This week on DisrupTV, we interviewed Anand Iyer, PhD, MBA, Chief AI Officer at Welldoc, Dr. Frederik G. Pferdt, Google's first (and former) Chief Innovation Evangelist and author of What's Next is Now: How to Live Future Ready and Jeff Wetzler, author of Ask: Tap Into the Hidden Wisdom of People Around You for Unexpected Breakthroughs in Leadership and Life. This episode of DisrupTV featured discussions on leveraging AI in healthcare, digital health, and future readiness. Anand Iyer, Chief AI Officer at Well Doc, highlighted AI's role in transforming diabetes care through digital therapeutics. He emphasized AI's potential in improving patient outcomes and efficiency. Frederik Pferdt, former Chief Innovation Evangelist at Google, discussed his upcoming book on future readiness, focusing on optimism, openness, curiosity, experimentation, and empathy. Jeff Wetzler, CEO of Transcend, shared insights on the importance of asking questions to tap into hidden wisdom, advocating for a culture of curiosity and learning. Here are some of the questions we touched on:

Emergency podcast! We've been asked by many people, mostly junior/mid career faculty, to quickly record a podcast on ageism and the elections.  People are feeling conflicted.  On the one hand, they have concerns about cognitive fitness of candidates for office.  On the other hand, they worry about ageism.  There's something happening here, and what it is ain't exactly clear. We need clear eyed thinking about this issue. In today's podcast, Louise Aronson, author of Elderhood, validates that this conflict between being concerned about both fitness for the job and alarmed about ageism is exactly the right place to be.  We both cannot ignore that with advancing age the prevalence of cognitive impairment, frailty, and disability increase.  At the same time, we can and should be alarmed at the rise in ageist language that equates aging with infirmity, and images of politicians racing walkers or a walker with the presidential seal.  Ken Covinsky reminds us that we should not be making a diagnosis based on what we see on TV, and that if a patient's daughter expressed a concern that their parent “wasn't right,” we would conduct an in depth evaluation that might last an hour.  Eric Widera reminds us of the history of the Goldwater Act created by the American Psychological Association in the 1960s which states that psychiatrists should refrain from diagnosing public figures, and the American Medical Association code of ethics which likewise discourages armchair diagnosis (rule established in 2017). We frame today's discussion around questions our listeners proposed in response to our Tweets, and are grateful for questions from Anand Iyer, Sandra Shi, Mike Wasserman, Ariela Orkaby, Karen Knops, Jeanette Leardi, Sarah McKiddy, Cecilia Poon, Colleen Christmas, and Kai Smith. We talk about positive aspects of aging, cognitive screening, the line between legitimate concerns and ageism, ableism, advice for a geriatrician asked to comment on TV, frailty and physical disability, images in the press, historical situations including , and an upper age limit for the Presidency, among other issues. Of note, we talk about candidates from all parties today.  We acknowledge concerns and speculation that others have raised about candidates across the political spectrum, current and former.  We do not endorse or disclose our personal attitudes toward any particular candidate.  Fitness for public office is a non-partisan issue that applies to all candidates for office, regardless of political party. There's something happening here, and what it is ain't exactly clear. Strong recommendation to also listen to this terrific podcast with another geriatrician all star, Jim Pacala, on MPR! -@AlexSmithMD  

In this episode, we highlight two companies that leverage data from many different sources to create a more complete picture of a person's health. The ultimate goal? Shifting away from the current model of “sick care” - where patients primarily see their doctors when they aren't feeling well – to care models that prioritize long-term health and self-management with guidance from providers. These companies are helping lead the way to value-based care, from using AI to sift through patient-reported data and provide actionable insights, to integrating NCQA's HEDIS measurements into their data platform, thereby putting quality at the center of everything they do. Here, you'll get a glimpse into the challenges and opportunities in our current data-rich health care ecosystem.The episode begins with a conversation with leaders from Welldoc. Welldoc is a health tech company developing patient-facing apps to support self-management of chronic conditions. Using an omnichannel approach, their apps gather as much data as possible from sources including remote monitoring devices, like wearables, and clinical data.Chief Analytics Officer, Dr. Anand Iyer, and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Mansur Shomali, explain how Welldoc uses AI to parse the patient information, ultimately helping doctors and patients work together to construct an effective path to wellness.Jessica Robinson is Chief Platform Officer for health care digital developer The Garage. Jessica manages all aspects of the product life cycle, from the spark of innovation through design, development, testing, and roll-out. Founded in 2012, The Garage aims to utilize digital tools to help providers shift from fee for service models to value-based models of care.In this interview, recorded live at NCQA's 2023 Health Innovation Summit, Jessica explains how The Garage works with Management Service and Accountable Care organizations, among other provider groups, to develop digital applications that help clinically integrated networks across 34 states harness the full extent of the population data available to them. The Garage also utilize NCQA's HEDIS measures into their platform, allowing networks to visualize the full patient care team across the entire care continuum and deliver optimized quality care to their patients.For information on NCQA's Health Equity Forum, click here: https://events.ncqa.org/healthequityforum

