Graduating from family medicine residency at Georgia's Martin Army Hospital, she began 14 years of service as a US Army physician, caring for men and women from all over the country undergoing basic training, airborne school, ranger school, and soldiers on post. During that time, she delivered hundreds of babies and treated hundreds of soldiers on the ground. She then relocated to North Carolina to serve as Battalion Surgeon, where she first practiced telemedicine while overseeing the care of special operations combat medics deployed to Africa. This experience prepared her for the med/peds hospitalist role at the Fort Campbell, Kentucky Army Hospital. She then went on to help build the Army's extensive telemedicine networks before doing the same for dozens of private virtual health companies. Upon leaving the military, Dr. Purdy discovered her passion for ensuring equal access to quality healthcare for everyone in America. She immersed herself in the digital healthcare industry, seeing over 20,000 virtual patients as the first full-time telemedicine physician and Medical Director for MDLIVE. This led to a key role in bringing virtual treatment to COVID-19 pandemic patients and those in the Ukraine war zone. Now, Dr. Purdy is a sought-after digital medicine expert serving as Medical Director/Co-Founder and advisor for more than 50 leading telehealth providers, including Hims and Hers, Wisp, Rise Medical, OpenLoop, and MDintegrations - a telehealth company designed to deliver care for health tech startups across North America. Dr. Purdy resides in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband of 10 years, juggling a busy “mompreneur” life with four kids under the age of 10! At the young age of 38, the well-deserved title of “America's Doctor” has been awarded to her by colleagues across the nation. Fueled by a passion and drive to help as many people as she can, Dr. Laura Purdy uses her role as a C-Suite executive to carry out a vision of establishing the most advanced telehealth systems. Bringing together the greatest minds in medicine, she seeks to help millions of people using the best that technology has to offer.

