Tech for Impact, Not Hype: Betsabeh Madani-Hermann on AI, Innovation & Healthcare’s Future

AI and robotics are making headlines—but how do we make sure they actually solve real human problems?

In this episode, Betsabeh Madani-Hermann, Global Head of Research at Philips, shares how she’s leading breakthrough innovation in healthcare. We talk about why burnout, access, and clinician shortages are the big issues tech must address, how Philips balances moonshot projects with fast, tangible wins, and why discipline and focus matter more than ever in a world chasing shiny tech.

If you’ve ever wondered how big companies innovate like startups—or how to prioritize in a world of infinite possibilities—this episode is packed with insight.
