#breastcancer screening is an area we would love to see more #femtec #founders get in to, especially to decrease #disparities. “When Black women are diagnosed, it tends to be at a later stage of the disease. White women are diagnosed with stage 1 and 2 and Black women more often at stage 3 or stage 4, which is metastatic,” Lisa Hayes, ED for Pink-4-Ever, Inc said. Here are some areas for improvement: 1. A recent study showed that "although most women reported that their clinicians counseled them about breast density, the unaddressed worries or concerns and unanswered questions, especially among Hispanic and Asian women and those with low literacy, highlighted areas where discussions could be improved." This would be an easy patient education module. 2. Self scheduling can vastly improve our screening rates. "“Self-scheduling helps make the path to mammogram completion a little smoother” said the study’s lead author, Kimberly Waddell, PhD, MSCI. “Simple changes like these can have an outsized impact on preventive health screenings.” 3. Patient navigators can help with follow up tests needed to assess for cancer, especially for patients with low resources. The study concluded that "Expanding patient navigators to include all disadvantaged women within primary care networks could improve equity in cancer care." What are your ideas?

Collectively in #healthcare, we can prevent the deaths of thousands of women each year by ensuring that they have access to, and receive, preventive screenings for #BreastCancer. When done right, #valuebasedcare is a force multiplier in the effort to address and overcome the impact of #SDOH on preventable conditions, breast cancer and colorectal cancer being two. We know it simply works. Fierce Healthcare https://bit.ly/4d5IVhO

In my latest article for Mexico Business News, I discuss how Mamotest has evolved to into a “highway for Oncologic solutions in breast cancer”. This is how we support patients throughout the entire journey, making the process more efficient, humane, and high-quality.

"Beyond Mexico's Healthcare Crisis: A Story Worth Sharing" 🇲🇽! 🚀 🌟 We want to share with you a new #AudioArticle from Mexico Health, where Guillermo Pepe explains how Mamotest reinvented itself "to become the highway to oncological solutions, the ecosystem where all healthcare sector stakeholders can unite their efforts. To achieve this, we developed Bolder, our state-of-the-art digital platform powered by artificial intelligence, which allows us to connect all these stakeholders and provide 100% patient traceability." 📢 According to OECD data, only 20% of women between the ages of 50 and 69 had undergone the test in a two-year period. With the firm goal of addressing this issue and bringing a prevention and care model to women, Mamotest, together with prestigious partners like Farmacias Benavides, Farmacias Similares (Dr. Simi), Reina Madre Clínicas de la Mujer, and Grupo Diagnóstico Aries Oficial, has developed a fast and cost-effective strategy based on high-end technology. We invite you to learn firsthand about this strategy: https://lnkd.in/guv9tBAX 🌎 Mamotest is the highway to oncological solutions that democratizes access to quality cancer diagnosis and treatment in Latin America. Thanks to our digital platform, designed end-to-end to accompany each patient, based on data and powered by our own AI, we coordinate the various actors in the healthcare system to create an efficient path toward cancer treatment, reducing costs, speeding up processes, and saving the lives of thousands of women. We are defeating breast cancer—join us! ➡ mamotest.com

Research indicates that clinical care influences only about 20% of health and wellness. The remaining 80% of health is driven by health-related behaviors and physical environment and socioeconomic factors such as education, employment, and community safety, often called the social determinants or social drivers of health. By actively engaging community perspectives and expertise, CHC works to decrease the greatest barriers to health equity.

In a significant move towards proactive #healthcare, the Medanta , a part of the renowned Medanta Hospital (Gurgaon), has unveiled the #SAVERAinitiative, introducing #TactileBreastExamination (TBE) for early #breastcancerscreening. KANCHAN KAUR, Senior Director of Breast Care at Medanta, spearheaded the initiative, #leveraging the heightened tactile senses of visually impaired women for precise #detection. TBE stands as a pioneering approach to early #breastcancerdetection, aligning with Medanta's commitment to a #holistic #healthcare approach. KANCHAN KAUR underscored the importance of proactive screening, highlighting the impressive 95 percent curability rate for cases detected at an early stage. As part of the initiative, three out of four #MedicalTactileExaminers (MTEs) will initially operate in government medical establishments, with plans to expand coverage to more districts. #TBE will be seamlessly integrated into routine consultations, enhancing #proactive screening and ultimately improving treatment outcomes. KANCHAN KAUR expressed optimism about the initiative's impact, stating, "TBE harnesses the heightened tactile senses of visually impaired women, offering a precise and reliable method for early breast cancer detection. By incorporating this into routine consultations, we aim to create a widespread impact, reaching more women and enhancing the overall effectiveness of breast cancer screening." The #SAVERAinitiative not only emphasizes the importance of early detection but also demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity by empowering visually impaired women to play a vital role in the healthcare system. Medanta's innovative approach aligns with its overarching mission to provide accessible and comprehensive healthcare solutions, particularly in the critical area of breast care. This groundbreaking initiative marks a significant step forward in the field of breast cancer prevention and treatment, showcasing the potential of collaborative efforts between medical professionals and communities for the greater good of public health. #News #Medlr #Healthnews #Healthcare #Health

Heart health in women declines rapidly after menopause because we lose the protective effects of oestrogen. So while policies need to change when it comes to screening, we also need more education too. Because although deaths from heart disease are 13 times the rate of breast cancer, women tend to think the opposite. Women are twice as likely to say breast cancer is the leading cause of death for women as they are to say heart disease. GENEXIA, an AI start-up out of Cincinnati, is doing just that. #AI #womenshealth #startup #innovation https://lnkd.in/dGiT7c87

🚀 We have a big problem with cancer care in Aotearoa. The headlines tell us. We hear and see it in our communities. The burnt-out health professionals can attest to it. The gap between what the research says in cancer care and what our stretched public health services provides is vast, and it’s not a gap that is closing any time soon!💥 We know that in Aotearoa the care received by cancer survivors is fragmented and inequitable and does not fully meet the physical and emotional needs of the patient. Last week, hosted by Grant Schofield , we presented to PREKURE Health Coaches. We shared our CGoals vision for solutions to this complex problem. Research backs the need for an exercise as medicine approach to improving the cancer care landscape for all. Oncology physiotherapists and health coaches have vital roles to play in the solution, as interdisciplinary team members and collaborative partners in a lifestyle medicine approach. There is hope. With developments in treatment and screening for cancer there are now more opportunities than ever before for cancer wellness, rather than a clear progression into cancer illness. Oncology physiotherapy and 'exercise as medicine' could and should be embedded and accessible as part of the cancer care continuum for all. We know a lot of what needs to happen. Today, there is a tremendous opportunity to not only improve the lives of those with cancer, but to prevent some cancers from progressing AND equal potential to impact healthcare spend and workforce sustainability. Evidence exists to support the possibilities and beneficial outcomes not just for individuals, but for communities and economies through meaningful rehabilitation and exercise as medicine! Thank you PreKure for inviting us to share our passion and our mahi with your Graduate Health Coaches. Our CGoals work spans a wide range of solution implementation, advocacy and education. If you think we might be able to help you to take the next steps, and delivery better outcomes by aligning your services with the research evidence for rehabilitation in cancer, we’d love to korero. #lifestylemedicine #solutionfocused #consultancy #teamwork #healthcareequity #coachingapproach
