Physio+ 10 in conversation with Barry Nguyen Clinician | Software Engineer | Educator

Barry's Dad was a scholar, his Mum a machinist, both parents were immigrants and he was a confessed computer geek and introvert, so communicating the nuances of pain as a Physio was going to be an uphill battle. And it was.

In this episode, Barry talks about;
the challenges of coming from a Vietnamese culture where touch is not considered the norm and Physio was largely unknown
how Physio was so tough that he nearly stopped
starting in private practice as an employee and only seeing a few clients a day
starting his own side business, and the challenges of working in several GP clinics with a bottle of gel and portable plinth
how he developed his own PMS to manage appointments, (pre-Cliniko) and then sold it
how he realised that Physio as a business wasn’t scalable, and he developed alternative ways to build his $$ income
misconception of employees about the ease of being an employer
how during COVID completed a boot camp for software engineers and since then has created some IT/Physio software startups
how AI will integrate into health practice to reduce admin and other repeated tasks
types of intelligence, fluid and crystalised and who has which
