  • Episode 39: Building Communities To Improve Patient Access & Outcomes w/ Jess Ackerman, VP at Responsum Health
    Jul 20 2023
    What you’ll get out of this episodeListen in as host Tim Fitzpatrick chats with Jess Ackerman, VP of Strategic Partnerships and Impact at Responsum Health, about her experiences across healthcare and technology, including her path from Speech Language Pathology to patient-facing roles at health tech startups. Today, Jess leads partnerships for Responsum Health, a mission-driven digital health tech company that has built empowered, informed communities of patients with chronic health conditions to drive better outcomes and to strategically align them with resources, clinical trials and best options for their health. Responsum Health knows how to build communities, and fast.In this episode you’ll discover:How Jess and her team have launched and grown communities in as little as 3 weeks alongside their sponsor partners.Patient communities the Responsum Health team has helped so far, including menopause, chronic kidney disease (CKD), long-COVID, glaucoma, COPD, and even rare diseases like pulmonary fibrosis and Sanfilippo syndrome.How Responsum reduces clinical burden and improves communication, because patients can go to their doctor with a baseline level of education. Because of this, providers can perform at the top of their license and spend more time on treatment information rather than the basics.How Responsum engages patients with resources and education to help prepare a baseline for those initial conversations with their care team, and how this leads to better outcomes like recruitment, adherence, engagement, and reduced hospitalizations.Why the greatest barrier and competition to Responsum’s mission is the status quo, and what it will take to help patients, providers, and communities thrive if we can change it.Final Frontier - 5 Questions in 50 SecondsTop Challenge: Adoption of digital health tools Top Opportunity: Meeting patients where they areTech Trend You’re Following: Using our voices as diagnostic toolsPower of vocal quality as a health tracker (e.g. Sonde Health)Top Media Recs: The Humans by Matt HaigMad Honey by Jodi PicoultAuthor Elizabeth StroutThe Scent Keeper by Erica BauermeisteHealthcare / Tech Leader(s) You’re Following: T-Minus 10 guests are at the top of my list! 🚀🎉 Quotables“ Our Medicare community is quick to jump on the mobile apps and platforms.

What I mean by that, is we were coaching people to explore their emotions. From the basics of even labeling emotions and understanding mindfulness around your emotions to regulating them and to much more sophisticated ways of interacting using emotional language and expression. We even used to host improv classes to help people explore.” @HillaryLin #joinCurio on Ep37 @T-Minus10 w/ @trfitzpatrick.

DEA, SAMHSA Extend COVID-19 Telemedicine Flexibilities for Prescribing Controlled Medications for Six Months While Considering Comments from the Public Join the ConversationHillary Lin on LinkedInHillary Lin on TwitterCurio on Medium“I am a physician and founder of a mental healthtech startup (Curio). So what are my thoughts on emotional chatbots? At the time of writing, I'm undecided because this realm is still developing as we speak. I think early versions of emotional support chatbots will not feel incredibly fulfilling or validating to most users. However, there is a world where people may be so socialized to AI entities that they will feel at home interacting with them. For now, I'm more interested in how AI can help us think and stay accountable to our own goals. More of a coach, perhaps, than a therapist. The New York Times published an article on Inflection AI's Pi companion, which seems to validate this feeling. "With a level of enthusiasm only a robot could muster before coffee, Pi pushed me to break down my to-do list to create a realistic plan. Like much of the bot’s advice, it was obvious and simple, the kind of thing you would read in a self-help article by a productivity guru. But it was tailored specifically to me — and it worked.I'm curious to hear from people who have tried interacting with the latest emotional chatbots - what did you think about your experience?” (LinkedIn)“ 🎉 Breaking News for Digital Health Companies 🌐💊 The DEA has decided to extend the current COVID-19 telemedicine flexibilities for the prescription of controlled medications while they continue to consider the 38,000 comments received on their proposed telemedicine rules. This decision reflects a recognition of the essential role that telemedicine plays in providing Americans with access to necessary medications, and it is a significant milestone for companies like Curio. Our services, which include care navigation, coaching, therapy, medication management, and ketamine-assisted therapy, will continue to be available for those struggling with mental health challenges. We await further details on the draft Temporary Rule and its implications for digital health. This extension will enable us to continue offering transformative ketamine treatments virtually to those who need it most, bridging the gap between patients and quality care. 🙌💡” (LinkedIn)About Your HostTim Fitzpatrick is the CEO of IKONA Health, a company using neurobiology and immersive technology to improve how ...
