We had the honor of speaking with Dr. David Armstrong, a globally recognized leader in diabetic foot care and the President of the American Limb Preservation Society (ALPS). While Dr. Armstrong’s pivotal work in podiatry and limb preservation is well-known, our conversation took a deep dive into a different yet equally impactful area: the innovation process in healthcare and the critical role of technology and AI in transforming patient outcomes, and most importantly, adoption of trustworthy AI in healthcare.

Highlights of our one-hour conversation:

• Dr. Armstrong shared his unique insights on fostering innovation, integrating emerging technologies, and overcoming the complexities of adoption within the medical field.
• We explored how collaboration across disciplines—connecting clinicians, engineers, innovators, and investors—can bridge gaps and accelerate progress.
• Dr. Armstrong discussed his experiences with cutting-edge advancements, such as wearable robotics, implantable neurostimulation, and AI-driven tools, emphasizing their potential to reshape healthcare delivery.
• The conversation also delved into building trust with patients, ensuring equitable access to new solutions, and how global health systems can learn from one another to optimize innovation adoption.
• Dr. Armstrong’s perspective offered a fascinating look at how groundbreaking technology and a collaborative approach can drive change and enhance care for patients worldwide.

We hope this episode inspires a fresh understanding of the innovation journey in healthcare and the importance of bringing together diverse voices to make a lasting, meaningful impact.
