About Adam Read

In healthcare, 70% of new innovations never advance beyond the pilot stage—often not because the concept is weak, but because it fails to integrate into real-world clinical workflows or produce the evidence needed to demonstrate value. Without successful clinical adoption, even the most exciting breakthroughs never deliver meaningful impact—and the industry loses its opportunity to advance.I’m a physician-technologist with 16 years of experience leading quality improvement initiatives, developing real-world evidence (RWE) systems, and helping clinicians successfully adopt new technologies and care innovations of all kinds. Today, as a Clinical Adoption Specialist, I support healthcare innovators in translating new ideas—whether medical devices, diagnostics, platforms, or novel care models—into routine clinical practice where they can measurably improve outcomes.I specialize in bridging frontline clinical needs with the strategic goals of innovation, product, and commercial teams. My focus: ensuring that new solutions fit naturally into provider workflows and demonstrate the value-based outcomes that matter to clinicians, health systems, and payers.My Value Based Impact Assessment framework accelerates this process by delivering validated, real-world pilots in 90 days.The result: reliable adoption, faster RWE generation, and a clear path to sustained provider partnerships and healthcare system advancement.Over the years, I’ve: Designed, built and launched three world-first innovations Supported health provider users across 35 countries on their journeys in adopting new technologies Maintained a decade of clinical experience as a physician across various medical and surgical specialties
