   Blood Pressure From a Phone Camera in 30 Seconds | Przemek Jaworski

   What if the camera already on your patient's phone could take their vitals? Przemek Jaworski is co-founder and CTO of Shen AI. Their camera-based engine reads heart rate, HRV, breathing rate and blood pressure from 30 seconds of looking into a lens - now CE-certified as a medical device in Europe. Before that, Przemek built 3D printers sold to SpaceX and Apple. He joins Jakub Grajcar to explain how it works in plain language, what it means for remote monitoring, and where AI goes once it can read how a person feels. 🏥 Przemek's #1 tip for growing a practice - find where patients hit friction with you, and make that step quick and easy 🩸 How a camera sees your pulse through the translucency of your skin 🎯 The second heartbeat signal almost no competitor uses, and what it adds to the reading 💡 What a good 30-second reading needs - light that isn't behind the person, very little movement, and a clear view of the face 📱 Why remote monitoring gets easier when the device is the patient's own phone 🤖 What's next for AI agents once they can read how a person feels 🔥 Przemek's way out of burnout - alternate hard focus with real time away, and trust your team with tougher responsibilities 🚗 Where this could go next - passive checks while you drive or work, flagging overfocus and eye strain before you notice them Resources mentioned: 👤 Guest: Przemek Jaworski - Co-founder & CTO, Shen AI LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jawor/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jawor/) Website: https://shen.ai (https://shen.ai) 🩺 Try Shen AI yourself Web demo (works on a laptop camera): https://demo.shen.ai (https://demo.shen.ai) Heart Monitor app - Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.mxlabs.heartmonitor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.mxlabs.heartmonitor) 🎥 See how Talkie.ai works - AI medical receptionist demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOiJ3ITTrLY&list=PLLjcCBHYN2KoBqm-Dx-8lIwWLuU-CHXSg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOiJ3ITTrLY&list=PLLjcCBHYN2KoBqm-Dx-8lIwWLuU-CHXSg)

   What to Do When a Team Member Loses Someone | Kelly Edmondson

   "Bereavement leave ends. Bereavement doesn't." Everyone shows up for the funeral, then goes back to living - and that is the week your team member comes back to work. Kelly Edmondson is a nurse executive with 25 years in healthcare and a certified grief counselor. After losing her son in 2023, she founded Timely Presence, which sends a year of gifts timed to the dates that land hardest - the birthday, the anniversary, the first Mother's Day. She joins Jakub Grajcar on how a practice can support its own people, and a patient's family, through a loss. We dig into: 🏥 Kelly's #1 tip for growing a practice - solve a real problem, and stop trading the two minutes of human connection for the next appointment 🕯️ Why grief doesn't start at the notification - people surround you, then they go back to living, and that is when grief actually arrives 🧭 Grief beyond death - a divorce, a lost role, a pet, a limb - and how to respond to them 📉 The number that surprises employers most - over half of people leave their job within a year of a significant loss 🔁 The three R's - regulate your own emotions first, respond by doing something concrete, then remain long after everyone else has moved on 💬 What to actually say: ""I don't know what to say, but I'm here."" Grief is not fixable, so stop trying to fix it ⚖️ Flexibility without ambiguity - name which duties shift and which they still own, then check it's working for the person and the practice ✉️ How a practice can support a patient's grieving family Resources mentioned: 👤 Guest: Kelly Edmondson, MSN, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, CGC - Founder & CEO, Timely Presence LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-edmondson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-edmondson) Website: https://thetimelypresence.com (https://thetimelypresence.com) 📱 Timely Presence on social media Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetimelypresence (https://www.instagram.com/thetimelypresence) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimelyPresence (https://www.facebook.com/TimelyPresence) 🧭 Framework The Presence Framework - Kelly's three R's: regulate, respond, remain 🎥 See how Talkie.ai works - AI medical receptionist demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOiJ3ITTrLY&list=PLLjcCBHYN2KoBqm-Dx-8lIwWLuU-CHXSg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOiJ3ITTrLY&list=PLLjcCBHYN2KoBqm-Dx-8lIwWLuU-CHXSg)

   From 1 Physician to 150: How Practices Actually Scale | Alejandro Fernandez

   A real practice should survive two weeks with the owner gone. If it can't, you don't own a business - you own a job. Alejandro "Alex" Fernandez has spent more than 30 years in physician practice management, front desk to boardroom. He ran multi-specialty groups as large as 150 physicians and was founding CEO of Gastro Health, the first private-equity-backed gastroenterology platform to sell. He now runs Synergy Orthopedic Specialists in San Diego. He joins Jakub Grajcar on how practices actually scale - and what buyers see before they offer. We dig into: 🏥 Alex's #1 tip for growing a practice - if it can't run for two weeks without you, you own a job, not a business 🪑 Why patient experience is the most neglected part of a practice, and what a twelve-page clipboard tells a new patient 📊 What to get right before you grow - your numbers, your billing, and the habit of pulling every dollar out of the business 💉 How to keep the revenue you're currently referring out - path labs, lasers, aesthetics, a shared PA, and the ROI math behind each 🤝 Merging vs. buying another practice - why a merger of equals is the harder move, and where those conversations break down 🚩 What physician alignment actually means, and what happens to a group when five owners have five different plans 💼 What buyers see when they look at your practice - and why two groups earning the same money don't sell for the same price Resources mentioned: 👤 Guest: Alejandro "Alex" Fernandez, MBA, CMPE - CEO, Synergy Orthopedic Specialists LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexfernandezmba/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexfernandezmba/%20) Website: https://synergysmg.com (https://synergysmg.com) 🏢 Organizations Gastro Health - first private-equity-backed gastroenterology platform; Alex was founding CEO: https://gastrohealth.com (https://gastrohealth.com) 📚 Books Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business - Gino Wickman 🎬 Off-topic but mentioned The Odyssey - Jakub's unsponsored movie recommendation 🎥 See how Talkie.ai works - AI medical receptionist demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOiJ3ITTrLY&list=PLLjcCBHYN2KoBqm-Dx-8lIwWLuU-CHXSg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOiJ3ITTrLY&list=PLLjcCBHYN2KoBqm-Dx-8lIwWLuU-CHXSg)

The Marketing Strategy Framework Most Practices Skip | Saul Marquez

Published 2 Jul 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So we got to make sure that that alignment is built in a way that aggregates and doesn't separate. I think that's great. Both of those points on the subject of incentives, did you see or have you seen any interesting models to implement for that? Or what do you think is a good incentive model then that everybody focuses on winning? Yeah, I mean, if you're looking to drive a particular thing, let's just say it could be something as simple as call volumes, right? For the sake of talking, right? Sure. Hey, are we having the conversations that should be had? Are we leveraging our people in a way that helps them work at the top of their license, as we like to say in healthcare? […]
