Another Podcast? - Really?

THE BACKSTORY

Over the past 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of working and living across four continents, navigating diverse healthcare systems and the evolving corporate tech landscape. Along the way, I’ve connected with visionaries and innovators who are disrupting health and care. This journey inspired me to create a platform where these connections could be transformed into meaningful conversations—conversations that spark actionable insights.

Health Tech Central is designed to unbox the vast 80% of tacit knowledge* (including missteps) shared openly, so we can collectively learn and grow.

* The stuff we all hold in our heads

THE CONCEPT

Because '42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything’, our bi-weekly 42-minute episodes promise to deliver undocumented knowledge, carefully crafted to both inform and entertain:

1. Start with a Smile: We kick off with a funny, personal story from our guest. Because, let’s face it, even the top leaders have relatable moments!
2. Deep Dive: Then we get into the nitty-gritty, asking tough questions that dig into the challenges, insights and opportunities in health tech.
3. End with Wisdom: Finally, we wrap up with practical takeaways. Think of it as a cheat sheet for your own health tech journey—what works, what doesn’t, and why learning from failures is the golden trove no one talks about!

Bonus Fun! At the end of each season, you get to vote on the best anecdote and the most valuable piece of advice shared on the show. Because who doesn’t love a little competition?

Hitchhike the Movement! Health Tech Central is your ticket to entertaining inspiration, expert knowledge, and a network that can help you make a real impact in the world of health tech.

YOUR HOST

Mehdi Khaled

I'm a Global Citizen, a Medical Doctor and a Tech Strategist. Over the past two decades, my journey has sharpened my understanding of market dynamics and cultural nuances. This helps better appreciate local challenges and find meaningful paths for impact within the various health and care ecosystems. In short, my journey honed my ability to spot real value from BS in the global health tech circus. This podcast is my way of harnessing and amplifying that impact, sharing it with a wider audience.

Each year, I make it a point to challenge myself by diving into something completely outside my comfort zone. The idea for this podcast has been simmering for a long time, and though it's an entirely new realm for me, I've finally done my homework and decided to take the leap.

I speak Arabic, French, English, German, Italian, and Spanish fluently and I’m a restless dude. So if I’m not sailing across an ocean, you’ll find me mountain-biking, trail running or experimenting with fusion cuisine.

I'm hoping this podcast adds value to your journey as much as I'm hoping for you to enrich it with your candid feedback!
