Dr. Sarah Matt joins Chris Hutchins to examine pilotitis, the cycle of healthcare projects that struggle to move beyond testing. This episode of The Signal Room focuses on the practical challenges of scaling healthcare AI and bringing clinical voices into technology decisions.

Sarah shares her path from medicine into health technology leadership and discusses the concept of borderless healthcare. Chris and Sarah consider how patient trust and digital literacy affect adoption, and why design needs to account for diverse patient populations.

The conversation also covers the work around implementation, from clinical and operational buy-in to procurement and vendor relationships. They discuss change management and the future of healthcare governance as AI use expands.

For healthcare leaders and digital health teams, this episode offers a closer look at the decisions surrounding a pilot and the people who need to be part of them.

AI can make a business more efficient, but the harder question is whether the system deserves trust.

Chris Hutchins sits down with Chris Bruner, founder and CEO of Simple AI Solutions, for a practical conversation about what “done-for-you AI” actually looks like for business owners. They examine how to identify the right problems to automate, why poor data and technical debt can quietly sink an AI initiative, and what organizations need from a partner when the technology touches real workflows and decisions.

The conversation also moves beyond tools. Chris Bruner explains why training, judgment, communication, responsibility, and integrity become more valuable as automation expands. He shares how those principles shape his work, his leadership, and the legacy he hopes to build through his business and family.

In this episode:

• What a done-for-you AI system should deliver
• How to choose useful automation opportunities
• Why data quality and technical debt matter
• The human skills AI cannot supply
• Trust, accountability, stewardship, and legacy
