In this episode we are diving into a side of healthcare most people never see… yet it impacts every patient, every provider, and every outcome. Because while hospitals are filled with world-class clinicians and life-saving Technology, many of the systems supporting them are still surprisingly fragmented, inefficient, and—at times—unreliable.
My guest is Sam Yeruva and in2wq this conversation, we explore what it really means to build a “smart hospital,” why efficiency is not just a business metric but a patient safety issue, and how practical, real-world AI is already helping hospitals recover time, reduce Burnout, and improve care.
We also talk about the hidden waste inside healthcare systems, the silent drivers of clinician burnout, and how reimagining workflows could allow doctors and nurses to truly operate at the top of their license.
This is a powerful look at how fixing systems can ultimately save lives—and why the future of healthcare may depend just as much on operational intelligence as it does on clinical excellence.
Srikar “Sam” Yeruva is the Founder and CEO of Pycube, Inc., a company transforming the way hospitals operate behind the scenes. With a background in electrical and computer engineering and training from Harvard Business School, his decade working inside hospitals revealed a systemic problem. While clinical care is world-class, operations are often unpredictable. Motivated by a personal experience where critical biopsy samples were lost for 10 days, Sam launched Pycube to bring true operational intelligence to healthcare. Today, Pycube helps hospitals track assets and supplies in real time—saving caregivers hours and unlocking millions in recovered efficiency.
