According to National Geographic, about ten nonillion (10 to the 31st power) individual viruses are said to exist on our planet Earth. Of these, biologists estimate that 380 trillion live on and in our bodies at a given moment. The common thought when it comes to viruses is disease and sickness. In fact, a recent pandemic owes its ravaging existence and plague to a virus. What exactly are viruses that they can uproot lives and nations? Are they dead or alive? What makes them different from bacteria? What enables a virus to cause pandemics (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) versus a common cold (i.e., rhinovirus)? How does our immune system protect us from these biological intruders? How do vaccines prevent the havoc that viruses seek to wreak?We are joined today by immunologist Dr. Azza Gadir. She received her BSc in Biochemistry and Immunology from King's College London in 2006, MSc in Immunology of Infectious Diseases from the University of London, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in 2007, PhD in Autoimmunity from University College of London in 2011, and a postdoctoral research fellowship in Allergy and Immunology at Harvard Medical School/Boston Children's Hospital in 2018, where she delved into the role of the gut microbiome in disease protection conferment early in life. Dr. Gadir now stands as the Scientific Advisor and Director of Research and Development at microbial sciences company Seed and the Portfolio Manager at Orionis Biosciences. She was awarded the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) Abstract Award in 2010 by University College London.

On episode 389 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Dan Kendall, the CEO and founder of Mission Based Media and The Health Podcast Network, of which The Nurse Keith Show is a member. In the course of this exciting episode about the state of healthcare-related podcasting in 2022, Keith and Dan wax poetic about the power of podcasting in the healthcare space, the success of the Health Podcast Network, and the recent launch of Health Unmuted, a comprehensive library of podcasts covering a wide range of topics to promote health, wellness, and care. Each series on Health Unmuted shares insights from health experts and people with firsthand experience as a patient or caregiver. The laudable mission of Health Unmuted is to create high-quality, human-centered podcasts that connect people with the information and resources they need to take charge of their health. Dan Kendall is the founder of Mission Based Media, the company that has created podcasting brands Health Podcast Network, Digital Health Today, and, most recently, Health Unmuted. Dan has spent nearly 30 years in the healthcare sector across various roles in product development, sales, and marketing. He has worked with medical device, technology and pharmaceutical companies to develop novel solutions for healthcare professionals as well as patients. Now, at Mission Based Media, he is building a podcast and media ecosystem to accelerate access and sharing of knowledge and insights that drive the improvements needed in health, care, and well-being.

I'm glad to be back on the mic and bringing you this special episode of Digital Health Today 360. Why is this episode special? Let me explain. One of the goals of the Digital Health Today channel is to create a space where people can learn about great innovation that can improve the health of both individuals and entire populations.  Over the years, as I've been creating my own show, I've also had the opportunity to expand and serve the health community in other ways. Along with my colleagues at Mission Based Media, we've created other audio-first resources to share more information. For example, we created Health Podcast Network to showcase other high-quality, human-centered and evidence-based podcasts. Health Podcast Network now has about 100 different health podcasts and 13,000 episodes.  We also worked through the pandemic to add new shows to Digital Health Today such as the DTx Podcast with Eugene Borukhovich, where he dives into the nascent digital therapeutics industry. And, most recently, we launched a library of podcasts called Health Unmuted where we create and share short-format, narrated, audio stories to help people understand more about specific health conditions. We launched the proof-of-concept miniseries last year called COPD Podcast. In June we launched the 5-part miniseries about Alzheimer's Disease, and this month, in July, we'll launch a 7-part miniseries about Parkinson's disease. Why am I explaining all this? Because all this work at the intersection of health and podcasting has given me a chance to experiment with different formats, styles, content and audiences, and it's also made me realize that I love creating this show.   It's also made me more aware than ever that there is so much more that needs to be shared.   So, in this special episode, as I fire up the recording studio and prepare some great conversations with guests over the coming weeks and months, I thought I'd stand aside and invite another podcaster who is doing some great work in an area that needs much more attention.   Georgie Kovacs is the founder and host of Fempower Health - the go-to resource for all things women's health serving women, their providers, and companies looking to build and improve on products for women. Georgie is really open about her first-hand experience with infertility and endometriosis. With that experience, she was motivated to start a podcast - in the middle of COVID, and as a single parent. Now if that's not passion, I don't know what is. You can find her show, Fempower Health, on Health Podcast Network. In this special episode, Georgie spoke with Dr. Michal Elovitz. Dr. Elovitz is the Distinguished Professor in Women's Health at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and she's also the Chief Medical Advisor at Mirvie, a company creating a personalized window into pregnancy health.   When it comes to women's health, I've been astonished at the tremendous need for improvement, funding and resources, and at the same time, I've also seen some incredible innovation that is happening that needs more attention, awareness and funding! And despite the U.S. having the highest maternal mortality rate among developed countries, health risks in pregnancy health have remained understudied, underfunded, and underserved. Pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia, preterm birth and gestational diabetes impact 1 in 5 women, and with no accurate way to predict them before symptoms appear, both moms and babies are often in crisis mode when diagnosed in their third trimester.  In their conversation, Georgie and Dr. Elovitz explain one of those complications, preeclampsia, and explore how better screening can help. Let me know what you think of this episode. Drop me a line on Twitter or LinkedIn and let me know!