Telehealth and telemedicine offer so many benefits you should take advantage of. But just like how you might take whey protein, telemedicine should be a supplement and not a replacement for your health needs.The one thing we should clear up right off the bat is that telehealth and telemedicine are not exactly the same. Telehealth options tend to be more public-facing and include things like mental health or education tools. Telemedicine is more along the lines of getting official medical care through an app or software interface. Telemedicine can however, be considered a part of telehealth, just like how a square is a rectangle but not always the other way around. However, telemedicine and telehealth aren't replacements for in-person advice: like I alluded to earlier, you don't want your protein powder to replace your whole nutrition plan. For the purposes of this episode, I'm going to focus on telemedicine, the pros, the cons, and how you can use these tools correctly. You shouldn't use a power drill without knowing its limits.The fact that you can get medical help from your home or during your travels is pretty awesome regardless. Even though telemedicine was already growing before the covid pandemic began, the geographic barriers to getting care just went poof. Having this access is also great for the elderly, patients who can't move very well, and for busy professionals working from home. Now you might ask, oh Rushi this is nice and whatnot, but how do I actually get the virtual help? Whether you download apps like Teladoc or use a health system's proprietary software, there are usually three kinds of telemedicine visits. The easiest one to grasp is what some may call a synchronous or live consult. This is just what happens when you talk with a doctor in real time, probably over video. Any visit of this nature works best for when you can't make it to a clinic in-person but need an official medical opinion quickly. The next visit type is called asynchronous or store-and-forward. This involves you sending pictures or necessary medical history to someone who gets back to you with advice. In my line of work this is what happens when patients get worried about their moles and send pictures to get a handful of spots checked by the doctor. The last option is remote monitoring, which is when you have a provider check important stats like your blood pressure or glucose over time and make changes as needed.No matter what type of visit you prefer, the take-home message is that you should let telemedicine be your swiss army knife to get started on your medical needs in a timely manner. Some apps like Teladoc or MD Live can get you access to a professional in under 24 hours. Getting an opinion that fast is wonderful, but you should draw the line for what needs to be done in-person. However, this doesn't have to be black and white. Let's say you have a rash or some kind of break out. You open whatever telemedicine app is on your phone and you speak to a general doctor that same day. You might then get referred to a specialist like a dermatologist for in-person or virtual help to better fix your issue.Specialties like dermatology, radiology, family medicine, and cardiology mesh with telemedicine nicely compared to other sectors. We're not yet at the point where your surgeon could do many clean robot-assisted procedures from halfway across the world, but we're getting there. I'm going to link a longer article by the company eVisit that summarizes a lot of the telemedicine basics and screenshot a separate graphic that shows the best and worst uses of virtual care. I'd argue that telemedicine is at its peak when patients get continuity of care over a long period to ease lifestyle and chronic issues.Not everything goes to plan. I want to be fair in talking about the less effective side of virtual care. For one thing, not everyone is tech savvy, even in 2022. Both providers and patients might have problems with internet connectivity or may not know how to switch the camera on a phone. You don't need to a tech power user to fix this issue, but for virtual care you should use the device you find most intuitive whether it be your phone, computer, or tablet. Another issue is that we can lean hard on telemedicine or telehealth for replacing all in-person care, which can be dangerous because some issues might only be found during actual physical exams. Also, heaven forbid that someone would use a telemedicine app as a replacement for an emergency that should be taken care of with 911. As I've talked about in previous episodes, there are steps worth taking for exploring your options with in-person doctors. You can definitely try a combo where you see the primary doctor once a year and then seek assistance via telemedicine as needed throughout the year. Another thing to consider is that HIPAA and other privacy rules that govern how patients and doctors communicate online about health needs could also change on a dime. To address this concern, you can ask your provider or insurance company if the primary telemedicine platform being used encrypts your data and is HIPAA-secure. Due to the pandemic, there are exceptions in place but it never hurts to ask if the software of choice makes sense with a security standard. And last but not least, pricing can also be an issue. Since the onset of covid, generally speaking, insurance plans are willing to foot the bill for a remote visit, but platforms can still charge you a convenience fee per consult or providers might end up having you get services or advice that would be considered out-of-network. For those of us who ordered a lot of food from DoorDash or UberEats, the hidden and subtle fees on top of the main course add up fast. This why you should review pricing or fee schedules published on telemedicine platform websites or call the number on the back of your insurance card to get an idea of your virtual care benefits.Even with all of telemedicine's pros and cons, the long story short is to use the tools correctly without letting the tools use us. Although telemedicine costs and coverage might be murky at best, there are great tools you can use to handle your medical expenses, whether they be virtual or in person—the HSA and FSA!

There is NO DEBATE about the fact that getting less than 7.5 hours of sleep causes obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, dementia, and early death. We'll do a brief mention of science reviews of the literature. Here are some links to studies: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ije/... http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine... http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine... Science has been there for a long time. Unlike the debate on low fat and plant-based vs low carb, there is absolutely no debate about the science in this area. Sleeping less than 7.5 hours causes diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, hypertension, and death. About Dr. Brewer - is a physician that started as an Emergency Doctor.

In this episode of The Pulse Podcast, Vivien interviews Andrew Parker, CEO and Co-Founder of Papa, an on-demand assistance service to help people and their family members stay independent while living securely and happily at home. Andrew has a passion for healthcare, technology and people. Prior to founding Papa, Andrew ran Health Systems Sales and Strategy for MDLive.com, a large tele-health provider, where he was one of the first 15 employees. In 2017, Andrew founded Papa with the goal of supporting older adults and their families throughout the aging process. Today, Papa has grown to over 220 employees and over 15,000 Pals on the platform working across the nation, in all 50 states. Papa has raised $18M in Series B Funding in late 2020 from Comcast Ventures, Canaan Ventures, Initialized Capital, AirAngels Syndicate and more.

Today on Health in 2 Point 00, we cheat a little bit and go overtime. On Episode 188, Jess asks Matthew about MDLive getting acquired by Cigna's Evernorth division, Devoted raising a whopping $380 million, Medisafe getting $30 million in a round led by Sanofi, and January AI raising $8.8 million bringing its total up to $21 million.

