I’ve been given advice that the fastest way to monetize HER Heard without charging the end user (woman) is trackers and selling data. Instead, I’d like to build something more trustworthy. I don’t want to be in a headline like this. If you are not paying, then you are the product (you/your data are being sold). There are newer ways to deindentify data or even to aggregate things women search for that can be of interest to various stakeholders. In theory that could be okay to sell, but in a post-Roe world with laws encouraging bounty hunting, I am vetting the choices ahead. I am all for moving fast, without breaking things.

It's wild to think in 2024 we're FIRST seeing the DOJ accuse telemedicine conglomerates of criminal drug distribution. How long have we known about these practices in brick and mortar care...? Answer: decades! Take it from someone who prescribed stimulants and other psychotropics to kids over the years - painstakingly measuring and documenting the need and impact - these appalling abuses by Done and Cerebral mean we need more calls for thoughtful pause when it comes to working with startups. Particularly about funding's role - my favorite topic! 🤑 How did we end up with venture capital and PE financing in healthcare that risk the safety of kids in the name of exorbitant returns? Not that all VC or PE dollars are bad, of course, but they're certainly key drivers who shouldn't be in that seat. Did we underestimate these funders as 'barbarians at the gate', much like the pharma reps of the 90's and early 2000's heyday? Have we not learned from Purdue Pharma's aggressive and deadly Oxoycontin marketing? Purdue pleaded guilty to criminal charges and paid $600 million in fines in 2007. Or TAP Pharmaceutical Products's Lupron kickback scheme for the prostate cancer drug? TAP also pleaded guilty to criminal charges and paid $875 million in fines in 2001. Or Pfizer marketing Neurontin, an anti-seizure drug, for off-label uses, such as treating pain and bipolar disorder, even though the drug was not approved for these purposes, and paying physicians kickbacks. In 2004, Pfizer pleaded guilty to criminal charges and paid $430 million in fines. Cerebral and Done's playbooks were practically the same thing, just with a modern mid-pandemic, low-regulatory scrutiny, digital-platform twist. Will appropriate regulation ever outpace American venture greed? Is it even possible to ensure patient safety AHEAD of tragedies driven by the intersection of innovation and venture funding? If you're keeping score, healthcare regulatory reactivity: 1 million. Healthcare ounces of smartly preventive policy: 3. Blech. 😖 When will we finally own that prevention in-house? #healthcare #overdoseprevention #suicideprevention

PicassoMD and Eventus WholeHealth Announce Partnership to set a new standard in healthcare innovation and patient-centered services for individuals in long-term care settings PicassoMD, Inc., a platform that connects healthcare providers for real-time clinical decision support, referrals, and care coordination, and Eventus WholeHealth, the country’s leading provider of primary care and mental health services for medically vulnerable adults, are proud to announce a new partnership that will enable their strategic clinical care teams to connect with local and remote specialists in real-time. PicassoMD and Eventus WholeHealth share a common goal of making access to healthcare available to those who are medically vulnerable. Co-founded by a cardiologist, PicassoMD has revolutionized the way Primary Care Providers (PCPs) deliver care. The platform enables PCPs to access real-time clinical consultations with specialists across more than 30 specialties in under 30 seconds, significantly improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. Additionally, if a referral is necessary, PicassoMD helps seamlessly transition the patient from the PCP to a local specialist, ensuring continuity of care and enhancing patient satisfaction. This partnership has already shown impressive results for Eventus patients: * 70% of Emergency Department (ED) visits were avoided. * 77% of specialist referrals were avoided. * 70% of cases saw a change in clinical behavior based on real-time specialist input. * The average time to connect with a specialist was just 12 seconds. "Through our strategic partnership, Eventus WholeHealth and PicassoMD are setting a new standard in healthcare innovation for individuals in long-term care," said Dr. Reza Sanai, founder and Co-CEO of PicassoMD. "We are dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes and streamlining care coordination, demonstrating our commitment to transforming healthcare with compassion and excellence." “Eventus’ partnership with PicassoMD has been amazing! It allows our clinicians to securely message specialty providers for consultation about difficult cases. I’ve personally connected with various specialists and within minutes had a plan of care to implement the same day. This app enables real-time patient treatment instead of waiting months for an appointment,” said Cathy Parker, NP, VP of Value Based Care Outcomes at Eventus WholeHealth. “These curbside consults directly affect value-based care by providing real-time solutions, coordinating care, and decreasing ER transfers, leading to better quality and cost-effective care for our patients.”

