Huda Idress joins us today to share her international educational and entrepreneurial journey. Huda was raised in Saudi Arabia by Pakistani parents. She moved to Toronto to pursue her education as an Industrial Engineer.  With a desire to work in health care and have an impact on the world, Huda started down a road that would eventually lead her to create her own company that changed the landscape of healthcare and how it works. While pursuing placement for her mandatory work experience, Huda applied for a role with Wattpad only to propose a modified one to the CEO. Her boldness and perception paid off; she was hired as an Experience Designer (in addition to the actual job she applied for). Eventually, this led to her founding Dot Health. Dot Health is building a massive network that transacts patient-level health care via a digital transaction and seamlessly transfers data at any provider. Whether you are an engineer or a leader, designing principles must be in place as you enter a project. Constant iteration is imperative. Don’t wait for perfection. Continue to improve on your product rather than holding it until it’s ready. Providing an open window and getting people into the process will help you produce a better result. Real-time decisions will save an organization in the long run. If you are hiring or seeking to make a change – reverse engineer your desired end and partner with people that fill that goal.  Intrinsically motivated people to solve the problem that we are solving. When entering the workforce or seeking to grow in an organization, take ownership and initiative. Constantly ask for more and knock it out of the park. Confidence asks for more and builds up a reservoir of goodwill. You don't have to wait for more responsibility. Ask for it, own it, and back it up. Knowing your lane is key to making a difference. Whether as an employee, entrepreneur, or an activist, once you identify the impact you can and should make, you can champion it with power and weight.   Resources Dot Health - https://www.dothealth.ca/ Magical vacation planner 407-442-0257   Connect with Huda https://www.hudaidrees.com/ Twitter: @hidrees Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hidrees/?originalSubdomain=ca Github: https://github.com/hidrees Email: huda@hudaidrees.com

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: 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.

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.
