Aaron Edwards grew up in Henderson, Kentucky, left home at sixteen for a bold academic experiment, and spent a decade in biotech working on some of the most cutting-edge gene therapies in the world before asking himself a hard question: why does promising science so rarely reach patients? That question led him to Harvard, and then to KiraGen Bio, where he and his team are building what he calls "noise-cancelling headphones for cancer therapy." Using gene editing and AI, KiraGen is engineering immune cells that can finally hear through the suppressive environment solid tumors create, and fight back. In this episode, Aaron and Rosa talk about the journey from a small Kentucky town to the frontier of CAR-T cell therapy, what glioblastoma patients and their families need to know right now, and why the future of cancer treatment should show up in your community clinic, not just at elite academic centers. In this episode: Why CAR-T therapy transforms blood cancers but has largely failed solid tumors until now The "noise-cancelling" science behind KiraGen's approach to glioblastoma Aaron's concept of "Ms. Frizzles," the teachers and mentors who invest in potential before the outcome is certain What an off-the-shelf cell therapy library could mean for everyday cancer patients Why $250 million dedicated to pediatric brain tumors could accelerate progress by years Connect with Aaron: Website: kiragenbio.com LinkedIn X Mon, 13 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0000 full Rosa Hart What if the reason cancer wins isn't the tumor itself, but the silence it forces on your immune system?

]]> 2355 no MD to CEO: One Doctor's Mission ft. Zaman Shah What happens when a physician with 15 years of frontline experience stops waiting for healthcare to fix itself, and builds the fix himself? In this episode of the Nurse Rosa's INsights Podcast, host Rosa Hart sits down with Zaman Shah, MD MBA, founder and CEO of Medway, a physician-led AI infrastructure company transforming EHRs into AI-first platforms. Dr. Shah brings a rare combination most health tech founders simply don't have: clinical credibility from 15 years of frontline practice, business training from an MBA at UAB, and specialized Harvard training in healthcare AI. His mission is direct : restore the human connection in healthcare by making every EHR intelligent, interoperable, and effortless through a clinician-designed, compliant AI layer. What Medway actually solves: Small-to-mid-size and specialty EHRs often lack the time, talent, or capital to build AI in-house. Medway provides plug-and-play AI infrastructure — delivered under the EHR vendor's own brand — that brings ambient documentation, smart data access, and validated order entry to market in weeks, not years. In this episode, you'll hear: How 15 years of frontline medicine shaped Dr. Shah's vision for Medway Why small and specialty EHRs are being left behind in the AI race — and how Medway closes that gap The real cost of fragmented data, redundant workflows, and manual administrative work on clinical care Why interoperability is still broken and what universal, standards-based access would actually look like How ambient documentation and conversational retrieval can give clinicians back their time with patients Dr. Shah's billion-dollar vision: a modern operating layer for healthcare that eliminates waste, closes care gaps in real time, and reduces friction for both clinicians and patients Dr. Shah's billion-dollar answer: If given a $1B grant, Dr. Shah would build and scale a modern operating layer for healthcare — starting with universal interoperability so clinicians and patients can access the right information instantly, without faxing or chasing records. He would embed ambient documentation and guided order entry directly into care delivery, invest in real-time quality and care-gap closure during the visit rather than after, and fund patient-facing access tools that reduce administrative burden. Across all of it: trust, transparent governance, measurable outcomes, and adoption incentives built for sustained ROI.

What happens when a physician with 15 years of frontline experience stops waiting for healthcare to fix itself, and builds the fix himself?

In this episode of the Nurse Rosa's INsights Podcast, host Rosa Hart sits down with Zaman Shah, MD MBA, founder and CEO of Medway, a physician-led AI infrastructure company transforming EHRs into AI-first platforms.

Dr. Shah brings a rare combination most health tech founders simply don't have: clinical credibility from 15 years of frontline practice, business training from an MBA at UAB, and specialized Harvard training in healthcare AI. His mission is direct : restore the human connection in healthcare by making every EHR intelligent, interoperable, and effortless through a clinician-designed, compliant AI layer.

