America spends nearly double what the fourth-ranked country spends on healthcare per capita — and still ranks among the worst in outcomes. So what exactly are we paying for? In this episode of the Experiencing Healthcare Podcast, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub examine what happens when healthcare gets treated like gasoline: something people expect to be available, can't easily compare on quality, and ultimately choose based on price or convenience. When brand and price stop mattering, the only differentiator left is how patients are made to feel — and whether they trust the person across from them enough to actually change. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Matt ranks service above outcomes and access — and the patient story that changed how he thinks about both The "Chick-fil-A problem": how your healthcare experience is now being compared to your best service experience anywhere, not just the clinic down the street What provider burnout really looks like when a clinician closes their notes at 11pm wondering if their patient listened How insurance billing creates distrust that bleeds directly into the patient-provider relationship — and what healthcare organizations can do about it Why the most caring thing a doctor can do sometimes feels like the worst customer service in the room If you've ever felt like a number in a waiting room — or if you've ever been the one trying to help someone who wouldn't listen — this conversation will stay with you.

What happens when 50 million people need endocrine care… but there are only about 4,000 practicing endocrinologists to see the complex cases? In an environment where misinformation is everywhere and specialist capacity is limited, how can an association help clinicians and care teams deliver better outcomes at scale without diluting quality?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Johnnie White, CEO of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE). Johnnie discusses:How AACE's membership is ~6,000 worldwide, with predominantly physicians and a growing “endocrine care team” that includes NPs, PAs, pharmacists, and primary care clinicians.The sobering workforce math: “there's not enough endocrinologists” for the volume of diabetes (and other endocrine disorders), and why AACE prioritizes educating the broader care team.How members get access to endocrine-specific education, guidelines, publications, and networking with field experts.The strategic shift from “endocrinologists” to “endocrinology” and how a bigger tent supports care delivery while keeping endocrinologists as the clinical leaders who develop guidelines.AACE's patient-first digital strategy: landing visitors on the patient portal first, then routing clinicians to the healthcare/member portal.How AACE built “patient journeys” (diabetes, thyroid, obesity, and more) to counter misinformation and provide understandable, trustworthy guidance for patients and caregivers.Why AACE's patient content is heavily used not only by patients but also by clinicians who refer patients to it for education and reinforcement.The organization's non-traditional education mix, including podcasts as an accessible channel for timely topics, and microlearning with short modules, tracked for continuing education credit.Johnnie's leadership philosophy, “Mamba Mentality,” is a continuous quest to improve, seek feedback, and empower experts on the team.References:AACE Website
In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, KJ sits down with Oleg Kovalev, Chief Marketing Officer at Aspect Health, revealing how his company became the #1 women's hormonal health startup in the USA by disrupting traditional PCOS treatment. Discover how continuous glucose monitoring and lifestyle coaching are helping one in five women manage a condition that doctors have been treating wrong for decades—and how this medical innovation is driving explosive business growth. Four Key Takeaways: [4:21] PCOS affects 20% of women and is the #1 cause of infertility - Traditional medicine has underdiagnosed and undertreated PCOS for decades, leaving millions of women without proper answers or solutions beyond pills that mask symptoms. [8:33] Managing glucose levels can dramatically reduce PCOS symptoms - Simple lifestyle changes combined with continuous glucose monitoring help women see real-time correlations between their food choices and symptom improvement, leading to exceptional product retention. [17:24] Data-driven positioning beats gut feeling every time - Aspect Health grew 12x in nine months by systematically testing positioning through paid ads and user behavior metrics rather than relying on intuition or assumptions. [24:11] Ask what you should NOT be doing - Focus and intentionality come from eliminating tasks rather than adding them—the critical question every founder and marketer must answer to achieve breakthrough success. Quote of the Show (8:00):"When women go to doctor and they ask questions about PCOS, in most cases they don't get answers to their questions. Often they are given some standard protocol of taking some kind of pills." - Oleg Kovalev Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

"We print education sheets that we have, and we say, 'Just ignore this part that says cancer. You're getting this med but for a different indication.' And then you have to really point out what our goals of care are. You're using the information that, as oncology nurses, we like and love, but we're having to cross it out and say, 'Just read this portion and just do this here.' And that can be challenging for the nurse and probably confusing for the patient," ONS member Brandy Thornberry, RN, OCN®, outpatient infusion and VAD supervisor at Logan Health in Kalispell, MT, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about education for patients receiving antineoplastic drugs for non-oncology indications. Taylor also spoke with ONS members Lizzy McMahon, BSN, RN, OCN®, and Jennifer Lynch, BSN, RN, TCTCN™, about general antineoplastic treatment education and tailoring education in the stem cell transplantation setting.

