For bariatric surgery programs, the clinical procedure itself is often the most predictable part of the patient experience. What’s far more complex – and far more fragile – is everything that happens before a patient ever reaches the operating room.

In this special solo episode, hosts Joshua Liu, MD and Alan look back on their trip to Chicago for Becker's 2026 Annual IT + RCM Conference. They share the week's adventures, their first in-person Digital Patient meetup, and their own experiments with AI agents. They also go through standout ideas from speakers at Ochsner, Rush, Northwestern and more: why a human in the loop isn't enough, the burnout risk of practicing at the top of your license, why pilots don't automatically scale, why healthcare needs to get better at turning technology off, and more...

On this episode of The Digital Patient, Joshua Liu, MD, Co-founder & CEO of SeamlessMD, and colleague, Alan Sardana, chat with Anna Schoenbaum, DNP, RN, NI‑BC, Vice President and Chief Digital Applications Officer at Penn Medicine, about "What Happens When Nurses Start Charting Out Loud for AI, The 3-Tier Rule for When AI Needs a Human in the Loop, Why More Communication Won't Fix AI Adoption, and more..."

Remote monitoring solutions certainly disrupt traditional healthcare delivery, but as evidenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, they provide an effective replacement for in-person interaction between patients and healthcare providers.

In this episode of the SeamlessMD Podcast, Dr. Joshua Liu, Co-founder & CEO at SeamlessMD, and marketing colleague, Alan Sardana, chat with Customer Success Manager, Jordan Finewax, about Supporting Ontario Hospitals with Surgical Remote Monitoring. See the full show notes below for details.

We are thrilled to read a piece written by our partners Cheryl Crisafi, ERAS Cardiac Clinical Coordinator, and Dr. Daniel Engelman, Medical Director of the Heart and Vascular Center at Baystate Health, in the most recent issue of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Cardiac Newsletter, discussing the value of Digital Patient Engagement platforms (DPEPs) and how they can improve health outcomes.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for remote monitoring solutions is at an all-time high and it is clear that this will continue to be the case in a post-pandemic world. As such, healthcare organizations must ensure that staff are trained to deliver a seamless experience that is comparable to an in-person visit.

WBTV news, one of North Carolina’s news divisions, recently published a news segment highlighting our innovation with Atrium Health designed to help tackle the opioid crisis.

Dr. Joshua Liu, CEO of SeamlessMD recently appeared on the Canadian Healthcare Lessons in Leadership & Life - Interview Series podcast hosted by Shiyen Shu to share lessons he’s learned while building SeamlessMD.

This study on the “Disparities in Perioperative Use of Patient Engagement Technologies - Not All Use is Equal,” published in the Annals of Surgery by Lauren Theiss, M.D. discusses the association of patient-level characteristics on the use of patient engagement technology during the perioperative period.

In a post-pandemic health economy, healthcare organizations will continue to rely on remote monitoring solutions to increase access to care, reduce surgical backlogs, and improve patient outcomes.

In an effort to reduce the surgical backlog caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare organizations are seeking innovative technology solutions. An effective Surgical Remote Monitoring platform can lessen the backlog by reducing hospital length of stay, readmissions, ED visits, and by ultimately ensuring patients get the right care outside of the hospital.
