Wired for Change is a podcast about the leaders, ideas, and systems shaping our future.
Hosted by Amy Yee, each episode features candid conversations with executives, innovators, policymakers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and changemakers working at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, healthcare, government, defence, and society.
Together, we explore how organizations and nations navigate complexity, build resilience, adopt emerging technologies, and make decisions when the stakes are high. Rather than focusing on technology alone, Wired for Change examines the people, relationship
Healthcare is under enormous pressure. But at the same time, there may be more possibilities for how we create and deliver health than ever before.
In this episode of Wired for Change, Amy Yee is joined by Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng and Dr. Matthew Bromwich for a candid, sometimes provocative and ultimately optimistic conversation about agency, innovation, prevention, technology—and what it really takes to create capacity for change in healthcare.
Kwadwo brings the perspective of an ICU physician and health advocate who has increasingly turned his attention upstream: to prevention, health literacy and helping people take greater agency over their own health.
Matthew brings the perspective of a surgeon and innovator who has spent his career turning problems encountered in clinical practice into new technologies and solutions—and confronting the much harder challenge of getting good ideas adopted and scaled.
Together, they ask: Where does healthcare actually begin? If we designed healthcare today, would we build the same system? Why do proven innovations struggle to spread? What role can AI play in giving patients and clinicians greater agency? And if we already have many of the ideas and tools we need, how do we create the capacity to actually change?
It’s a wide-ranging conversation about moving healthcare forward—not through one enormous transformation, but through better incentives, greater agency, thoughtful innovation and the willingness to act.