Let's dive into digital therapeutics! In this episode of Digital Health 101, we feature one of our good friends and digital health leaders: Eugene Borukhovich. Eugene is a serial intra & entrepreneur, executive, venture builder, and podcast host; the list is long and impressive!  Eugene starts by answering the question "what is a digital therapeutic?" We dive into the history of digital therapeutics ('DTx'), the different forms DTx can take, the breadth of application, and some great examples of companies who are creating real solutions with evidence, engagement and business models. We also cover the impact DTx can have on accessing care, data collection, affordability, reimbursement and more.  Eugene also discusses the work of YourCoach.Health and how it supports health and wellness coaches to manage their business from end to end.  To learn more about digital therapeutics and Eugene's thoughts and insights, tune in to this episode! About Eugene Borukhovich Eugene is a serial intra and entrepreneur, executive, venture builder, speaker, and board advisor focusing on digital health. He is a Chairman and Founding Board Member at YourCoach Health and founder of Initium Impact Ventures. Prior to YourCoach, Eugene served as a Global Head of Digital Health at Bayer. He has also co-founded and sold a doctor rating startup and a consulting company. Key Takeaways A DTx delivers medical interventions directly to evidence-based patients, clinically evaluated to do the above: treat, manage, and even prevent different diseases and disorders.  The business models of DTx are being explored.  DTx promises to be affordable and offers digital access to a much larger population. All you need is a smartphone.  When the pandemic hit, emergency use went straight to the market for many behaviors and mental health-related digital therapies.  When people need help, that empathy is vital.  Mentions YourHealth.coach Akili Interactive Welldoc Omada Pear Therapeutics Big Health Guest Links and Resources Connect and Follow Eugene Borukhovich:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/healtheugene/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/HealthEugene Eugene's Podcasts: Digital Therapeutics Edition on Digital Health Today: dtxpodcast.com Digital Therapeutics Edition on Health Podcast Network: https://healthpodcastnetwork.com/show/digital-health-today-digital-therapeutics-edition/

The pandemic has illustrated how Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) can impact the spread of disease, access to vaccines and the levels of trust in and utilization of basic health services. Beyond the focus on SDOH by politicians, advocacy, groups, and charitable organizations, there are private and public commercial organizations that make it a priority to find and fund solutions that address the social and cultural barriers that reduce or limit access to care. One of those organizations is Bayer. In this conversation with Dominick Kennerson, Global Head of Bayer G4A, we discuss how equity, access and sustainability help set the course for their investment strategy. This Coffee Talk is created in partnership with our Sponsor, Bayer G4A. This year Bayer G4A is looking for companies creating solutions to 5 key challenges including oncology, radiology, mental health, women's health and cardio metabolic and renal diseases.   The Bayer G4A program is open to companies from pre-seed stage to Series A, and even more advanced companies with traction in the market. Apply to be a part of Bayer G4A here, and tell them you heard about it on Digital Health Today. The deadline to apply is June 20, 2021.