What Medway actually solves: Small-to-mid-size and specialty EHRs often lack the time, talent, or capital to build AI in-house. Medway provides plug-and-play AI infrastructure — delivered under the EHR vendor's own brand — that brings ambient documentation, smart data access, and validated order entry to market in weeks, not years.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • How 15 years of frontline medicine shaped Dr. Shah's vision for Medway
  • Why small and specialty EHRs are being left behind in the AI race — and how Medway closes that gap
  • The real cost of fragmented data, redundant workflows, and manual administrative work on clinical care
  • Why interoperability is still broken and what universal, standards-based access would actually look like
  • How ambient documentation and conversational retrieval can give clinicians back their time with patients
  • Dr. Shah's billion-dollar vision: a modern operating layer for healthcare that eliminates waste, closes care gaps in real time, and reduces friction for both clinicians and patients

Dr. Shah's billion-dollar answer: If given a $1B grant, Dr. Shah would build and scale a modern operating layer for healthcare — starting with universal interoperability so clinicians and patients can access the right information instantly, without faxing or chasing records. He would embed ambient documentation and guided order entry directly into care delivery, invest in real-time quality and care-gap closure during the visit rather than after, and fund patient-facing access tools that reduce administrative burden. Across all of it: trust, transparent governance, measurable outcomes, and adoption incentives built for sustained ROI.

]]> 986 no 64: Reviving Primary Care with Timothy Boyle Primary care is quietly collapsing - and most patients don’t even realize it. In this episode, Timothy Boyle pulls back the curtain on the mounting pressure facing small, independent primary care practices across the country. From crushing administrative demands to unsustainable financial models, the very doctors who know their patients best are struggling to survive. But this isn’t just about business. It’s about relationships. Timothy shares why personal connections between providers and patients are the backbone of effective care - and what happens emotionally to clinicians when they’re forced to practice in systems that prevent them from truly helping the people they serve. When small practices disappear, so does continuity, trust, and the human side of medicine. This conversation is a call to reinvest in primary care, not as a line item, but as the foundation of our healthcare system. Because when we support patient-centered practices, we protect both access and humanity in medicine.

]]> 934 no Ep 63: The Critical Care Revolution with Kali Dayton The Awake & Walking ICU: Transforming Critical Care with Kali Dayton Sedation is not neutral. Immobility is not harmless. What we do in the ICU follows patients long after discharge. In this powerful episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, I sit down with Kali Dayton, DNP, AGACNP, critical care nurse practitioner, consultant, and founder of the Awake and Walking ICU movement. Kali shares how working in a unit that prioritized mobility and minimal sedation completely changed the way she understood critical care and why she now trains ICU teams nationwide to implement the ABCDEF bundle. We explore what truly happens when patients are deeply sedated. We unpack delirium, long-term cognitive harm, and the cultural norms that intensified during COVID when many ICUs shifted further toward sedation and away from mobility. Kali has walked into ICUs across the country and seen dramatic differences in patient care practices. What she found is clear. Outcomes improve when patients are awake, mobile, and engaged even while critically ill. This is a conversation about challenging outdated practices, elevating nursing advocacy, and embracing interdisciplinary collaboration to transform patient outcomes. If you care about critical care, sedation practices, delirium prevention, or patient-centered ICU transformation, this episode is essential listening.

Too much risk.A nurse and a pharmacist break down medication safety for kids and families. In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, I’m joined by Jena Quinn and Lyle Mioduszewski, co-founders of Perfecting Peds, for a powerful conversation on pediatric polypharmacy and medication safety. Dr. Quinn is an expert pediatric pharmacist with more than 14 years of experience in safe medication management and direct patient care. She developed the vision for Perfecting Peds from her deep clinical background, her love for children, and her commitment to optimizing medication profiles for medically complex pediatric patients. She has led and managed clinical consulting programs across diverse care settings and is also a Board-Certified Pediatric Pharmacist. Lyle Mioduszewski brings a blend of clinical nursing as well as healthcare industry experience inform him in leading Perfecting Peds as company president. Together, Jena and Lyle share how a pharmacist-led, team-based approach to pediatric medication management has led to a 44% reduction in hospitalizations, proving that addressing polypharmacy isn’t just good practice - it’s lifesaving work. We explore why pediatric medication management is fundamentally different from adult care, the risks of weight-based dosing errors, gaps in caregiver guidance around over-the-counter medications, and how unified patient records can dramatically improve outcomes. This episode also highlights the evolving role of pharmacists as providers and what’s possible when clinical expertise and business strategy come together with purpose.

