Dr. Melynda Barnes, Ro, on why we should all be bullish about telemedicine

The Pulse by Wharton Digital Health

In this episode of The Pulse Podcast, Lora interviews Dr. Melynda Barnes, Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs at Ro. Lora and Dr. Barnes discuss why Ro's mission and why the company views telemedicine as such a critical component of clinical care in the future (spoiler alert: Ro is not trying to replace in-person visits!). They also talk about Dr. Barnes' transition from clinical practice to working at a tech company. We recorded our episode with Dr. Barnes just weeks before COVID-19 broke out in New York City but, where relevant, we've added editors notes in our Medium transcript to share more about how Ro and the team have responded to this situation so promptly.
