Managing diabetes with cultural foods

The healthcare industry is preparing for significant regulatory change in the latter half of 2025, and much of the conversation on the first quarter earnings calls was about setting the tone for those complications. Tariffs, Medicaid cuts and the likely end of the enhanced ACA subsidies all have major implications for payers and providers, and industry behemoth UnitedHealth Group is headlining those trends with an unusual miss and the departure of its CEO, Andrew Witty.

This week on "Podnosis," Associate Editor Dave Muoio and Senior Writer Paige Minemyer sit down to take a look back at the first quarter earnings season and forecast what’s ahead for these industries.

AI scribes have seen rapid growth in the healthcare market over the past year, but reliable data on their actual performance is still hard to come by. Much of the available information comes from vendor claims, leaving a gap in independent, real-world assessments.

In this episode of "Podnosis," Fierce Healthcare's Emma Beavins sits down with Caroline Pearson, executive director of the Peterson Health Technology Institute, which recently released one of the first reports examining how AI scribes impact provider burnout, after-hours work, and their return on investment.

The rise of AI scribes: What’s the real-world impact?

Human-centered design is crucial in healthcare—but it’s often invisible. Rooted in systems thinking, it considers the broader ecosystems that shape patient needs.

Design can make or break a patient’s experience. Yet many organizations don’t fully understand what this approach involves or how to implement it effectively.

CannonDesign works across sectors, including healthcare, to help organizations design smarter. Senior Writer Anastassia Gliadkovskaya speaks with Abbie Clary, principal and co-director of CannonDesign’s global health practice, about the firm’s design philosophy, its importance to health equity and how healthcare organizations’ approach to design is evolving.
