My interviews with Dr. Ron Chiarello and Mike Machuca

Five Minutes in Healthcare is where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders, as well as innovative thinkers who are working to meet the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.

Over the last week I have had the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Ron Chiarello and Mike Machuca. Each interview is approximately five minutes long, or a few minutes over five.

In this installment, I check in with Dr. Ron Chiarello, CEO and founder of Alveo Technologies, which has developed an at-home test for COVID-19. In addition to discussing the unique testing solution, we talk about COVID-19 testing more broadly and how critical it is to fighting outbreaks.


In this installment, I check in with Mike Machuca, co-founder of Medical Outfitters in Miami, about how the ongoing pandemic has impacted his business, and the logistic hurdles that had to be overcome early on.
