On this episode of Champions of Care, a Champion Chair podcast and your leading source for industry-leading insights and thought leadership about medical seating and more, BSA LifeStructures’ Jen Worley and Karen Tobin joined host Daniel Litwin to outline how access to more informative and actionable data has elevated the way healthcare design promotes healing, learning and discovery.

BSA LifeStructures focuses on integrating data into the design process, helping designers craft progressive and sustainable structures that help designers achieve those core goals.

“Our mission has always been to partner with our clients and be a national leader in healing, learning and discovery, with the ultimate goal to improve lives,” Worley said. “We’re really excited about continuing that mission and being a part of this generation going forward.”

In today’s world, that means helping designers navigate the ever-growing world of technological innovation and the overwhelming amount of data those innovations produce to craft the right space for the right purpose.

To identify the relevant metrics per project, BSA LifeStructures looks to each market, in this case healthcare, to create a set of metrics that matter, or central metrics that can guide design. Then, for each project, more specific metrics can be selected in additional sessions.

In the realm of treatment spaces for oncology, biologics, and other infusion treatments, Worley and Tobin said there are some “givens” for these environments, such as infection control, ease of cleaning, and more. From there, specific environments and goals can help inform the specification of all of the medical seating.

AdvaMed approves voluntary data access best practices for medtech companies and health systems

AdvaMed approves voluntary data access best practices for medtech companies and health systems

AdvaMed's Digital Health Tech board approved voluntary Data Access Principles & Best Practices, announced October 28, setting four principles for how medtech companies and U.S. health systems share data.

  • 01The framework covers data vendors need to implement, monitor and improve technology, with expectations for transparency, stewardship and de-identification.
  • 02Watch for the first RFPs, security questionnaires or data use agreements that cite the principles by name; a voluntary document gains weight only when buyers adopt it.

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

According to Bluesight, nearly 500 hospitals track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems. Checks of dispensing cabinets have been missing that RFID-tracked supply. Gilman argues that bringing RFID data in next to cabinet data gives more complete usage rates and days-on-hand calculations, though the gain could depend on whether systems connect at the transaction level.

  • 01During a shortage, a count that stops at the dispensing cabinet can misstate both stock on hand and usage rate, creating a false sense of urgency and wasteful emergency purchases.
  • 02RFID is no longer limited to kit and tray management: nearly 500 hospitals already track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems.
  • 03For operators weighing a merged feed, the key question could be whether RFID usage flows into the days-on-hand calculation at the transaction level or sits beside cabinet data as a static count.

New York City digital health startups raised $1.9 billion in Q3, up 36%

New York City digital health startups raised $1.9 billion in Q3, up 36%

New York City digital health startups raised $1.9 billion in Q3 2026, up 36% year over year. Nationally, Rock Health counted $3.7 billion raised by U.S. digital health startups across 114 deals in the quarter. Bigger checks and steady acquisitions mean buyers must assess which vendors are pulling ahead—and which may change owners mid-rollout.

  • 01New York's digital health startups grew Q3 funding 36% year over year, while U.S. digital health startups raised $3.7 billion across 114 deals in Q3, according to Rock Health.
  • 02Average U.S. digital health deal size has climbed from $20.6 million in 2024 to $31.0 million so far in 2026, so more of the money is going into bigger rounds.
  • 03Most ownership changes are happening through M&A, with 164 deals through Q3 2026 and no new public listings since August 2025. That makes vendor change-of-ownership a live contract concern for buyers.
