Why We Show Up for Care
Episode 4 of The Future of Patient Monitoring takes a step back from infrastructure and innovation to explore something deeper: the people behind the technology—and what they’ve learned through years of building smarter systems. Part of the Health and Life Sciences at the Edge podcast series, this conversation is led by Intel’s Kaeli Tully, who’s joined by Dr. Sanjay Subramanian, Critical Care Physician and CEO/Founder of Omnicure, Bikram Day, Director of Informatics at Medical Informatics Corp., and Andrew Lamkin, Health and Life Sciences Solutions Architect at Intel.
Each guest brings a unique origin story to the space. “As they say, this is that intersection of what’s great to do and what’s wanted by society,” says Day, who’s been connecting devices since childhood. Subramanian emphasizes the clinician’s lens, noting, “There’s always a need to make technology work best for clinicians… not all have the bandwidth or training to take that leap, but it’s impactful if you do.” Lamkin adds, “Healthcare is so much more challenging in so many ways than aerospace. It’s such a tough environment to introduce technology into thoughtfully.”
The episode also dives into standout projects, like the National Emergency Critical Care Network (NET-CCN), which connected patients to critical care physicians nationwide during COVID-19 using only smartphones. From early EMR integrations to scalable AI applications, each guest shares what they’ve learned about moving from data to decisions.
“Interoperability, modularity, infrastructure planning—all those things pay long-term dividends,” says Lamkin. Meanwhile, Day looks to what’s next: “If we can store and correlate data, those insights become valuable. AI can literally build the chain of events and causality.”
Ultimately, the conversation is a powerful reminder that healthcare innovation is a human journey—and the smartest systems are the ones designed to support real people, every step of the way.
