with Dr. Amelia Hufford, Co-Founder and SVP of Clinical and Regulatory Science at 3Aware, to unpack why real-world data (RWD) is critical to the survival of medical devices — and why mindset, not science, may be the biggest barrier holding MedTech back. Amelia shares her 20+ year journey in scientific and clinical research, including a decade in MedTech leading regulatory and clinical affairs. She explains how RWD fills the gaps left by clinical trials, supports post-market surveillance, uncovers off-label use, and even opens the door to label expansion — giving manufacturers faster, less costly ways to prove safety and effectiveness. The conversation dives into the risks of ignoring RWD, the opportunities it creates for innovation and revenue, and how this shift could save one-third of devices currently at risk of disappearing from the market. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why pre-market clinical trials don’t fully reflect everyday device usage. How real-world data provides insights into broader and more diverse patient populations. Why manufacturers fear off-label data — and how it can actually unlock new markets. The importance of treating RWD studies with the same rigor as traditional clinical research. How RWD can accelerate innovation, improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and support regulatory compliance. Why It Matters Without embracing real-world data, the MedTech industry risks losing critical devices — some of which save lives in high-stakes scenarios. By shifting mindset and using RWD with scientific rigor, manufacturers can not only ensure patient safety but also unlock growth opportunities, accelerate label expansion, and meet regulatory demands more efficiently.

Ep 41: From 18% to 80%: The Pregnancy Risk America Ignores
Why is giving birth in the United States still so risky—especially for Black and Native American mothers? In this powerful episode of Boombostic Health, host Bradley Bostic sits down with Tiffany Hall, a nurse and maternal health expert who has spent decades on the frontlines of patient care and blood management. Tiffany exposes the hidden pregnancy risk no one is talking about: anemia. Drawing from both clinical experience and hc1’s MyBloodHealth technology, Tiffany explains how anemia silently drives up rates of hemorrhage, heart complications, postpartum depression, and even maternal death. And while anemia is often missed in early pregnancy (18% of women in the 1st trimester), it skyrockets to 80% by the 3rd trimester—when it’s far harder to manage. The conversation also dives into the stark racial disparities in maternal outcomes: Black and Native mothers die at a rate of 49.5 per 100,000 births, compared to 19 per 100,000 for white mothers. Tiffany unpacks how fragmented care, lack of early screening, and systemic inequities continue to put mothers and babies at risk—despite being preventable. But it’s not all grim. Tiffany also shares how HerCare powered by MyBloodHealth is giving providers the tools to proactively identify risk, streamline workflows, and deliver better outcomes for both moms and babies. Guest: Tiffany Hall, Nurse and Director of cPBM Clinical Technology at hc1 What You’ll Learn in This Episode 📊 The shocking stats: anemia’s rise from 18% in the 1st trimester to 80% by the 3rd ⚠️ How anemia fuels hemorrhage, cardiovascular problems, and postpartum depression ✊ Why Black and Native mothers face mortality rates more than 2X higher than white mothers 🧪 How lab-driven insights can flip care from reactive to proactive 💡 How HerCare simplifies provider workflows and closes dangerous gaps in maternal care Why It Matters Every statistic in this episode represents mothers, babies, and families forever changed. Tiffany’s message is clear: maternal deaths and injuries in the U.S. are preventable—but only if we address hidden risks early and make proactive care the standard.
