Healthcare Development & Innovation Group (HDIG)

Disruptive technologies in healthcare are such a nuanced topic, especially in the behavioral health systems of care. At Ascend Innovations, I've learned that while challenging the status quo is necessary and ideal, we must also consider organizations' current state and how they adopt new technology. How might we push boundaries while recognizing the need to be minimally disruptive to existing operations and workflows in the early stages of change? Excited to share my perspectives at this panel event!

Musician and activist Lenny Kravitz, and healthcare innovator Dr. Jonathan Levine, were on stage this week at HLTH USA for an engaging discussion on systemic care, emphasizing the critical connection between oral and overall health.