Highlights From This Episode McMahon: "A great question would be to ask the patient what they already know and what they're most concerned about or what their biggest questions are. This way, the nurse can tailor their education to make sure to focus on what the patient doesn't know yet and what they're most concerned about, while still touching on all the required education topics. … It's also important for nurses to continually be assessing the patient's readiness to learn throughout the education session, looking for nonverbal cues or verbal signs that the patient is overwhelmed or anxious because this is going to interfere with their ability to take in new information." TS 3:49 Thornberry: "A lot of the education sheets and the products for them explain it like, 'This is cancer,' and more of an oncology perspective, so occasionally [non-oncology patients] can show up and be confused by it. I do feel like they come a little bit less prepared than our oncology patients. Our rheumatologists and neurologists, they sure try, but they just don't have the support in that realm either. They're full of every question you can imagine. They've never been to an infusion room. They don't know what to bring. Can they drink water and have their meds beforehand? It's a full gamut of really preparing them to get these for autoimmune or rheumatology-type issues." TS 14:12 Lynch: "I really want to spend time with those patients to make sure that we are not assuming that they are coming to us with any knowledge or experience. I want them to be able to come to us with questions and trust their healthcare team and really sit down with them and say, 'Okay, you don't have cancer, but we're using the word chemotherapy where we're talking about cancer drugs.'… And we're going to probably spend more time going over some of the basics about blood stem cells, types of cells that they grow into, how your body fights infection, what they're going to be at risk for. The side effects can be pretty scary when you're talking about them, especially back to back. So making sure that we are delivering the information that doesn't put them in a panic mode… A lot of reassurance, as well, and just taking into consideration that, yes, this might have this whole other layer of anxiety to it because of the unknown." TS 32:22
What does it actually take to say yes in healthcare when the system is wired to say no? In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott takes you straight into the field — from a brand-new administrator in Marietta, Georgia who's already revolutionizing her building eight days in, to a 190-patient facility in Charleston where the real conversation isn't about hospice referrals, it's about whether you have the staff to back it up. Scott gets honest about the moments where healthcare organizations talk a big game but fold when it matters — refusing acute visits to non-panel patients, locking providers into rigid workflows, and hiring bodies instead of talent. He challenges all of it. And he does it with the kind of clarity that only comes from someone who's actually in the buildings, at the dinner tables, and on the phone doing the hard work every day. From a nurse who deserves a Tesla to a wristband that could change emergency response forever, this episode is packed with real stories, bold ideas, and a simple but radical belief: that getting to the yes isn't just good business — it's the whole point of healthcare. If you're a provider, administrator, nurse, or healthcare leader who's tired of the way things have always been done, this one's for you. www.YourHealth.Org

In this episode of the Eye on AI Podcast, Craig Smith sits down with Steve Brown, founder of CureWise, to explore how agentic AI is reshaping healthcare from the patient's perspective. Steve shares the deeply personal story behind CureWise, born out of his own experience with a rare cancer diagnosis that was repeatedly missed by traditional medical pathways. The conversation dives into why modern healthcare struggles with complex, edge-case conditions, how fragmented medical data and time-constrained systems fail patients, and where AI can meaningfully help without replacing clinicians. The discussion goes deep into multi-agent AI systems, reliability through consensus, large context windows, and how AI can surface better questions rather than premature answers. Steve explains why patient education is the real unlock for better outcomes, how precision medicine depends on individualized data and genetics, and why empowering patients leads to stronger collaboration with doctors. This episode offers a grounded, practical look at AI's role in healthcare, not as a diagnostic shortcut, but as a tool for clarity, context, and better decision-making in some of the most critical moments of car Stay Updated: Craig Smith on X: https://x.com/craigssEye on A.I. on X: https://x.com/EyeOn_AI (00:00) Using Multi-Agent AI to Analyze Medical Records (04:35) Steve Brown's Tech Background and Return to Healthcare (08:25) How a Rare Cancer Diagnosis Was Initially Missed (13:55) Why Modern Medicine Struggles With Complex Cases (18:29) Multi-Agent Consensus and AI Reliability in Healthcare (24:12) Large Context Windows, RAG, and Medical Data Organization (28:24) Why CureWise Focuses on Patient Education, Not Diagnosis (33:10) Precision Medicine, Genetics, and Personalized Treatment (47:45) Why CureWise Launches Direct-to-Patient First (53:19) The Future of AI-Driven Precision Medicine

