About the Book
The Borderless Healthcare Revolution: The Definitive Guide to Breaking Geographic Barriers Through Technology is your field guide to a future in which a clinic visit is never farther away than the nearest screen and a surgeon’s skill can cross oceans in real time.
Drawing on two decades at the intersection of medicine and technology, including years as a senior leader at Oracle’s global health division, Dr. Sarah Matt translates frontier-grade innovation into day-to-day practice for clinicians, health-system strategists, and policymakers who refuse to accept geography as destiny.
The book shares concrete playbooks rather than platitudes; every framework has been piloted in settings that range from Manhattan cath labs to Kenyan community clinics. You will also meet the patients and providers whose lived stories prove that digital transformation works only when it works for everyone.
Whether you lead a rural health network, build digital products, or craft policy, The Borderless Healthcare Revolution: The Definitive Guide to Breaking Geographic Barriers Through Technology gives you the tools to expand access today and blueprint the borderless systems of tomorrow. Read it; then use it to deliver care that travels at the speed of need.
PRE-ORDER THE BOOK
The Borderless Healthcare Revolution matters because:
- Technology already moves care without moving patients, telemedicine, remote surgery, and ambient AI
- How tech adoption curves exploded after 2020, with more than three quarters of US hospitals now running telehealth programs
- Human-centered design tactics that translate pixels into trust, from inclusive language pivots to offline-first apps that respect bandwidth deserts
- A five-pillar access audit that flags physical, financial, cultural, digital, and trust barriers in any market, plus scorecards to track progress
- Strategy checklists for aligning payers, regulators, and vendors around sustainable reimbursement models
- Future-readiness briefs on robotics and mixed-reality training at a moment when the surgical robotics market is projected to triple by 2031
- And more!
“Dr. Matt provides an essential framework for grounding technology in the real world of patient care. The Borderless Healthcare Revolution is a comprehensive and inspiring how-to for reducing healthcare disparities everywhere.”
–Peter Bonis, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Wolters Kluwer Health and Adjunct Professor at Tufts University School of Medicine
“Technology is transforming healthcare and everyone from patients to providers, investors to board members, want to know what’s coming next. Dr. Matt is on the leading edge of the tech revolution in healthcare and has seen firsthand how better patient outcomes are also better for the bottom line. Read this book to realize our new reality.”
—Jessica J. Federer, Former Chief Digital Officer at Bayer A.G.
“Dr. Matt delivers a timely and compelling blueprint for transforming healthcare access through technology. With clarity and urgency, The Borderless Healthcare Revolution challenges us to reimagine care delivery beyond traditional geographic and structural boundaries, offering bold, actionable solutions to close gaps and bring high-quality care to underserved communities. This is more than a book, it’s a call to action.”
—Bimbola F. Akintade, PhD, MBA, APRN, Dean and Professor at East Carolina University College of Nursing
“This book is not a passive read. It is a challenge. It asks those of us who build and fund and govern healthcare to stop measuring success by what’s technically possible—and start measuring it by whether people can actually get the care they need.”
—David Feinberg MD, MBA Chairman at Oracle Health and Lifesciences
It’s time to reimagine healthcare delivery for all.
Access is more than distance—The book defines five distinct types of access: physical, financial, digital, cultural, and trust or knowledge. Each represents a barrier that persists even in well-resourced systems.
Technology alone will not solve the access crisis—real-world examples show that telehealth, AI, and robotic surgery can either bridge or worsen disparities depending on how and where they are deployed.
Street-level stories reveal the truth about the system—from mobile clinics reducing ER visits by half to rural veterans launching mental health hubs, the book centers human stories to expose how care actually works, or does not.
Global case studies provide local insight—the book draws from healthcare efforts in Rwanda, Japan, India, and Ghana to show what access innovation looks like in practice, and how those lessons can be adapted and scaled anywhere in the world.
A blueprint, not a critique—tangible strategies to build care models that are more reachable, usable, and trusted.
