Interview with Raja Sundaram, Co-Founder and CEO of Plethy

In the premiere episode of Healthcare Unscripted, Dr. Chris Leslie sits down with Raja Sundaram, Co-Founder and CEO of Plethy, to explore how patient engagement and connected technology are reshaping the future of musculoskeletal care.

From orthopedic surgery to workers' compensation, recovery often depends less on what happens in the clinic and more on what happens at home. That's where Plethy's Recupe platform comes in; empowering patients with real-time guidance, personalized coaching, and data-driven accountability that drives measurable results.

Dr. Leslie and Raja dive into: . The role of patient engagement in accelerating recovery and reducing claim durations . How Recupe's wearable sensors and coaching model enhance compliance and outcomes . Why data transparency between patients, clinicians, and payors is the key to value-based care . The difference between engagement in healthcare vs. workers' comp environments . How empathy, not just innovation, will shape the next generation of connected health

This conversation sets the tone for Healthcare Unscripted, an honest, in-depth look at how technology, strategy, and human connection are converging to build a smarter, more compassionate healthcare system.