This goes across technologies, housing models, and service innovations.” — Janice Chia, Ageing Asia ”In a healthcare ecosystem, party interests-- of patients, health providers, funders, government and private insurance-- are not aligned. This results in a lack of help for patients to find the treatment they need, and funders cannot intervene early enough to help keep costs under control.” — Xing Sun, AXA Next Business Innovation Centre Asia ”On average across Southeast Asia, you know, patients will actually visit a pharmacy almost 12 times a year, but when they visit a physician, it's almost 1.2 times a year, right. So when you look at this, this becomes an incredible touch point in terms of patient population.” — Farouk Meralli, CEO of mClinica "When we started out in March, telemedicine was completely illegal in India; there was no way you could tele-consult and give a prescription. So the first telemedicine guidelines were brought out by the government on March 25, 2020. Before that, everything was completely illegal in fact, but the government responded very quickly, considering the pandemic was there. And now everything is well established, and there are clear cut guidelines and rules…within a matter of months, we were doing about 35,000 consults across digital health every month.” — Shuchin Bajaj, Founder and Director for Ujala Cygnus "We should not use our own mentality or our mindset to replace users' mindset. Sometimes it's pretty frustrating, because we know we are smarter than them, but you cannot replace them. You have to think in their own way. You have to think of yourself as the user, not yourself. You have to pretend to be a pregnant mother, who just has a high school education, and figure out what her mindset would be.” — Stanley Li, CEO and Founder of DXY >> Click here to read the transcript Host's Links and Resources: Connect with Tony Estrella: Twitter | LinkedIn | Personal Website Connect with Taliossa Read Tony's Book: Comatose FutureProofing Healthcare | FutureProofing Healthcare APAC index Full White Paper, Summary and Video: A Vision for Asia Pacific in 2050 Follow Digital Health Today: Browse Episodes | Twitter | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram Follow Health Podcast Network: Browse Shows | LinkedIn | Twitter | Facebook | Instagram Digital Health Today is made possible by the support of our sponsors.

In this episode, we dive into a topic that is very close to my heart: improving the lives of people with diabetes. You've certainly heard Kodak mentioned as a good example of how companies should *not* manage product development. A company that was once a household name is now known for missing out on the move to digital cameras. For as long as businesses have existed, there have been companies that didn't move with the times - and we're not just talking about steam trains and pocket watches. There are thousands of case studies from the modern era that can teach important business lessons; lessons about things we should do, and lessons about things we shouldn't. As the number of people with diabetes continues to climb globally, we see businesses working hard to adapt to the new and changing expectations of providers, employers and patients. Increasingly in healthcare, the innovation isn't just about a new technology or innovation. It's about creating sustainable business models that engage stakeholders across the value chain. To understand more about the internal and external factors and decisions that drive innovation, I invited Adam Berman to the show. Adam is Director of Franchise Marketing at Roche Diabetes Care. He has over 15 years of experience in marketing and business leadership primarily in the diabetes category.  Tune in as we explore diabetes as a use-case for taking bold steps to deliver better outcomes and experiences. We explore the capabilities of new digital solutions that Roche has developed, and the decisions that have enabled their development. Note: Although Roche is a sponsor of the Digital Health Today platform, this episode is not a sponsored episode. I asked to interview Adam purely based on my professional and personal interests in gaining a better understanding of how Roche is driving digital solutions for better care, and to discuss what companies can and should do to succeed. Hope you enjoy it. ~ Dan Guest's Links and Resources: Connect with Adam Berman: LinkedIn Roche Diabetes Care Platform Roche Diabetes Health Connection  Sulli the Diabetes Guru - Alexa Skill for managing diabetes MySugr Host Links Twitter @healthtechdan Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dankendall/ Connect on Digital Health Today: Browse Episodes | Twitter | Linkedin | Facebook | Instagram Connect on Health Podcast Network: Browse Shows | Linkedin | Twitter | Facebook | Instagram Digital Health Today is made possible by the support of our sponsors.

