Dr. Jorge Short Apellániz, Head of Digital at Quirónsalud, one of Europe's leading hospital networks, explains how AI, robotics, and digital platforms can fundamentally reshape how care is delivered. Recorded in Madrid at University Hospital Rey Juan Carlos, this episode explores why the future of healthcare is not about technology alone but about connecting care across the entire patient journey – before, during, and after treatment. Jorge shares practical examples of innovation in action: from an AI tool that frees doctors from typing notes to robotic surgery that shortens recovery times, to a patient app used by nearly 9.4 million people. A trained physician turned digital leader, Jorge makes the case that digitalization is the catalyst for a much-needed cultural change in healthcare.

About this podcast

The Strategy& Insider podcast aims to explore some of the most critical future trends and their impacts. Strategy& talks to industry experts and leading practitioners from different sectors. The conversations will make you more familiar with key developments by providing you with insights that really matter.

The first season will tackle some of the most fundamental questions in the healthcare industry. While technology has quickly transformed how we shop, bank, and travel, it yet has to impact on how we receive healthcare. The adoption of digitally enabled tools for diagnostics, treatment, and management, for example, has been rather modest - especially compared to what is already possible.

Together with experts across all sectors including pharma executives, leading academics and practitioners at hospitals we will discuss how the healthcare industry is expected to change.
