Ignite Startups: How LainaHealth Is Redesigning Healthcare Workflows for Scale with Ryan Eder |Ep253

Episode notes

Healthcare doesn’t collapse all at once. It clogs. Not with a dramatic failure—a breakthrough drug gone wrong or a hospital shutting down—but with something far more mundane: paperwork, billing loops, fragmented data, and workflows that feel like they were designed in a different century. Quiet friction. Everywhere. And that’s exactly where Ryan Eder decided to build. The Invisible Layer That Runs Healthcare When most people think about healthcare innovation, they imagine AI diagnostics, robotic surgery, or miracle drugs. But zoom out, and you’ll notice something strange: even the best innovations struggle to move through the system. Why? Because healthcare isn’t just a medical system—it’s an operational one. Ryan, co-founder of LainaHealth, is focused on that operational layer—the infrastructure that determines whether anything actually works at scale. His insight is simple but powerful: you don’t fix healthcare by adding more innovation; you fix it by making the system capable of absorbing it. Think of it like trying to upgrade a city’s transportation by inventing faster cars… while the roads are still broken.
