0:00Peter Birch: Have you ever heard a term in digital health and just quietly had to Google it later? The Talking Health Tech glossary has got you covered. We've got hundreds of terms in plain English explanations, written for our industry, and all free to use. You don't even have to sign up for anything. Just go to talkinghealthtech.com slash glossary. Welcome to Talking Health Tech, featuring content and conversations about technology and healthcare. My name is Peter Birch and I bring you conversations with key decision makers and influencers from some of the brightest minds in healthcare innovation around the world.

0:33Through our podcast and our weekly newsletter, our social media platforms and our comprehensive glossary of digital health terms. Then we have our THT Plus community, which is our safe space on the internet where the doers, the builders and the passionate people in health tech come together to learn, connect and grow. Members get access to our community platform, online meetups, exclusive content and insights, plus discounts, partner offers, and other member-only benefits. Talking Health Tech is powered by our media company, THT Productions, which is home to our network of other healthcare-related podcasts.

1:08And we help organizations tell stories that inspire change and spark innovation in healthcare through high quality video production services to create customer testimonials, product showcases, workflow explainers, and even documentaries. A bit about me personally, I've always worked in healthcare in operations and business, from running GP clinics and managing global medical assistance centres to being the first hire at different health tech startups, helping them go from concept to commercialisation. So I've definitely had my fair share of time on the frontline, but I'm also on the boards of key industry groups and health tech startups, using my extensive industry experience to provide some pretty unique guidance and advisory services.

1:53I'm big on having real conversations, tackling actual problems, and showcasing what good looks like so that others can be inspired to build solutions that improve patient outcomes and system efficiency.