Mass vaccination sites are popping up in several states and primary care doctors are getting few doses. Cigna is acquiring telemedicine company MDLive. And the FTC drops its challenge to a hospital merger in Philadelphia.

Sometime when you look at the revenue and business model the exit is obvious.  The only question that remains is who.- 93% of MDLive's revenue came from payors and direct to employer agreements- 3% from Health Systems- 4% from Direct to consumerFTAMDLive is among the largest telehealth vendors in the U.S., and delivers services including urgent care, dermatology, therapy and psychiatry via its network of certified clinicians. Over the years, it's marketed its 24/7 virtual care services directly to consumers, while also partnering with health systems, employers and payers (including Cigna) to either extend hospital care or provide virtual care as a member benefit.Today's deal stands as the latest example of major payers opening their checkbooks to bring connected healthcare services under their wing. Take Cigna rival UnitedHealth Group, It reportedly purchased digital pharmacy DivvyDose in September, while its Optum healthcare services business purchased virtual behavioral care company AbleTo and post-acute care management platform naviHealth in April.It's little surprise that payers like Cigna are also viewing telehealth in a new light post-COVID-19. Teladoc Health, the public market's go-to virtual care provider, recently outlined a year of knockout growth in its quarterly earnings call.----I'll leave you with this question.  What does care look like in 5 years on the current trajectory of telehealth growth and funding?   It's not hard to predict the future, we  connect the dots.

With Americans going into and out of and into quarantine again, there has been an explosion in the use of telehealth during the COVID-19 epidemic. Telehealth refers broadly to electronic and telecommunications technologies and services used to provide care and services at-a-distance. The biggest barriers to telehealth—namely, government and payer resistance and HIPAA patient privacy restrictions—came crumbling down amid the COVID-19 pandemic, reports the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. Telehealth is now at a tipping point that has driven a new way of thinking in the sense of how efficient and powerful these tools can be for health care consumer and provider alike. Today we talk with telehealth pioneer Randy Parker, Founder and CEO of Genius Rx, a full-service, online pharmacy that officially launched this month to make access to medicines, OTC products, and wellness supplements simple, intuitive, and personal but at-a-distance. Randy, who is also the Founder and former CEO of MDLIVE, brings more than 30 years of experience starting and building successful, disruptive, consumer-focused companies using the latest technologies. ◘ Related Content GeniusRx https://welcome.geniusrx.com/app/ Implications for Telehealth in a Postpandemic Future https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2766369 Telehealth: A Balanced Look at Incorporating This Technology Into Practice https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2377960818786504 Barriers and Facilitators That Influence Telemedicine-Based, Real-Time, Online Consultation at Patients' Homes: Systematic Literature Review https://www.jmir.org/2020/2/e16407/ Pandemic triggers big swings in prescription drug use https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/pandemic-triggers-big-swings-prescription-drug-71118246 ◘ Transcript https://bit.ly/3jIUoHd ◘ This podcast features the song “Follow Your Dreams” (freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Ho…ur_Dreams_1918) by Scott Holmes, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (01https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license. ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

October 23, 2020: What are the trends and drivers for telehealth adoption and satisfaction? James Beem of J.D. Power runs us through their 2020 US Telehealth Satisfaction Study. They collected data from 200 healthcare firms nationally to understand who is best in class around customer satisfaction. Are there any clearcut leaders? What are the primary drivers of satisfaction? Is patient safety still number one? How do you increase consumer loyalty and advocacy? What are the telehealth demographics pre and post COVID? Can telehealth satisfaction really compare to traditional face to face medicine?Key Points:People did not want to go into the four walls of an exam room [00:08:00]What happens if patients want to get more complex care and go deeper than what telehealth can provide? [00:08:25] Satisfaction scoring by population [00:09:40] Younger generations seek telehealth for clinical conditions that trend more towards mental health and behavioral health [00:10:10] Older populations seek telehealth for more classic clinical conditions [00:10:25] It’s really around an authentic experience between the patient or consumer and the healthcare practitioner [00:17:35] Teladoc, Livongo, MDLIVE and Amwell [00:21:25] https://www.jdpower.com/business/healthcare/us-telehealth-satisfaction-study

