Who is Peter Birch?

About Peter Birch

I am the Founder and CEO of Talking HealthTech, a global podcast and membership community dedicated to promoting innovation and collaboration within the healthcare technology ecosystem. With over 15 years of experience in the healthcare and technology sectors, I’ve navigated both large, established organisations and innovative start-ups, gaining first-hand insight into the industry’s exciting developments and frustrating stagnation points.

I’m passionate about improving health outcomes through strategic leadership and the thoughtful deployment of digital solutions, particularly in the Australian market. My expertise spans operational management, business strategy, and the commercialisation of digital health products. I play an active role in shaping the future of health technology through various appointments, including serving as a Director for the Medical Software Industry Association (MSIA) and working to foster the next generation of innovators as a NSW State Facilitator for the Australian Clinical Entrepreneurs Program (AUSCEP). My vision is centered on making healthcare uncomplicated and accessible by connecting key players, clinicians, developers, policymakers, and decision-makers to solve the industry’s biggest challenges.