What's the role of geriatrics and palliative care in the care of individuals with COPD? We talk this week with Anand Iyer, the lead author of this weeks JAMA IM article on this subject. It's a little off from our ongoing COVID topics, but given that his along with his co-authors (Randy Curtis and Diane Meier) JAMA IM piece just got published, we figured now is the right time to highlight #PalliPulm. What is #PallPulm? #PalliPulm is something that Anand Iyer founded, and is an online community of clinicians, investigators, patients, and others interested in the intersection of palliative care and geriatrics. Anand is also an Assistant Professor in Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and faculty at the Center for Palliative and Supportive Care at UAB. Anands research on this subject has shown a lot of things, including that COPD patients are often referred too late to palliative care and hospice, pulmonologists often equate hospice with palliative care, there is high symptom and emotional needs in COPD patients, and that patients and family members feel palliative care should be integrated early on in the care of COPD. Links to the following articles can be found on this blog post at https://www.geripal.org/2020/04/integration-of-geriatrics-and-palliaitve-care-in-COPD.html: - A Qualitative Study of Pulmonary and Palliative Care Clinician Perspectives on Early Palliative Care in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - A Formative Evaluation of Patient and Family Caregiver Perspectives on Early Palliative Care in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease across Disease Severity - End-of-Life Spending and Healthcare Utilization Among Older Adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease We also talk about this podcast with David Currow on the use of opioids in dypsnea: -Opioids for Breathlessness: A Podcast with David Currow So take a listen and join the conversation at #PalliPulm! by: @ewidera

Harnessing the power of A.I. to scale digital care for chronic disease management

Last time I looked this up online, there were more than 5000 companies offering digital medicine tools. Which ones worked? Which ones are less good than others? Which ones have not been tested? How were they tested: apples to apples or a whole fruit basket of standards? If you’re a clinician or the head of population health or an insurance carrier and you’re trying to figure out whether a digital tool could help solve a problem your patients are having … at this juncture, may the force be with you and I hope you know how to use Excel. The Digital Therapeutics Alliance (DTA) aims to put definitions and standards around what can be legitimately called a digital therapeutic and how these tools are best deployed so that patients are best equipped to get the best possible outcomes. Today I speak with Megan Coder, executive director of the Digital Therapeutics Alliance. You can learn more at dtxalliance.org. Megan Coder, PharmD, MBA, is executive director of the Digital Therapeutics Alliance (DTA), whose mission is to broaden the understanding, adoption, and integration of clinically validated digital therapeutic solutions into mainstream health care through education, advocacy, and research. With more than a decade of experience in the health care industry, Megan’s expertise extends from strategic growth and partnership development within the digital health sector to the direct delivery of patient care. 01:50 What the Digital Therapeutics Alliance is. 02:59 Defining a digital therapeutic. 03:50 What is vs what isn’t a digital therapeutic. 05:08 What it means to be a digital therapeutic. 06:19 Extending clinical care to a patient outside of the clinical care environment. 07:54 Digital therapeutics Megan is currently excited about. 10:48 Learn more about WellDoc with Anand Iyer in EP102. 11:02 Learn more about Propeller Health in EP32 with Kevin Houlihan. 12:05 Digital therapeutics and digital formularies. 13:09 Managing and prescribing digital therapeutics on an individual patient level. 15:22 Why the DTA exists and the questions it’s answering. 18:09 Legitimate claims vs really good marketing. 20:34 “How do we start to clarify that process and bring a little … more continuity and consistency into this world?” 22:57 Disrupting without interrupting. 25:24 Megan’s advice to providers: knowing clinical needs and gaps. 27:31 Megan’s advice for insurance carriers. 28:32 Love the problem, not the solution.

William Gibson, the noted science fiction author wrote, "the future is already here, it’s just not widely distributed yet."  Our guest this week describes a future revolution in healthcare that is, in fact, already here.  Digital health therapeutics are transforming the delivery and experience of medical care and rapidly gaining traction in healthcare delivery.Anand Iyer, the Chief Strategy Officer for Welldoc, has been engaged in digital health for well over a decade.  He is a respected global digital health leader.  Anand has a doctorate in computer and electrical engineering as well as a MBA from Carnegie Mellon.  Anand and his colleagues are part of a large and growing community of cutting-edge digital entrepreneurs that are building the technologic infrastructure and capabilities to enable a completely different approach to medical care.  In this interview, Anand describes the digital therapeutics that are being used to provide clinical care to patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.  To date, Welldoc’s FDA approved digital therapeutic, Blue Star, has been used by tens of thousands of healthcare consumers with diabetes.In addition, in this episode Anand shares the following:How digital health software and algorithms are becoming FDA-approved and regulated therapeutics, similar to medications and medical devices.The three main facets of the Blue Star digital health program - targeted at patients, providers and health systems.The requirements for the acceptance and adoption of digital health into mainstream clinical delivery.Why digital health is the only viable option in addressing numerous chronic diseases that are advancing at epidemic proportion.Why digital health presents a great solution to some of the challenges in providing optimal care to the Medicaid population - addressing some of the existing inequities in quality, accessibility, affordability and engagement.How different digital health platforms are beginning to coalesce, affording users a singular, non-fragmented, seamless experience.It is remarkable that Anand and his colleagues understood this potential well over a decade ago - the use of digital apps to treat diabetes, hypertension, depression, heart failure and numerous other chronic diseases.  Given their forethought, Anand asks us to imagine what digital technology and advanced analytics will be able to accomplish in the next 5 years. The use of: 24/7 real-time biometric recording and psychosocial/consumer information; coupled with machine learning, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, voice technologies, natural language processing and avatars; plus new coordinating & integrating operating platforms - will enable unimagined advances in medical care.  Three closing thoughts:The take-home point is that digital health will almost certainly be a profound (and perhaps unprecedented) enabler in making high-quality healthcare accessible, affordable and sustainable - for everyone.Digital health will also be a major enabler in engaging healthcare consumers, finally breaking the quality & outcomes barrier we’ve been unable to penetrate over the past couple of decades.  Although digital technology is going to be a game-changing enabler, our purpose should not be to digitize healthcare, but to humanize it.As always, I am very interested in hearing your thoughts about this exciting domain of creating a new healthcare.This will be one of a number of upcoming interviews focused on digital health.Until next time, be well!Zeev