Sarah Seegal is the CEO of Affect Mental Health, an organization that incubates mental health startups, helping them accelerate mental health solutions and address the challenges of stigmas, access, and quality of the mental health system. With an extensive background in the mental health space, including healthcare economics, coaching, and counseling, Sarah has worked with healthcare companies and organizations such as Kip Health, Lyra Health, Breakthrough (later acquired by MDLive), and One Medical Group.  Sarah is SafeTalk Certified and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Economics from Vassar College, where she also built a national model for peer counseling. Sarah joins me today to discuss the current failures facing the mental health system in America and the opportunities presented to society to make things right. We discuss the role that the environment plays in your mental health and how considering a patient’s environment can create a positive transformation in the success of their treatment. We discuss the four key elements that make up our mental health and the importance of the connection between each element to achieve optimal mental health. We also discuss the role that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on society’s mental health status and what Sarah believes we should do to respond and help others cope with the crisis in a healthy and sustainable way.   Mental health issues are a human epidemic and our system is failing to help the millions in need. This talk puts a spotlight on how each of us can help, starting with seeing the whole thing differently.   “We’ve been funding basic science and neuro-science with the intention of understanding what’s going on and how to fix things at a biochemical level, but in the last few decades, we’ve really neglected the environment of the person.” - Sarah Seegal This week on Insert:Human How a person’s environment can impact their mental health The connection between our biological, psychological, social, and spiritual elements and the impact of an unbalance between these elements How Affect Mental Health helps mental health startups accelerate and improve the mental health system The startup ventures Affect supports and the two current startup companies Affect is currently incubating Common stigmas around addiction and prescription medication abuse The education and societal limitations impacting our human development system The impact that COVID-19 will have on people’s mental health and how Sarah believes we should respond to the current crisis while protecting our mental health The challenges associated with accepting a ‘new norm’   Resources Mentioned: Radical Acceptance - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) From Pull to Push: How to Manage Our Time In Disquieting Times 21 ACT Worksheets and Ways to Apply Acceptance & Commitment Therapy - Positive Psychology   Connect with Sarah Seegal: Affect Mental Health Affect Mental Health on LinkedIn Affect Mental Health on Instagram Affect Mental Health on Facebook Affect Mental Health on Twitter Sarah Seegal on LinkedIn   Insert:Human - For a Better Life & Better World Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Insert:Human.

Digital health care is here and it will continue to change our healthcare marketplace. I received a lot of messages around this subject and was asked to try to do a podcast on Digital Health. I'm excited to have Dr. Lyle Berkowitz join us to discuss the 101 basics and history of Digital Health. Dr. Berkowitz is a primary care physician, entrepreneur, author, former CMO at MDlive, and consults on IT in the healthcare field for many entities. He has been involved with IT in healthcare since the beginning of his schooling. We find out that a lot of these concepts, such as AI, were discussed in the 1960's. Digital health will continue to evolve and morph into specific areas of care over the next decade, be a student of your profession and dive deep into this areas of growth.

In the face of social distancing to prevent further spread of coronavirus, telemedicine has emerged as the best, and most viable method to ensure patients have access to medical consults and care. And while this is by no means new technology, it is experiencing unprecedented demand and ease of regulations to help support our healthcare system during this crisis. But will these temporary changes pave the way to a more permanent place at the table for telemedicine? And will broader telehealth initiatives persist after the pandemic subsides? In this episode, we discuss the intricacies and opportunities of this extraordinary moment for telemedicine, the growing importance of virtual care and its place in telehealth, and what these changes imply for the healthcare industry as a whole. Guests: Carla Smith, CEO of Carla Smith Health, Senior Advisor to Springboard Enterprises Life Sciences Council, CareTeam Technologies Inc, b.well Connected Health, among others; former Executive Vice President of HIMSS.

