This week's episode is with Nick Dawson. Nick is a leader in health care human centered design. Nick has worked with organizations like Stanford Medicine X and Kaiser Permanente to embed human centered design techniques and philosophies into the health care delivery system. He is also an avid runner and outdoorsman with a huge passion for skiing. Nick and his fiance recently said goodbye to the Bay Area (for now) to explore and find inspiration in the Montana wilderness. Some highlights from our conversation: How running helps us tap into our state of flow and “negative space” that allows for the best design work to happen How human centered design in health care went from being a carve-out, niche thing to something that is now considered essential to any health care organization The nuances between US health care and overall attitudes towards health vs. that of other countries The challenges of tying health insurance to employment, especially for professional athletes What it would mean to become a “Healthist” Finding community in unexpected places and how to design for that The power of organizations who take the time to clearly articulate their values and stand behind them Follow Nick on Twitter @nickdawson, on Instagram @nickpdawson, and follow his training on Strava.

Being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis means learning to live with a whole new set of challenges. Rising to meet those challenges and learning how to thrive in spite of those challenges is called resilience. But resilience isn't something that you're necessarily born with. Just like a muscle, resilience is something that you can choose to develop. My guest, Dr. Brandon Beaber, specializes in treating people living with MS and he's the author of Resilience in the Face of Multiple Sclerosis, a book that profiles some of his patients who have demonstrated great resilience in the face of MS and provides evidence-based tools on how you can develop your personal resilience. I see it as a how-to guide for living better with MS. And we'll tell you how you can get your free copy! We're also talking about why National Voter Registration Day should be important to everyone affected by MS or any other chronic illness. And we'll tell you where to sign up for the MS Society's upcoming Facebook Live workshop. We have a lot to talk about!

#091 — From Doctor to CEO: A New Vision for Healthcare Our current healthcare system focuses on the disease, rather than the person. A patient spends a few minutes with a doctor, and then they’re handed a stack of prescriptions that address their symptoms. What if we stopped to ask what was causing the problem in the first place? What if we took the time to look at the whole person and create a customized plan to help them live their happiest, healthiest life? Dr. Robin Berzin recognizes that our current system is broken, and she is on a mission to design a new way of doing healthcare in our country. She made the transition from doctor to CEO to found Parsley Health, a revolutionary kind of service that integrates technology, nutrition, wellness, and prevention into innovative primary care. Today, Robin joins me to share her shift from medicine to entrepreneurship, explaining the series of events that inspired her to create this new system of primary care. She describes her experience running a company as a new mom, navigating the challenges of launching new offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco during her pregnancy and pausing the second round of funding to deliver her son. I ask Robin about the principles of functional medicine, and she discusses Parsley Health’s commitment to the happiness and health of each patient as a whole person. Listen in for Robin’s insight on fertility and IVF—and learn how she is revolutionizing healthcare in the US.

In this talk from SMACC Chicago 2015, Larry Chu takes a step back from the clinical side of things to discuss Innovating Medical Education. Dr Larry Chu is an Associate Professor of Anaesthesiology and the Executive Director of Stanford Medicine X. Medicine X is an initiative from the Stanford AIM lab. It is a project aimed at promoting new ideas for the future of medicine, healthcare and education using emerging technologies. It focuses on empowering patients to participated in their own healthcare and improving medical education and training to focus more on patient-centered medicine. Each year, Medicine X holds a conference in which they explore theses themes. In 2015 the team from Stanford held a spin-off conference called Medicine X Ed. This conference focused on the future of medical education and the role of technology in educational innovation as well as continuing the theme of the changes that are fundamental for establishing more patient-focused health care. This conference was held in September 2015. At SMACC Chicago, Larry Chu shared a sneak-peak into some of the exciting medical education innovations that were going to be explored at Medicine X Edu. During his talk, Larry Chu shared insights into why traditional teaching methods don’t work for millennials aka gen Y, the successful educational programs being used in the US for their anaesthetics trainees and new ideas for structuring the delivery of effective medical education. For all trainees, in particular those with impending exams, and for all teachers/lecturers/educators this is an interesting and thought provoking lecture to listen to! Yet again proving why SMACC is the most dynamic, well rounded, original conference around!
