Health care executive Kimberly Smith discusses her article "Why clinicians must lead health care tech innovation." Kimberly explains why clinicians, who are on the front lines of patient care, are in the unique position to solve health care's most complex challenges.

This conversation explores how to bridge the gap between tech developers and frontline staff, ensuring the next wave of health care innovation is built from a clinical lens first. Learn why the future of health tech depends on the invaluable insight of clinical innovators.