Dear Friends & Colleagues,Every day in the US, 11,000 people turn 65 years old. By 2023 it’s estimated that there will be nearly 55 million seniors in the US, and by 2030, seniors will make up over 20% of the US population. The literature informs us that social isolation & loneliness is rampant - affecting over half of seniors. The literature also informs us that social isolation contributes to many unwanted outcomes, including: (1) depression and an overall sense of unhealthiness, (2) poor medication adherence; (3) increases in ED utilization & hospital admissions.This problem is fueled by the fact that there are simply not enough healthcare professionals to provide the care seniors need, especially with growing shortages in primary care and nursing. And even if we had enough trained professionals, the costs would be unmanageable and unsustainable. There needs to be another solution - a reframing of healthcare and the healthcare workforce for senior care.Here is where Papa enters the picture. Papa is an automated, on-demand service that assigns college-age students to spend time with seniors. The students, called Papa Pals, are carefully selected and provide seniors with companionship, non-clinical assistance at home, and transportation to local destinations such as the supermarket, pharmacy, and doctor’s office. And, as you’ll hear, Papa has expanded its services to non-seniors like postpartum women and family caregivers of older adults. Our guest this week is Andrew Parker, the founder & CEO of Papa. He started Papa to support his grandfather, whom he called Papa. Andrew has led Papa to raise over $13M in capital and expanded the service nationwide to support health plans, employers, and health systems. Prior to Papa, Andrew was an early employee at MDLIVE, one of the nation's largest telehealth companies, where he ran health systems sales and product to bring the solution to over 30 million Americans.In this interview, you’ll hear:The significant problem of social isolation & loneliness, and the negative impact it has on healthcare utilization, costs and overall health and health outcomes.How senior healthcare consumers are actually using Papa services, and why Medicare Advantage insurers are paying for this as a benefit in their products.Some of the specific health metrics and outcomes Papa is measuring and improving.How Andrew conceives of Papa as a new cloud-based healthcare delivery system - what he terms “pre-care”.How Papa has expanded its services from “grandkids-on-demand” to “family-on demand”.I had to listen to this interview a couple of times before I began to understand the enormity of what Andrew Parker is doing with Papa. He is reframing the American healthcare workforce. Prior to Papa, we relied solely on professionals such as nurses, social workers, paramedics, community health workers and care managers to provide in-home services. Papa has increased the healthcare workforce by literally tens of millions of people, simply by tapping college-age individuals. Andrew and his colleagues are creating “a new type of healthcare provider” and leading us to rethink what it means to be a healthcare provider.Papa is a next-gen approach to the triple-aim. It’s a practical & innovative approach to solving for the social-determinants-of-health such as food insecurity and transportation. Parker is, in his own words, creating a new “cloud-based healthcare delivery system”.  This could not be accomplished without cutting-edge, cloud-based, digital technology and analytics. Without “the tech platform”, Papa would remain a local, community-based, largely manual, excel-spreadsheet type of enterprise. With the tech platform, it’s become an enterprise that delivers outstanding care and customer service that is convenient, personalized, highly responsive, cost-effective, and scale-able.  Despite the reliance on technology (or maybe because of the reliance on advanced cloud-based technology), the Papa approach is incredibly empathetic and humanistic. It reminds us that healthcare is fundamentally about trusting, healing relationships. Andrew initiated this approach as a way to take care of his own grandfather.  The origin of this company - the authentic and empathetic mission of taking care of Papa - infuses everything Andrew and his colleagues are doing. It's an inspiring purpose, and a service that is desperately needed in our country and across the globe.Until Next Time, Be Well.Zeev Neuwirth MD 

This week I review the 5 year strategic plan presented by the ONC, and the lobbying fight that is ensuing. The mud slinging is far more entertaining than the strategic plan. We have Silicon Valley on one side and the EHR vendors on the other. Be sure to put your comments on the ONC site if you want to jump in. Cigna and MDLive to start virtual primary care; this is a big deal. Most virtual care is episodic urgent care type activities today, but that will change when the payment model changes. This appears to signal that shift is coming. The article that I found to be the most important of the week is Cerner's data published in Annals of Internal Medicine. They revealed the amount of time a provider is spending in the EMR per visit and provides us with a treasure trove of bench-marking opportunities.