Walmart joins so many others in quickly entering and leaving or scaling back in healthcare after ambitious plans to scale. This morning, Walmart said it will close all 51 of its health-care clinics, as well as shut down their telehealth virtual care services. This is right after an announcement in March that they wanted to double the size of their clinical operations by opening up over 20 more locations this year and more next year. The reasons they cited? “Like others, the challenging reimbursement environment and escalating operating costs create a lack of profitability that make the care business unsustainable for us at this time.” As a physician, it’s been fascinating to watch over the past few years as so many non-medical companies try to get their bite of the huge percentage of the GDP that is healthcare. They pour money into trying to deliver healthcare at scale, ignoring the many concerns that hospital systems and physician private practices have been citing for years: declining reimbursements, shortages of clinicians, and expensive labor costs. Healthcare is broken, and those that are in it understand why. Patients need - and deserve - quality health care. This requires safe staffing practices, skilled clinicians who can feel good about what they do, and insurance companies that pay their bills. We can’t have a system where insurance companies can get away with record profits while finding more and more reasons not to pay for care and eroding away at the heart of healthcare. You cannot scale your way out of America’s healthcare problem. You actually need to fix the incentives, regulate insurance companies, pay clinicians appropriately, prioritize clinician well being and retention, and focus on the patient. The days of paying lip service to physicians leaving medicine and physician burnout are numbered. Supply and demand forces will necessitate real solutions that move the needle. Companies will come and go in the healthcare space when they realize how hard it is on the ground in healthcare these days. The question for patients and legislators is, who will be left to pick up the pieces if there’s no support for physicians, other healthcare workers, and hospital systems?  The percentage of clinicians leaving healthcare annually because they no longer recognize the heart of why they joined the profession is astounding, with over 1/4 of clinicians looking to leave within the next few years. Relying on the altruism of clinicians and the erosion of quality healthcare to support profits for corporations is just not a sustainable business model in healthcare - not to mention terrifying for public health. #HealthcareOnLinkedIn #PhysicianBurnout #PhysicianShortage #Walmart

Smart move by Allegheny Health Network - and likely one that others will follow. #GenerativeAI systems are so powerful and effective in conveying information that not only will businesses and organizations of all types fill follow. And as developing #ChatGPT-style systems become easier, its likely we will each have our own personal #AI. #aiinnovation https://lnkd.in/eaqAZCFT

Exciting news to share! RhythmX AI is taking a significant step with Presbyterian Healthcare Services to tackle one of healthcare's biggest challenges in primary care leveraging AI-powered precision care. Fierce Healthcare and Heather Landi are reporting on our work with Presbyterian Healthcare Services to revolutionize primary care. Find the full story here - https://lnkd.in/eg4N6sym Lori Walker, CMIO, Presbyterian Healthcare Services sees the potential for AI to improve patient access and quality of care while also bringing back the joy of practicing medicine for PCPs. "As a clinician, I understand the hunting and pecking, the gathering out of all the different information, the chart review that goes into it. I have been working with our IT team for probably two to three years and that was just for one chronic condition, for diabetes," she said. "When Deepthi Bathina showed me what RhythmX AI does, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this is what I've been trying to solve for in the last two to three years, but it solves more than one condition." As an integrated health system, Presbyterian Healthcare Services is focused on improving patient care and clinicians' workload while also supporting more efficient administrative work on the health plan side and meeting quality measures, Walker noted. Working with RhythmX AI, the health system aims to use its predictive and generative AI platform to support clinicians, reducing administrative and cognitive burden, as well as improving the patient and member experience, Walker noted. We believe this journey will inspire the healthcare industry to explore what AI can achieve, not just as a tool but as a catalyst for meaningful change in healthcare. Here's to leading with data, advancing with purpose, and working together to reimagine the future of healthcare. #HealthcareAI #PrecisionCare #PioneerPrimarycare #HyperpersonalizedPatientCare
