Pediatric Telehealth That Actually Works: 24/7 Access, All 50 States, Real Outcomes

Pediatric Telehealth That Actually Works: 24/7 Access, All 50 States, Real Outcomes

Author: HealthIMPACT Live August 4, 2026 Duration: 35:12

Pediatric access is broken, and parents, payers, and health systems are all feeling it. Lyndsey Garbi, MD, co-founder and CMO of Blueberry Pediatrics, joins Megan Antonelli to talk about what 24/7 pediatric telehealth actually looks like at national scale, what the at-home diagnostic kit changes for families, and why the licensing patchwork is quietly costing kids access to care.

In this conversation:

  • What buyers should actually look for in a pediatric telehealth network
  • How at-home diagnostics turn a 2am panic into a clinical encounter
  • Lessons from the YouthCare partnership: nearly 30% fewer avoidable ER visits for youth in foster care
  • The reality of being licensed in all 50 states, and what the system gets wrong about interstate care
  • Where payer-provider alignment makes or breaks a pediatric model
  • What's making Dr. Garbi optimistic about the next 24 months in pediatric care

Each week, Digital Health Talks-Changemakers Focused on Fixing Healthcare brings you straight to the intersection of medicine and innovation. This isn't about abstract theories; it's a grounded conversation with the clinicians, administrators, and technology leaders who are actively redesigning systems. You'll hear their firsthand accounts of implementing tools like telehealth platforms and AI-driven analytics to tackle real-world problems-from expanding access in underserved communities to personalizing patient care. The discussions cut through the hype, focusing on practical applications of cloud infrastructure, 5G, and machine learning that are making a measurable difference today. Produced by HealthIMPACT Live, the podcast digs into the nuanced questions these changemakers face: deciding where limited resources are best invested, how to ethically leverage patient data, and what it truly takes to improve clinical outcomes. If you're curious about the tangible work being done to reshape our healthcare experience, this is a place to listen in on the honest, complex, and hopeful work of building a better system.
