This week on PopHealth Week, Fred Goldstein had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Ashley Reynolds, Chief Product and Experience Officer at Glytec, a health tech company revolutionizing the management of glycemic control in healthcare settings. With a dynamic career path that began in the Navy as a corpsman and evolved through nursing, emergency care, and a Ph.D. in digital health, Ashley brings a unique perspective to the healthcare industry. His journey is a testament to his passion for transforming patient care through technology. Ashley's journey into healthcare began in an unexpected way. Originally a pre-med student, financial constraints led him to join the military, where he served as a Navy corpsman—essentially a combat medic. This early experience laid the foundation for his nursing career, where he worked in intensive and critical care settings. It was here that he discovered a passion for understanding the "why" behind patients' health conditions. This curiosity led him to pivot into population health and eventually to pursue a Ph.D. focused on how digital tools can drive behavioral change in healthcare. Over the years, Ashley has held leadership roles in health tech startups and healthcare systems, leading to her current role at Glytec, where he oversees product and customer experience with a focus on leveraging technology for better clinical outcomes.

Hosts Gregg Masters and Fred Goldstein meet Caitlin Donovan, Global Head of Uber Health. The Uber Health platform helps improve patient care by enabling healthcare organizations to arrange rides and services on behalf of others by using a centralized, easy-to-use dashboard or an API. We discuss their role in the healthcare industry, being a new player that brings innovative solutions to address patients' needs with the technical processes they already know and manage well. Just like their well-known service, Uber Health counts on independent earners that can transport patients or deliver medications to them, an option that can benefit people like seniors, patients with complex chronic conditions, and employees who work for self-insured employers. Caitlin discusses Uber Health's approach to overcoming care barriers and addressing patients' social determinants of health by designing benefits for them and aligning incentives across healthcare. She also speaks about the three different ways they help employers facilitate access to care for their employees, and why it's important to scale solutions while still meeting individual needs.
