The podcast delves into the realm of health tech, highlighting a common trend: a focus primarily on the US, EU, and UK. However, it advocates for a broader perspective, urging listeners to look beyond this bubble and consider the innovations happening in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). These regions face significant digital and non-digital healthcare challenges, leading to inventive solutions borne out of necessity. By exploring the work of those in LMICs, the podcast aims to uncover valuable lessons from their successes and obstacles.

With a focus on spotlighting individuals and organizations making a real impact in these communities, the podcast invites listeners to join the journey of discovery.
