To inspire global communities of practice in health-tech
ABOUT
Another Podcast? - Really?
THE BACKSTORY
Over the past 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of working and living across four continents, navigating diverse healthcare systems and the evolving corporate tech landscape. Along the way, I’ve connected with visionaries and innovators who are shaping the future of health tech. This journey inspired me to create a platform where these connections could be transformed into meaningful conversations—conversations that spark actionable insights.
Health Tech Central is designed to unbox the vast 80% of tacit knowledge* into a holistic space where it can guide us through the complexities of health, care, and technology. My purpose is to nurture communities of practice in health tech.
Health Tech Central is a place where ideas, strategies, and even mistakes are shared openly, so we can collectively learn and grow. Together, we’ll explore the tools and lessons needed to drive innovation and progress in health and care.
* The stuff we all hold in our heads


THE CONCEPT
Because '42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything’, our bi-weekly 42-minute episodes promise to deliver undocumented knowledge, carefully crafted to both inform and entertain:
1. Start with a Smile: We kick off with a funny, personal story from our guest. Because, let’s face it, even the top leaders have relatable moments!
2. Deep Dive: Then we get into the nitty-gritty, asking tough questions that dig into the challenges, insights and opportunities in health tech.
3. End with Wisdom: Finally, we wrap up with practical takeaways. Think of it as a cheat sheet for your own health tech journey—what works, what doesn’t, and why learning from failures is the golden trove no one talks about!
Bonus Fun! At the end of each season, you get to vote on the best anecdote and the most valuable piece of advice shared on the show. Because who doesn’t love a little competition?
Hitchhike the Movement! Health Tech Central is your ticket to entertaining inspiration, expert knowledge, and a network that can help you make a real impact in the world of health tech.
YOUR HOST
Mehdi Khaled
I am a Medical Doctor (Internist) and a Software Engineer, with a proven ability to translate complex medical, scientific, financial, and technical concepts into actionable strategies that drive real results. Over the past two decades, my global journey has sharpened my understanding of market dynamics, cultural nuances, and local challenges, allowing me to deliver meaningful value within the health and care ecosystem. This podcast is my way of harnessing and amplifying that value, sharing it with a wider audience.
Each year, I make it a point to challenge myself by diving into something completely outside my comfort zone. The idea for this podcast has been simmering for a long time, and though it's an entirely new realm for me, I've finally done my homework and decided to take the leap. If you never try, you'll never know, right?
I speak Arabic, French, English, German, Italian, and Spanish fluently, and I’m currently having fun learning Greek!
Hobbies? I have plenty! I’m a former athlete and I’m always in motion. If I’m not sailing across an ocean, you’ll find me mountain biking, trail running or experimenting with fusion cuisine in the kitchen.