Dr. AJ Blood In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, Dr. AJ Blood joins the conversation to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming cardiology clinical trials and reshaping the future of patient centered research. Dr. Blood explains how AI driven tools, including his work with AI With Care, are addressing one of the most persistent challenges in clinical research by improving how eligible patients are identified for clinical trials. Traditional recruitment methods are often slow, resource intensive, and prone to false positives, while artificial intelligence can streamline patient matching, improve enrollment efficiency, and accelerate innovation in cardiovascular care. Learn more at AIwithCare.com Dr. Blood shares his professional journey from bench research to clinical trials, offering insight into how clinical experience, data science, and healthcare innovation intersect. He discusses why cardiology has become a leader in AI integration within healthcare and how intentional use of artificial intelligence can reduce inefficiencies while improving data quality and trial outcomes. A central theme of the episode is equitable access to clinical trials, with a focus on how AI can support more inclusive recruitment and help close gaps that have historically limited participation from underrepresented populations. The conversation also examines the business and strategy behind healthcare innovation. Dr. Blood reflects on the transition from academic research to scalable business models, the role of strategic funding in sustaining innovation, and how large scale investment could significantly improve cardiovascular disease prevention, obesity management, and population health. The episode concludes with a discussion on how measuring meaningful health metrics through AI enabled systems can support better clinical decision making and lead to improved long term patient outcomes.

In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, I talk with Jessica Federer, one of the most important leaders in women’s health innovation and digital transformation. Jessica is the Managing Partner of The Women’s Health Fund, an investor, a board member for public and private companies around the world, and a globally recognized expert in health technologies. She previously served as the first woman Chief Digital Officer in global pharma at Bayer A.G., led digital health expansions during the pandemic, advised McKinsey, contributed to Fortune Global 100 strategy, and helped scale disruptive health startups. She has been named a Rock Health “Icon,” a Health Equity Champion, and one of the top 100 Chief Digital Officers. Together, we break down one of medicine’s biggest blind spots: the long-standing belief that treating men and women the same was “equal.” In reality, that approach left women overlooked, misdiagnosed, and disproportionately harmed. From medication side effects to disease presentation to the silent X chromosome that’s almost entirely ignored in medical training. Jessica reveals why sex-based differences are not a niche topic but a foundational requirement for understanding every health condition. This conversation calls for a new paradigm in research, clinical care, and medical education. Women’s health outcomes have been shaped by decades of male-default research. Changing that means embracing accurate, evidence-based, sex-informed medicine and finally giving women the healthcare they deserve.

In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, host Rosa Hart sits down with Leigh C. Burchell, Vice President of Policy and Government Affairs at Altera Digital Health and Chair of the Electronic Health Records Association. Leigh shares how her upbringing and career shaped her passion for healthcare advocacy and policy. She reflects on the intersection of technology and patient care, describing how data-driven innovations in electronic health records (EHRs) can be life-altering for patients and providers alike: “I know from so many different experiences that the technology we develop directly affects the lives of patients. The availability of data today changes diagnostic and treatment decisions and the patients' ability to actively partner in their own care — it isn’t hyperbolic to say that it’s changing lives.” – Leigh C. Burchell The discussion explores how regulations can both guide and hinder innovation in health tech, why bridging policy and technology is vital, and how health equity must begin with access to basic resources like nutrition. Leigh also opens up about her personal connection to dementia and shares her vision for better infrastructure, research, and caregiver support in the years ahead: “There are a lot of places $1 billion could be effectively spent to improve U.S. healthcare, unfortunately, but I’d probably focus on two areas: food insecurity and dementia research.” – Leigh C. Burchell This thoughtful, forward-looking conversation highlights why what we do in healthcare truly matters and how innovative solutions can transform outcomes for patients and caregivers alike.