Dave and Evan chat with Milton Chen, founder and CEO VSee. Milton is a video pioneer that has built VSee into a powerful telemedicine platform. Telemedicine is no longer a fringe idea, in fact, some insist on dropping the "tele" part because it's just medicine now. It can save lives, and improve healthcare, and reduce costs. VSee serves over 1000 companies including Walgreens, MDLIVE, Trinity, DaVita, HCA, Seton, McKesson-US Oncology, and others. VSee was founded in 2008 by two Stanford PhD students, Milton and Erika Chuang. The original VSee platform was coded by Milton who did his PhD research on the psychology of video communications. Milton has deployed VSee for former President Obama’s Inauguration, for the Navy Seals, for Hillary Clinton, and Angelina Jolie in their refugee work. He is a genius at video, but needs to improve his skills around podcast audio.

I'm excited to release this 17th episode of the podcast on the 17th day of the month. I am joined by someone with whom I worked closely with at Microsoft to discuss a topic where disruptive technology is playing a significant role in improving lives. It's such an important topic that I've dedicated this second episode to do a deeper dive. I call this one - "Healthcare technology, the power and promise of digital health". My guest Andrea McGonigle, serves as Microsoft’s Managing Director for the Health & Life Sciences. She currently leads a team focused on Business and Partner Development and looks at health holistically across the business. Health is $2B business for Microsoft. Andrea was named by PharmaVoice one of the top 100 influential people in Life Sciences in 2012 and 2013. She was named to the Main Line Times Top 24 Power Women list for 2014. Previous to joining Microsoft, Andrea spent 11 years at Merck & Co., Inc focused enterprise collaboration, FDA compliance and clinical trial management. She is on the advisory board of Drexel University MBA program and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Andrea has a great personal and professional story which she often blogs about at Working Queen Bee Blog. Andrea is passionate about health and life sciences, women in tech, and all things Microsoft. In this episode we discuss the role of partners and why they are integral to everything she does. Microsoft uses the building blocks of Azure, IoT, Skype, Analytics and Machine Learning in its work with partners to bring forward world class solutions for healthcare. Andrea looks for partners to drive solutions in four key areas: Clinical Analytics. Care Coordination. Patient Engagement. Personalized Medicine. We peel back on "Personalized Medicine" and Andrea gives a great example on diagnosis and how having all the data from a larger cohort allows doctors to prescribe the best path forward for patients. And we discuss a use case scenario with Genomics and how gene sequencing can predict the best treatment. DNA Nexus was a partner Andrea called out that Microsoft is working with in this area. www.dnanexus.com. Virtual Health is another hot topic - receiving any type of care through technology. MDLive was a partner we discussed and their application utilizes the Microsoft Azure platform. www.mdlive.com. Andrea believes Microsoft is uniquely positioned in the application of Care Coordination - “the deliberate organization of patient care activities between two or more participants involved in a patient's care to facilitate the appropriate delivery of health care services.” Andrea also tells us about "Health Bots" and how Halolens is being deployed to train surgeons. As I do with each of my episodes, I deconstruct with Andrea "what makes a great partner?" Some of the attributes she looks for in Healthcare: Know vertical and customer - technical and business decision makers. Be an industry expert and speak their language Know your capabilities and capacity limitations - knowing when to say yes and no to engagement. Full transparency in your delivery capabilities. Proven success - Be able to tell a story about full implementation and resulting success, it can't just be a press release. In my discussion about partners that failed, Andrea points to two areas - "poor expectation setting" and "poor communication" with Microsoft. And in response to my question about "what Microsoft doesn't teach, but she believes is true for partners in her market?" Andrea says, "Don't be afraid to say no!" This comes back to the discussion on capacity and expectation setting. Key takeaway here for partners - know your capabilities and limits, and be transparent in communications with the tech giant.  As with each episode, Andrea and I dive into her personal and professional journey and her story is a rich example of an immigrant families experience with its oldest child being schooled in America and then onto college.
