    Key Takeaways

    1. Effective healthcare technology should align with clinician workflows, not just add more features—tools must reduce burden and improve patient outcomes.

    2. Feature overload is often fear-driven, leading to unnecessary alerts and inefficiency; instead, solutions should be based on real problems and situational awareness.

    3. Strong infrastructure is essential, as reliable networks and seamless integration form the foundation for successful clinical tools.

    4. User-centered design and product integrity are key, ensuring solutions are built with direct clinician input and only include features that truly add value.

    5. AI and data tools hold promise, but must be thoughtfully integrated to support—not replace—clinicians, relying on high-quality data and real-world testing to be effective.
