Manage episode 343924968 series 3242761
Today’s interview is with Ben Schwartz, the Chief Innovation Officer of Healent and a LinkedIn 2020 Top Voice.
Healent is a remote patient monitoring (RPM) platform that is dedicated to supporting patients with Musculoskeletal issues (think bone, muscles, joint pain, arthritis, orthopedic surgery, etc.). Healent uses technology to help patients monitor and manage their arthritis, deliver virtual physical therapy, support patients before and after surgery, and connects patients with their care delivery teams.
A few topics we cover:
1.) How virtual care can decrease rates of urgent care utilization while also improving patient outcomes.
2.) How does surgery need to evolve beyond the operating room?
3.) How do you convince doctors to use your platform when they have a negative bias toward technology?
4.) How can geography impact your business? Can it make or break your business model?
5.) How has COVID affected the pricing models for telehealth services?