On this, Episode 12 of Season 3, we present the fourth case study from DOCSF 2020. Apprentice Health is focused on the use of artificial intelligence and sensors to optimize the use of fixed resources in the context of the outpatient clinic. Their pilot study at Duke University was so successful that Duke decided to deploy them system wide. That sort of success suggests that the technology addressed a real pain point. To tell us more we invited the CEO and founder of Apprentice health, Dr. Rajiv Sivendran who put his residency training on hold to start his company. He will be presenting to Mark Goldstein, Chair of UCSF HealthHub and his expert panel. Let’s join them on stage at DOCSF 2020.

On this, EpIsode 13 of Season 3, we are truly excited to bring you our second and equally powerful keynote from DOCSF 2020. Ivan Poupyriev is the Director of Engineering at Google. When I first heard Ivan speak at TED 2019, I had the impression that I had been given the opportunity to peak just over the horizon and get a glimpse of the future of computing. I knew there and then that we should try to get Ivan to speak at DOCSF. I was able to connect with him thanks to some friends at google and we started a great conversation. That conversation lead to his agreeing to share his vision with our audience from the DOCSF Stage. It was awesome.

On this, Episode 10 of Season 3, we will be focusing on solving problems and executing strategies in the outpatient setting. The theme is “managing patients in the best venue”. That could mean in a virtual venue, at home, at a remote clinic, in the inner city or on a smart device. And what will the advent of 5G and high-speed connectivity mean for delivery platforms? Let’s take a deep dive in the next chapter of digital health delivery because caring for all patients in the most expensive hotels on the planet is not a solution we can afford. We will be hearing from Dr. Christopher Schlanger the Digital Lead for Population Health at the Mercy Health Care system and Darren Sabo the Principal for Emerging Countries for Orange, the European Communications company leading the charge in 5G. Dr. Daniel Kraft the founder and chair of Exponential Medicine will be moderating and you know he’s going to do a great job. Lets join them on the stage at DOCSF.

On this episode 9 of season 3, we introduced a new feature at DOCSF called Energy Boost... and, well, we liked it... A lot. Orthopaedics is all about restoring motion and maintaining musculoskeletal health. So we took a moment to celebrate the technologies and ideas that keep us well. We asked Matt Wilpers, one of the founding instructors at Peloton, to join us all the way from NYC from where he coaches. We love Matt. And so do thousands of people who ride with him and take his classes around the planet every day. He is going to investigate the power of digital tools to change behavior. And to really get down to core principles we were lucky enough to have Dr Vonda Wright, Chief of Northside Hospital Orthopaedic Institute for Sports Medicin ein Atlanta, as his moderator. She has authored two books, appeared as medical expert across the networks and is a strong advocate for womens health and wellness in general. Let’s join Matt as he takes the microphone on the DOCSF Stage. By the way, it was odd to see Matt wearing a suit...

This is Episode 8 of Season 3 of the digital orthopaedics podcast. We in healthcare are not, alas, the first to digitize an entire sector of the economy. Oddly, we are the last. Let’s just say that we wanted everyone else to get all the kinks sorted out first. And since we get to go last, let’s not repeat the same mistakes. Let’s learn from the past. Let’s learn from the Banking Industry. Javier Escobedo had a front seat during the tech boom in banking and will share with us the lessons learned while digitizing the banking sector. After speaking for over an hour at TED 2019 with Javier, I knew we had to bring him to DOCSF to share his lessons with our audience. Javier did not disappoint.

Our guest: This is Episode 4 of Season 3 of the Digital Orthopaedics Podcast. DOCSF is famous for bringing outside thinking to our healthcare audience. From the CEO of Niantic (think: Poke’mon Go) speaking about how to scale augmented reality to change behavior, to the Chief Product Officer of UnderArmour speaking about how their sportswear company is becoming a data company with 230 million people on its platforms, DOCSF shows our audience what others are doing with digital tools outside of healthcare. For 2020 our first awesome Keynote is from Gary Kovacs. When I interviewed Gary about this role, it was clear that his depth of understanding of what it takes to execute on a strategy was exactly what we needed to kick off DOCSF with a bang. Gary is asked to speak frequently at Davos, the World Economic Forum and TED, has lead companies to major exits and run large divisions of the largest tech companies like, for example, IBM. Gary gave an outstanding presentation. Lets join him on stage at DOCSF 2020.