In this episode, we sit down with Sue Stewart, a 36-year survivor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and the founder of BMT InfoNet. Sue walks us through her transplant journey, beginning with a difficult diagnosis in the late 1980s and the grueling induction chemotherapy that followed. With limited treatment options, she opted for an autologous bone marrow transplant—a relatively new and uncertain procedure at the time. Despite the intense side effects, including confusion and delusions, Sue recovered and slowly rebuilt her life. Her story is one of strength and long-term resilience, shaped by medical challenges and a determination to help others facing similar paths.After surviving her transplant, Sue felt driven to understand her experience and quickly saw the gap in patient-centered information. A high-profile court case involving bone marrow donation misinformation pushed her to act. In response, she started a small newsletter to provide reliable, understandable transplant information. What began with 700 names (pre-Internet) grew rapidly and became BMT InfoNet, an organization that now supports over 20,000 people weekly with resources, educational content, and peer support.We explore how GVHD care has transformed over the decades. Sue outlines progress in diagnostics, treatment options, and the move away from long-term steroid reliance. Her organization has helped shift the focus beyond survival to long-term quality of life, leading to the creation of survivorship clinics and a deeper understanding of transplant-related complications.Sue introduces us to BMT InfoNet's key programs, including Caring Connections, which matches patients and caregivers with peers based on similar experiences. We also learn about their online, professionally moderated support groups, offered to different patient communities. These groups have been instrumental in helping individuals process their experiences and stay connected.The organization's educational materials and annual survivorship symposium continue to empower patients to become active members of their care teams. Sue emphasizes the importance of recognizing symptoms early, understanding treatment options, and advocating for proper care—especially for GVHD, which many local doctors may not fully understand.Finally, Sue shares the story of how one patient's experience with ocular GVHD and scleral lenses led to a wider medical breakthrough. It's a powerful reminder of how patients can change the landscape of care by sharing their stories. BMT InfoNet's mission remains clear: provide support, share knowledge, and give voice to those on the transplant journey.BMT InfoNet: https://www.bmtinfonet.orgContact Email: help@bmtinfonet.orgThanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:40 - Introduction to Sue Stewart01:15 - Sue's AML Diagnosis and Transplant Story06:33 - Founding BMT InfoNet10:05 - Life Before the Internet: Lack of Resources12:43 - Progress in GVHD Treatment15:25 - Peer Support Through Caring Connections17:16 - Online Moderated Support Groups18:58 - Educational Resources on GVHD21:57 - GVHD Specialist Directory24:05 - Annual Survivorship Symposium26:17 - Financial Assistance for Patients27:39 - GVHD Wall of Hope and National GVHD Day30:01 - Final Story: How Patient Experience Changed GVHD Care National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Andrew Rosen, Chief Executive Officer of the National Ataxia Foundation, has a dual mission of accelerating research for treatments and cures for Ataxia while supporting the patients affected by this rare disease. Ataxia describes both a group of hereditary genetic diseases and symptoms of lack of coordination seen in other conditions. While genetic tests exist for hereditary Ataxia, a significant challenge in drug development has been the lack of a reliable biomarker. To encourage drug development, NAF has funded translational research and the world's most extensive study for SCAs, Spinocerebellar Ataxias, providing new data on the progression of the disease and for the design of future trials. Andrew explains, "NAF has been around for a long time. We were founded in the late 1950s by a neurologist in western Minnesota who had a disease called Ataxia in his family. And NAF's mission has really been twofold ever since that. Our formal statement is that we are trying to accelerate the development of treatments and a cure while working to improve the lives of those living with Ataxia. And so we really focus on research and support. We do a lot in the research world. We fund grants for researchers who are looking into the various types of Ataxia. You'd be hard pressed to find an Ataxia researcher in the world, I think I can say now at this point that hasn't received a grant from NAF at one time or another in their career. We also do a lot of translational-type research. We fund the largest natural history study in Ataxias." "So, the term ataxia itself is even complex because it both describes a genetic disease, and I think of that as capital 'A' - Ataxia, but it's also a symptom of many other conditions. So small 'a', if you will. Ataxia just means a lack of coordination. It comes from a Greek word. And so what I mean by both hereditary and other things is if you, for instance, have too much to drink, you would show signs of Ataxia. You might stumble when you walk, and your speech might be slurred. Those are the two classic symptoms of hereditary Ataxia. Right. So that's really the Ataxias that we at NAF focus on. So hereditary, as in passed from parent to child, there are several hundred forms of hereditary Ataxia, and they continue to find more as more specific genetic mutations are discovered year after year now." #NationalAtaxiaFoundation #Ataxia #PatientAdvocacy #RareDisease #SCA ataxia.org Listen to the podcast here
Andrew Rosen, Chief Executive Officer of the National Ataxia Foundation, has a dual mission of accelerating research for treatments and cures for Ataxia while supporting the patients affected by this rare disease. Ataxia describes both a group of hereditary genetic diseases and symptoms of lack of coordination seen in other conditions. While genetic tests exist for hereditary Ataxia, a significant challenge in drug development has been the lack of a reliable biomarker. To encourage drug development, NAF has funded translational research and the world's most extensive study for SCAs, Spinocerebellar Ataxias, providing new data on the progression of the disease and for the design of future trials. Andrew explains, "NAF has been around for a long time. We were founded in the late 1950s by a neurologist in western Minnesota who had a disease called Ataxia in his family. And NAF's mission has really been twofold ever since that. Our formal statement is that we are trying to accelerate the development of treatments and a cure while working to improve the lives of those living with Ataxia.

