Pediatric Engineering for the Rest of Us: Dr. Jamie Wells
Dr. Jamie Wells is back—and this time, she brought a book. We cover everything from biomedical design screwups to the glorified billing software known as the EHR. Jamie's new book, A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering, is a masterclass in what happens when you stop treating kids like small, drunk adults and start designing medicine around actual human factors. We talk about AI in pediatric radiology, why drug repurposing might save lives faster than biotech IPOs, and the absurdity of thinking one-size-fits-all in healthcare still works.
Jamie’s a former physician, a health policy disruptor, a bioethicist, an MIT director, and a recovering adjunct professor. She’s also a unicorn. We dig into the wonk, throw shade at bad design, and channel our inner Lisa Simpsons. This one’s for anyone who ever wondered why kids’ hospitals feel like hell and why “make it taste like bubblegum” might be the most important clinical innovation of all time. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you might get angry enough to fix something.
