Sarah brings 35 years of clinical expertise to our conversation, revealing how relationship therapy has transformed from a one-dimensional approach to a comprehensive science-based system. As founder of Relate Center in Austin, Texas, she's pioneered an integrated method combining physical therapists, psychotherapists, and physicians to address both emotional and physical dimensions of relationships.

The digital transformation of mental healthcare takes center stage as Sarah candidly discusses how telehealth has revolutionized therapy accessibility while introducing new challenges. She shares thoughtful strategies for maintaining therapeutic connection in virtual settings—a balancing act between convenience and depth that practitioners continue to navigate in our post-pandemic world. Her insights illuminate the profound ways technology has democratized access to mental health support while sometimes sacrificing the intimacy of in-person connection.

What truly distinguishes this conversation is Sarah's perspective on psychology's radical evolution. She articulates how the field has shifted from viewing problems as purely psychological to understanding the critical role of trauma, physiology, and somatic experiences. Modern therapeutic approaches increasingly focus on nervous system regulation—helping clients shift from fight-or-flight responses to states where healing becomes possible. This represents a fundamental reimagining of what effective therapy looks like.

Sarah doesn't shy away from addressing the ethical challenges facing mental health practitioners today, from navigating complicated regulatory environments to fighting for qu

Nestled along the scenic Southern Oregon coast, Southern Coos Hospital faces a unique set of challenges that many healthcare organizations never encounter. With just 25 beds serving a rural population of about 15,000, this critical access hospital demonstrates remarkable innovation in stretching limited resources while maintaining robust cybersecurity practices.

Scott, the hospital's CIO who transitioned from fundraising and marketing into healthcare IT, shares the compelling story of how a ransomware attack just before COVID-19 transformed their approach to cybersecurity. This pivotal moment prompted Southern Coos to increase their cybersecurity budget from a mere 2% to over 12% of their IT spending - a decision that positioned them ahead of many similar-sized facilities in protecting patient data.

The conversation delves into practical strategies that resource-constrained healthcare organizations can implement immediately: outsourcing Security Operations Center functions to specialized vendors, prioritizing security awareness training for staff, and making strategic investments in asset management tools. Scott's candid assessment of HIPAA's limitations ("a nice entry point to compliance but in no way updated for the current threat environment") demonstrates the gap between regulatory requirements and actual security needs that healthcare organizations must bridge themselves.

Perhaps most transformative for this rural hospital was implementing Epic's electronic health record system, which revolutionized how they transfer patient records during emergencies. What once took 30+ minutes now happens "with the click of a button" - a game-c

Surgical robotics stands at the fascinating crossroads of cutting-edge technology and life-saving medical innovation. Dave Saunders, a seasoned technology leader with three decades of experience spanning from early internet protocols to modern surgical robotics, takes us deep into this revolutionary field.

The stakes couldn't be higher when developing robots that hold surgical instruments. Saunders explains why patient safety forms the foundation of every design decision, particularly addressing cybersecurity concerns like man-in-the-middle attacks that could potentially harm patients. While current systems generally operate as standalone units without accessing patient records, the future integration of AI, computer vision, and machine learning will dramatically change this landscape.

Picture a surgeon performing delicate middle ear surgery, drilling through the hardest bone in the human body while trying to avoid facial nerves that aren't visible until exposed. Now imagine AI-guided robotics that can map these hidden structures from CT scans, creating virtual barriers to prevent accidental damage while reducing operation time from 90 minutes to just 15. These aren't science fiction scenarios but technologies currently being developed and tested.

The impact extends far beyond just improving existing procedures. Robotic systems are democratizing surgical expertise, allowing far more surgeons to perform complex operations like nerve-sparing prostatectomies that previously only a handful of specialists could master. However, with costs ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per system, economic barriers remain significant obstacles to widespread adoption, particularly in rural and resource-limited settings.

Looking forward, Saunders
