Doctors and patients deserve better than the outdated technology bogging down healthcare today. At the 2024 HITLAB Summit, Playback Health Co-Founders shared how this affects real care.

"Taking the incumbent route is doing more harm than embracing new tech solutions," explained CEO Greg Odland. Healthcare's "tech debt" forces clinicians to waste valuable time documenting in outdated systems instead of focusing on patients.

As both Playback Health co-founder and practicing neurosurgeon, Dr. David Langer brings firsthand experience with these challenges. His work developing solutions like ambient listening technology stems directly from witnessing how inefficient documentation erodes both patient care and physician well-being.

The message is clear: updating clinical documentation deserves the same urgency as advancing treatment technologies. Modern solutions reduce burnout and enhance patient experiences simultaneously