From Surgeon to CEO: Prof. Marc Possover's Inspiring Journey in Medical Innovation The journey from a successful surgical career to the leadership of a medical company is far from ordinary. Yet for Prof. Marc Possover, this evolution felt like a natural extension of his life's mission: to improve patient outcomes and expand access to advanced treatments in pelvic neurosurgery. In this exclusive episode of the Medical Device Made Easy Podcast, host Monir El Azzouzi invites Prof. Possover to share his story—one that blends clinical excellence, entrepreneurial vision, and a deep commitment to education. A Career Built on Medical Breakthroughs Prof. Possover is internationally recognized as a pioneer in neuropelveology, a specialty dedicated to treating complex pelvic nerve disorders. Over the years, he has developed innovative procedures that offer hope to patients suffering from chronic pain and dysfunctions once considered untreatable. But his ambition has always reached beyond the operating room. By founding his own medical company, he sought to transform groundbreaking surgical techniques into accessible, reproducible therapies that benefit patients worldwide. Why a Surgeon Became a CEO Moving from the precision of surgery to the strategic demands of business might seem like a dramatic shift, but for Prof. Possover it was a continuation of his mission. Becoming a CEO meant taking responsibility not only for individual patients but for the future of the treatments themselves. Leadership allowed him to guide product development, secure resources, and create an ecosystem where new therapies could flourish well beyond his own practice. As he explains in the podcast, “At some point I will retire—or die—but what will remain are the colleagues I trained.” His decision to lead a company ensures that his techniques will survive and continue to evolve, creating impact that outlasts any single career. Patient Education as a Driving Force Throughout the conversation, Prof. Possover emphasizes the vital role of patient education. When patients are aware of new treatment options, they actively seek qualified specialists, creating a natural demand for innovation. This patient-driven movement pressures the medical community to adopt cutting-edge solutions and ensures that life-changing therapies reach those who need them most. By offering information sessions and open discussions, he empowers patients to become advocates for their own health—transforming the doctor–patient relationship into a true partnership. Building a Global Legacy Through Training Prof. Possover's passion for teaching is at the heart of his work. Through the International School of Neuropelveology (ISNP), he trains surgeons from around the world in these advanced procedures. Every surgeon he educates becomes a multiplier of knowledge, capable of treating patients in regions far beyond his own reach. This dedication reflects a philosophy that medicine's greatest achievements are collective. A breakthrough is only meaningful if it can be shared, replicated, and improved upon by future generations. Lessons for Medical Professionals and Entrepreneurs This conversation is more than an inspiring personal story—it is a roadmap for anyone seeking to combine medicine, innovation, and business. Clinical expertise can fuel entrepreneurship when paired with strategic thinking. Patient awareness accelerates adoption, creating a powerful feedback loop between innovation and demand. Education builds permanence, ensuring that treatments survive beyond the careers of their pioneers. Whether you are a surgeon curious about entrepreneurship, a MedTech innovator looking for guidance, or a healthcare professional eager to create lasting change, Prof. Possover's journey demonstrates that the skills learned in medicine—discipline, precision, and empathy—are the very qualities that can drive successful leadership. In this podcast, Monir El Azzouzi and Prof. Marc Possover invite you to reflect on the future of healthcare. Their discussion shows that true medical progress lies not only in discovering new treatments, but also in ensuring that knowledge is shared, patients are informed, and innovations continue to thrive long after their creators have left the stage.

How future doctors are navigating social media's impact on public education. How can a well-meaning medfluencer be sure they're actually helping? M1 Zach Grissom, M2 Fallon Jung, M3 Jeff Goddard, and M4 Matt Engelken sit down with third-year DO student Nik Bletnitsky to discuss the role of social media in medical education. Current and Future doctors are increasingly using these platforms to share medical knowledge—but, even if you're careful to offer the best information, what are the hidden dangers? The conversation covers the sometimes blurry line between education, misinformation, and contradicting someone's doctor's advice. How disclaimers work (or don't), and why the Dunning-Kruger effect can turn a curious patient into an overconfident self-diagnoser. Should doctors be influencers? Can patients trust what they see online? And is it possible to make medical knowledge accessible without accidentally making things worse?