The topic: In this episode, we’re diving into the changing aspects of the employee and employer relationship, and how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can play a key role in improving health and happiness.   When compared to other developed countries, per capita healthcare spending in the US ($9,892 in 2016) is 145 percent higher than the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) median of $4,033, and yet when comparing outcomes and process measures, the US lags behind.  Some of the key opportunities to reverse these trends lies in the way employers and employees collaborate and engage in reducing costs. Our guest: My guest is Dr. Rajiv Kumar, Chief Medical Officer and President of the Virgin Pulse Institute.  Dr. Kumar joined Virgin Pulse in 2016 after the company he founded was acquired by Virgin. That company was called ShapeUp, and he led the growth of the company from a two-person, dorm-room startup to a global company with over 100 employees, 800 customers, and 2 million participants around the world. During his time at ShapeUp, he pioneered new approaches to leveraging social connections to enhance employee health and well-being, and he also co-authored several peer-reviewed studies on the relationship between social networks and healthy behavior. Dr. Kumar explains how motivation can lead to new workforce habits, and the unconventional approach that Virgin has to serving their employees.

The topic: The use of the term 'digital health' is continuing to grow, with new subsets of products and services being grouped within it: digital doctor’s visits, digital clinical trials, digital therapeutics, and digital medicine - these are just some of the terms that have burst onto the scene. In this episode, we’re diving into one of the terms in the digital health lexicon: 'digital medicine.'  We explore what digital medicine is, how it is positioned along with digital therapeutics and digital health, and explore what’s needed to make the field of digital medicine stronger, smarter and faster.      The guest: My guest is Jen Goldsack, the Interim Executive Director of the new Digital Medicine Society that’s just been launched.  Jen has a background in clinical trials, outcomes research and innovation, and she holds masters degrees from the University of Oxford in England, the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from George Washington University.  She is also a retired athlete - she is a Pan American Games Champion, Olympian and World Championship silver medalist.  She’s a dual-national with both British and American citizenship, and currently resides in Florida.

The topic: There are over 1.2 billion people living in Africa, and another 1.3 billion living in India.  Together they account for about 34% of the world’s population.  These two regions represent some of the highest levels of healthcare burden, and some of the lowest numbers of healthcare professionals. For example, in Africa, there are only 2.3 healthcare workers per 1,000 people.  Compare that to the Americas where you’ll find there are more than 10 times as many: 24.8 healthcare workers per 1000 people. To look at it another way, Africa has a deficit of 2.4 million doctors and nurses - so if you’re looking for a place where you can have a really huge impact on a population in need, there are a few big targets for you in the 54 countries of Africa, in addition to another 1.3 billion people in India. The guest: In this episode I spoke to Emmanuel Blin.  Emmanuel is the founder and CEO of Tech Care for All (TC4A). He grew up in sub-Saharan Africa and he has a deep commitment to addressing the challenges and inequalities that are present there.   In 2017, after 20 years of service in the pharmaceutical industry, Emmanuel decided to invest his energy in changing health outcomes in the poorest corners of our world.  He created a for-profit, social impact company called Tech Care for All whose goal is to accelerate digital health in Africa and Asia as a key enabler to improving health outcomes in underserved communities.  His vision is to bridge the very best digital health innovation that’s happening across the U.S., Asia, Europe and Africa.  Emmanuel is a Digital Health and Social Impact Entrepreneur and he lives in Brussels with his wife and four children.    Get the full show notes here. --- Digital Health Today is made possible by the support of our sponsors.