Click to hear how nurses like Dr. Erin Dickman are changing the game for survivors. Erin Dickman, DNP, RN, OCN is Clinical Program Specialist for ImpediMed, and an experienced oncology nurse leader with over 15 years in clinical care, education, and program development. She earned her doctorate from The Ohio State University and is a trained human-centered design practitioner. An expert in evidence-based lymphedema surveillance programs, Dr. Dickman brings an evidence-based, practical approach to improving cancer survivorship and nursing practice. Her innovative work has been highlighted by the American Nurses Association Innovation Lounge. A national speaker and published author, she’s passionate about translating research into practice and advancing cancer care delivery.With a career marked by visionary thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a passion for advancing oncology nursing practice, she continues to influence the field through education, advocacy, and strategic innovation." She is working to close the persistent gaps in cancer survivorship care, particularly during the vulnerable transition from active treatment to long-term follow-up. Oncology nurses are needed to lead the development and implementation of dynamic, individualized survivorship care plans that address both the physical and emotional effects of cancer treatment. A critical focus of her work is on proactive, evidence-based lymphedema surveillance using advanced tools like bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), aiming to prevent complications and reduce the long-term financial and quality-of-life burdens patients face. By empowering nurses with the skills and resources to provide comprehensive survivorship support, she advocates for a model of care that is continuous, patient-centered, and rooted in early intervention."If awarded a $1 billion grant, I would revolutionize cancer survivorship care by addressing a critical gap: the lack of consistent, proactive monitoring for long-term side effects like lymphedema. Too often, survivors are without structured follow-up, leaving symptoms unrecognized until they significantly impact quality of life. To close this care gap, I would create a nationwide, nursing-led program focused on early symptom surveillance using advanced technology. Rooted in evidence-based practice and holistic, person-centered care, this initiative would integrate precision medicine and interprofessional collaboration to ensure every survivor receives continuous, meaningful support. My goal is to empower survivors to live well beyond their diagnosis and set a new standard for equitable, long-term oncology care.”This conversation is a must-listen for nurses, healthcare providers, and anyone passionate about improving long-term outcomes for cancer survivors.💡 Key Takeaways:💧 Lymphedema affects 1 in 6 cancer survivors and is often reversible when caught early.🧠 Education and consistent follow-up are key to empowering patients post-treatment.🩺 Nurses are vital in building trust, supporting recovery, and implementing care plans.🔍 Surveillance models allow for earlier interventions and improved patient outcomes.🔁 Survivorship care must be dynamic, personalized, and evidence-based.💡 Innovative tech tools can move lymphedema care from reactive to preventative.Connect with Dr. Erin Dickman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-dickman/Learn more about the work she is doing as the Clinical Program Specialist at Impedimed: www.impedimed.com Connect with Nurse Rosa: https://linktr.ee/nurserosaspeaks Wed, 09 Jul 2025 11:34:00 -0000 full Rosa Hart 🎗 Think cancer care ends with treatment?

Together, they dive into solutions for social determinants of health (SDOH), examining the critical role that social care plays in patient outcomes—and what’s missing from our current systems. Christina sheds light on the distinctions between community health workers and social workers, the challenges of fragmented communication in care teams, and why small, well-placed interventions can lead to big impacts. Through stories from her clinical practice, she illustrates how storytelling can drive investment in social care and why funding must be tied to meaningful outcomes. Whether you're a clinician, administrator, or policy advocate, this episode offers powerful insights into how we can create a national pipeline of support for addressing social needs in healthcare. Connect with Christina on LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cyrodr8/ 🎧 Key Takeaways: A significant gap remains between the clinical and business perspectives in healthcare—bridging this is crucial for effective care.

    ]]>     823 no     Ep 23 - LIVE at VIVE - Challenge Accepted: Nurses and the Law When the stakes are high and the pressure’s on, how do nurses turn obstacles into opportunities for change? From ethical dilemmas to liability issues, we'll discuss how nurses navigate the complex world of healthcare law. Tune in to hear how advocacy and innovation are reshaping the future of nursing! In this episode of Nurse Rosa's INsights, host Rosa Hart welcomes Maggie Ortiz and Radonda Vaught for an insightful discussion about the power of advocacy, innovation, and leveraging the collective voice of nurses. This conversation highlights how engaging with nursing associations empowers individual nurses to amplify their voices and drive positive change within the healthcare system. A central theme of the episode is the impact of Kentucky House Bill 159—the first law in the nation to protect nurses and healthcare workers from criminal punishment for making honest mistakes while providing care. This landmark legislation arose after Radonda Vaught’s 2022 conviction following a medication error, a case that shook the nursing community. Maggie and Radonda share how this bill represents a significant victory for nursing advocacy and why staying engaged with policy changes is crucial to protecting the profession. Nursing associations play a pivotal role in advocating for nurses' rights and safety. By joining these organizations, nurses gain access to essential resources, legal support, and the power of a united voice. Unlike boards of nursing, which focus on regulating practice and discipline to protect patients, nursing associations actively support and uplift nurses, pushing for legislation that protects their well-being and professional autonomy. Social media has emerged as a powerful tool for advocacy, particularly for younger nurses. Engaging on platforms like Instagram and TikTok not only connects nurses nationwide but also spreads awareness of key issues and fosters community support. Maggie and Radonda discuss how social media can help mobilize the next generation of nurses to get involved and make their voices heard. Understanding legislative impact is essential, as laws and policies directly shape nursing practice and patient safety. Advocacy doesn’t just happen in the boardroom—it happens when nurses come together to demand change. The passage of Kentucky House Bill 159 shows that persistent efforts can make a real difference, and staying informed about legislative developments is vital to protecting both patients and practitioners. Advocacy efforts aren’t just about protecting the profession—they’re about investing in the future of nursing. Whether you’re advocating through a professional association, engaging in social media campaigns, or speaking up at the state legislature, every effort counts. By working together and amplifying the nursing voice, we can shape a healthcare system that truly values and supports its frontline workers. Join the Conversation in the comments.
