Monogram Health’s Post

The Pulse Podcast by Wharton Digital Health recently spoke with Oshi Health co-founders about #digitalhealth, #valuebasedcare, and redesigning #digestivehealthcare around evidence, patient needs, and aligned incentives. They discussed: 💡 Rethinking a proven clinical approach that historically was limited in scale 🔥 How the need for GI support is driven by symptom severity rather than clinical acuity 💪 How flexing resources for each phase of the care journey drives personalized care pathways at scale 🤝 The importance of clinicians building trust from the first visit 👨👩👦👦 Quantifying the impact of multidisciplinary care and purpose-built workflows 🏥 Working collaboratively, not in competition, with brick-and-mortar practices 💸 Transitioning to value-based care contracts with an orientation towards symptom control 🙆♀️ Building workflows and technology to make collaboration - internal and external - easier 📈 Clearing the path to successfully scale virtual-first specialty care “You can have a visit with the world’s best gastroenterologist, but if you don’t have the tools to implement the recommendations that we give you in an office visit, it can completely nullify that value…We looked at all the evidence and said ‘How can we get patients the care they need, and then give them the tools, technology, infrastructure and support to execute on those recommendations?’” — Dr. Sameer Berry Thanks to Sam Holliday, Sameer Berry, MD, MBA and Jenée Rideaux for an excellent interview!

Mission Critical: Patient-First Strategy for Digital Health   🌟My journey, shaped by decades of living with autoimmune disease, fuels my passion for revolutionizing #patientcare. Autoimmune conditions, though affecting many, often remain in the shadows of medical research and care.  📚In my latest post, I delve into the critical elements of my #patientfirst strategy for #digitalhealth companies. From navigating the healthcare maze to advocating for vulnerable patients, every step matters. 🌱 🚀At #rheumission, the startup I co-founded, we’re committed to putting patients at the forefront of accessible, integrative rheumatology care aimed at achieving sustained remission.  Come meet and talk #autoimmune #rheumission with me this weekend at #ViVE ! 💪 #digitalhealth #redefiningcare #v1c #healthcareonLinkedIn #rheumatology #chronicdisease

Another excellent blog from Michael A. Greeley on the complexities and nuances of the specialty value-based care market in the specific context of Oshi Health. There is so much opportunity in the space, but there are several hallmarks of successful companies, including making the investment in proving out the clinical model and cost savings very early in the process. https://lnkd.in/ehYp7PYX

Medical advancements and the future of healthcare is becoming increasingly personal, with precision care leveraging technology to tailor treatments to individual patients. This tailored care offers a future where the focus of healthcare is no longer "cure"-based, but instead emphasizes actual well-being by focusing each person's unique health journey on the steps needed for a long and fulfilling life. Moving toward preventative and personalized healthcare means managing wellness, and it requires us to move away from a reactive mindset. Not only could this reduce overall healthcare costs—it could empower patients to live healthier lives centered on happiness. #Healthcare #PrecisionCare #PatientExperience

Great insights from the recent survey by the Patients Association in collaboration with Roche Diagnostics UK and Ireland, shedding light on the evolving landscape of healthcare accessibility in the UK. 🌟 Key Finding: Almost two-thirds (61%) of respondents believe that expanding opportunities for home testing could significantly enhance the diagnostic process, facilitating faster and more convenient access to crucial healthcare services. 💡 What does this mean? It's clear that patients are eager for solutions that empower them to take control of their health journey from the comfort of their own homes. The potential impact of home testing to speed up diagnosis and reducing healthcare burdens cannot be understated. ❗ Home Testing: A Game-Changer! ➞ Convenience: Eliminates the need for travel and waiting times, offering a seamless testing experience. ➞ Accessibility: Ensures that individuals, regardless of their location, can access essential diagnostic services. ➞ Empowerment: Puts patients in the driver's seat, allowing them to proactively manage their health. By leveraging technology to bring diagnostic services directly to patients' doorsteps, we can revolutionize healthcare delivery and enhance patient outcomes. #HealthcareInnovation #HomeTesting #PatientCentricCare #BioTouch https://hubs.li/Q02ljJjZ0

knownwell, an in-person and virtual, weight-inclusive primary care and metabolic health company, announced a funding raise of $20M, led by industry veterans at Andreesen Horowitz, or a16z Bio + Health. The company is headed by Brooke Boyarsky Pratt who has had lifelong obesity, and Dr. Angela Fitch MD, FACP, FOMA, Dipl. ABOM, President of the Obesity Medicine Association. The approach is to offer weight-inclusive care, in a shame and blame-free care model, within primary care clinics and on a technology platform, incorporating ‘…AI-powered patient stratification, asynchronous communication, and provider workflow enablement tools.’ With over 40% of the U.S adult population and almost 20% of children and adolescents suffering from obesity in the U.S., I am all for compassionate, whole-person care; but how will knownwell measure and drive better clinical outcomes? Despite this, I wholeheartedly welcome investment in the obesity and medical care start-up space, for us to assume deliberate focus on accessible, highest quality, cost permissive care, to the 110 million Americans that need it, and counting! https://lnkd.in/epy4HbEA

The landscape of kidney care consumers is diverse, with varying levels of acuity and needs. To help shed light on these differences, I've categorized consumers into four distinct segments: Early Stage CKD, Late Stage CKD, Recent Kidney Failure, and Long-Term Kidney Failure. The reality is, few consumers in these segments are even aware they have problems with their kidney function, let alone what they can do about it. That's why understanding consumer characteristics and needs is our first stop in the Kidneyverse. Get up to speed here: 🌳 https://lnkd.in/eEMJm_jQ *** I'd love to know what you think and what we can improve. How do you think about distinct patient characteristics and needs across these four groups? #healthcare #healthtech #digitalhealth #ckd #dialysis

Significant advancements in myeloma care in the past decade have boosted patient survival rates by 50%. However, these gains have not been universally achieved among populations in Central Europe and the Baltics region.