The topic: Take a look online and you’ll find hundreds of articles proclaiming that Pharma’s business model is broken and that the entire sector is in the middle of an innovation crisis. Whether you agree or disagree, there’s no question that the industry is extraordinarily competitive and the challenge of bringing effective drugs to market is growing. Adapting to new ways of working and driving new tech and innovation across an entire industry is never easy, and with the long development cycles for new drugs and the low drug development success rates, the challenges are even bigger. But where some see a crisis, others see opportunity, and making the most of that opportunity can take many different forms and approaches. The guest: In this episode, I speak with Jake LaPorte – someone who sees that opportunity and has developed a new program to give innovative digital health companies a boost. Jake is the Global Head of Digital Development at Novartis and responsible for leading the company’s digital efforts within their Global Drug Development organization. He also is one of the founders and the Managing Director of BIOME—which is the first-ever, externally branded innovation lab by Novartis. Jake completed his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Harvard University, and received his B.Sc. in Biochemistry and Mathematics, from the University of Delaware. While traveling with his wife, he read Ray Kurzweil’s book The Singularity is Near and he became captivated by the possibility of digitizing the Pharmaceutical engine. Ever since reading that book, Jake has focused his career on making that concept a reality. In this episode, he explains how the Novartis Biome is making a real impact on accelerating digital health solutions in drug development and discovery. Get the full show notes here.

In this episode:Key market failures for software businesses and solutions in healthcareHow new tools for integration can lower costs, shorten sales cycles and increase salesHow new procurement models, used by collaboration companies like Slack, can increase the rate of adoption in healthcareUnderstanding the challenges of interoperability and why it remains a contentious area in digital health The topic: Despite the focus and investment in digital transformation in healthcare, there still is a lack of shared infrastructure across the industry which is holding back digital health adoption.  How can better development resources and new business models enable ‘bring-your-own-app' solutions? The guest: With me to talk about it is Niko Skievaski, the cofounder and president of Redox.  Niko has a background in economics and in 2014 he co-founded Redox - a health technology company that accelerates development and distribution of healthcare software solutions to securely and efficiently exchange data.  They’ve partnered with 500 digital health vendors who use the Redox Engine platform to interoperate with nearly 450 healthcare delivery organizations using about 40 different legacy EHR vendors. They also throw one heck of a great taco party - if you’re going to any of the major conferences like JP Morgan, HIMSS, SXSW - then be sure to join them!

It’s a topic we’ve covered before on this program, like in episode 63 with Dale Beerman of Think Pacifica, and Dr. Arshya Vahabzadeh from Brain Power back on episode 21.  In those episodes, we explored the use of mobile apps and wearables, and we looked at some problems that are being solved using these technologies.  Wouldn’t it be great if there were tools available that helped measure and quantify our mental health based on our physical activities and behaviors? Well, that’s why I wanted to introduce you to our next guest.  His company is pioneering work in measurement science to provide continuous, objective measures of cognition and mood that can potentially alert patients and providers to early signs of mental health deterioration. My guest is Dr. Thomas R. Insel, the Co-Founder & President of Mindstrong Health based in California.  Tom’s here to tell us about the research and work they’re doing to use information from cell phones to drive better, earlier and deeper understandings about mental health.    Tom is a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, and previously he was a Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, a Professor of Psychiatry at Emory University, and a leader of Verily’s Mental Health Team I was introduced to Tom my Marco Mohwinckel and George Goldsmith over at Compass Pathways, a UK-based company working to develop treatments to empower patients suffering with mental illness.  They are doing that by combining neuroscience, psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and digital platforms.  You can find out more about their work by visiting compasspathways.com Thanks Marco and George for the introduction to Tom!

How do the experiences of different generations of people shape and inform their attitudes, expectations and perceptions of healthcare today and in the future?  And if we focus our attention on redesigning healthcare for those current generations of adults who place the highest demands on it today, are we overlooking the needs of younger generations of adults and future generations who don’t yet have similar demands of the system? In this episode we explore these issues with Dr Eliza Filby.  She’s a historian, author and consultant who understands the differences in values and behaviors across different generations.  We dive into how people in Generation Z have an entirely different view and perception on [...read more...] Get the full show notes here. --- This episode of Digital Health Today is made possible thanks to our sponsors.

