Care City Leadership Monday

The Digital Health Report
The Importance of Patient Design
"One element of digital health that makes it easy for patient design to be incorporated into healthcare is the kind of data generated. We no longer have to invite patients to the hospital all the time because we want to obtain an ECG, blood pressure, or other basic physiological data. With all sorts of smart medical devices and implantables available, we can conveniently harvest quality data from patients wherever they are. Whether they are asleep, making breakfast, preparing for work, or just taking a walk."

[QUOTE] "I saw firsthand the impact of a system where speed is rewarded, and patients are stereotyped. We started Cityblock because no one should have to feel ignored, rushed, or neglected. This is what we call compassionate care—seeing each member as a person, and recognizing that your time, stories and feelings matter." - Dr Toyin Ajayi, Founder of Cityblock Health.

The month after the ruling, Maven—a virtual health clinic and benefits platform with a focus on women's health—saw a 67% bump in companies looking to add reproductive health benefits, including travel policies so employees in states with restricted access to reproductive health services can be reimbursed for crossing state lines for care."
[QUOTE] "Healthcare is an industry that moves slowly," says Ryder. "To really innovate in this space, you have to do it from inside and work with the system." - Kate Ryder, Maven Founder and CEO.
