Colton is giving the ultimate rundown from the HLTH conference in Vegas 🩺 From AI taking over (in a good way 👀) to nurse-led innovations that are straight-up changing the game, this episode is a whole vibe.

• 🤖 How AI might actually save nurses from burnout (not steal our jobs, promise)
• 🏥 The wild Nurse Hackathon energy — ideas, collabs, and prototypes galore
• 🪞 A face scanner that tells your biological age (spoiler: Colton wasn’t thrilled 😅)