Is there a way to detect those cancers even before they form a cluster of cells large enough to be detected through a biopsy or scan?  What if we could enlist the power of our own immune system to create a sort of early-warning system that could alert us when cancerous cells are present.  Well, the good news is that such a technology does exist, and it’s being used to detect cancer 4 years earlier, or sometimes even more, for a wide range of solid tumor types.  And all it requires is a simple blood test.  With me to talk about it is Dr. Adam M. Hill, the CEO of a leading cancer detection company called Oncimmune. Adam is a both a Clinician and Mechanical Engineer, and has spent his career at the interface of industry, academia and health systems.  Early in his career, he trained in surgery in the British Army and he helped a Formula One team become a developer of health technology.

As we release this episode we are days away from the end of the first half of 2017. 2018 is right around the corner, which means that the coming months will see companies firming up their plans and goals for the next calendar year. New products, sales teams, R&D projects, acquisitions, are all part of the strategies to succeed and grow – and no matter what your business is, there’s always one common need across all organizations – and that is the need for great people.

Today we’re going to talk about aging. It’s a condition that everyone experiences and indeed, one thing is certain: when it comes to aging, our condition is terminal.  Our guest today is challenging that and fighting aging head on. Today we’re speaking with Liz Parrish, the CEO of BioViva,a biotech company dedicated to advancing gene and cell therapies to treat the diseases of aging. We’ll dive into her work and learn about the results of the treatment that she received to slow and maybe even reverse the effects of aging. Liz is a passionate advocate for patient access to these revolutionary treatments, and a couple years ago, Liz decided to take her own medicine - literally. In September 2015, Liz underwent genetic therapy with the aim of slowing and even reversing the effects of aging. She believes that aging should be classified as a disease to open up entirely new and untapped pathways to extend human lives and allow us to be healthier, longer. Gene therapy to treat aging as a disease. Is this something that will catch on? Should we be tinkering with our own genes in this way? If not, why not? We’re already extending the lives of animals from earthworms to mice - why shouldn’t we work to extend our own lives through applying this technology? But if we do that, will these treatments only be available to the elite and wealthy of our society, or is this something that can benefit all of society by making it available to anyone who wants it? We tackle these issues and more in this episode of Digital Health Today. Tune in!

On this episode of Digital Health Today, Yuval Mor, CEO of Beyond Verbal, dives into the research and potential of technology that uses vocal biomarkers to analyze emotions and physical health. We know that words are powerful and that what you say can be interpreted differently based on how you say it. The insights provided through our speech is getting supercharged thanks to the talented team of innovators at Beyond Verbal, a company based in Israel that can correlate distinct voice features with health conditions and reveal novel vocal biomarkers. The Mayo Clinic has used their technology in a study about Coronary Artery Disease, and it is also being used for Autism Spectrum disorder and Parkinson’s disease. To tell us more about the science and how it is being applied, I spoke with Yuval Mor, the CEO of Beyond Verbal. Yuval got a degree in Computer Science and Economics from Tel Aviv University and a Management degree from Stanford University. He then worked in various leadership roles focusing on sales and marketing across a range of technology companies. In this interview, we cover how the company got started, how the technology has been deployed in the commercial environment, and how can be used in healthcare. You’ll also hear about their free app that they have available on iOS and Android. It’s called Moodies, and you can use it to analyze your own speech using their technology. It is very cool, and you’ll want to check it out. And it's free too; I think you’ll be impressed.

My guest today is Brian O’Connor. Brian is chair of the European Connected Health Alliance, or ‘ECH Alliance’, which is a not-for-profit membership organization that, despite it’s name, works with stakeholders around the world to facilitate collaborative working and to bring about meaningful change in health and social care. Brian was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and has spent his career as a consultant, manager and investor in both private and public companies. As head of the ECH Alliance he is creating a platform for change and disruption across Europe, China, and most recently, they’ve started work in North America working in both the US and Canada, in the interview, he sheds more light about that. Brian O’Connor lived and worked in Hong Kong for twelve years first as a corporate consultant – then he went on to create the largest private healthcare company in Hong Kong with over 700 GP practices and 3 million patient consultations a year covering everything from general practitioners and dentistry to traditional Chinese medicine and surgery. He understands that overcoming cultural and other barriers within healthcare is a key component of solving the problems faced around the world. He’s got a great way to deliver news that can otherwise be difficult and frustrating to hear, but he does it in a way that encourages and excites the change that is so badly needed in health care systems around the world. I’m very pleased to announce that ECH Alliance and Digital Health Today have teamed up and are working together to facilitate and promote the work being done globally to improve health and social care. There’s so much to be done, and ECH Alliance members are a core part of the Digital Health Today Community, so we are working together for the greater good to amplify the work each of our teams are doing. Before I sign off, I just want to give a shout out to Aline Noizet and Nick Adkins of the #pinksocks tribe. Nick Adkins out in Portland, Oregon sent me a few pairs of his famous pinksocks, and it was Aline Noizet who suggested that I receive some, so thanks to you both.

In this episode of Digital Health Today, we’re going to switch things up and talk about something that needs more attention and resources: mental health. It’s being talked about more and more as we break down the barriers and stigma associated with mental health and mental illness, and to get this conversation started on this program, I went directly to one of the leaders I had the opportunity to meet several times last year. That leader is Dr. Arshya Vahabzadeh, he is a psychiatrist and Instructor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He’s also the innovation officer at Massachusetts General Hospital, Chief Medical Officer of Brain Power - a wearables company focused on developing solutions for children and adults with autism.   He was raised in England and he moved to the United States to pursue his dream of leveraging clinical neuroscience to improve the treatment of people with brain disorders. He is a graduate of Singularity University and he speaks at conferences around the world - I’ve included a few videos of those talks at Exponential Medicine below. Dr. Vahabzadeh was recognized as a ‘40 under 40’ top innovator in 2015, and is working to bring exponential transformational change for global mental health.   Just as I was working to put the final touches on this podcast and release it, some news hit the headlines in the UK about a podcast that Prince Harry did where he spoke about his own personal challenges dealing with the death of his mother. It was a powerful podcast and he was very candid about how the approach he took early in life really caused him to close down emotionally, and how therapy helped him process things and develop a much better mental state. It is so key to have respected leaders on the world stage speaking candidly and openly about the importance of mental health, and I applaud and thank Prince Harry, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, for having the courage to share that in his interview. There are a couple links below you should check out showing why and what they're doing to raise the profile of mental health.   Today’s Topics: Defining Mental Health, Mental Wellness and Mental IllnessThe cost of mental health and mental illnessThe subjective nature of diagnosing mental illnessThe challenges and obstacles of getting help to where it is neededThe top technologies being developed for mental health applicationsHow regulators are approaching technologies for mental health and wellnessWhat people should do to help themselves or people they care about get the help they need  More about Arshya: Follow on Twitter: @vahabzadehmdVisit Arshya's Personal Website40 under 40 articleHis work at Brain Power Learn more about your ad choices.

Many women find at various times of their lives that their pelvic floor muscles are not as strong as they could or should be. Today on the Digital Health Today podcast, I spoke to health technology entrepreneur Tania Boler, who is the founder and CEO of Chiaro, a company with the mission to develop beautiful and bold products that make a difference to women’s lives. Their first product, Elvie, is an intelligent pelvic floor exercise tracker that combines an insertable, sensor-packed device with an engaging app for your phone.  Tania’s going to tell us more about how it works, what it does, and the impact it’s having.   Tania is passionate about women’s health. She spent most of her career working internationally in the not-for-profit sector, before becoming a health tech entrepreneur. She decided to move into the commercial sector when she became a mom herself and realized the tremendous need for better tools and information to establish, protect and maintain pelvic floor health. Through her research she realized that a technology-based solution was needed, and her product, Elvie, was launched in New York and London in October 2015.   In this episode, you’ll hear about:   The differences in how women in various countries are cared for and educated after the birth of a baby.The two main reasons why women don’t exercise their pelvic floors.The three ways Elvie provides an excellent solution to these problems.How Tania navigated the development, design and production processes with her co-founder, Alexander Asseily.Details on how Elvie works within the body and with its corresponding app.Things Tania wished she knew earlier in the development process.A description of the launch in both the UK and the USA.Finally, a special code for listeners to claim a discount on Elvie.
