Question to the twitter-verse: do any banks do a good job of handling the death of a client with compassion? Would love examples! Both personally frustrated and HUGE unmet customer need / opportunity to build loyalty of grieving family #RBC #banking

@suerobinsyvr Couldn’t agree more. While the treatment plan and standard of care are technically strong our family’s experience has been poor.

@building_h @tacobell @blueapron Curious about how the index tackles this equity question … health only for those that can pay is a problematic too. Excited to learn more - great job!

To be clear: This is ALL about equity. Today’s unhealthy environment hurts underserved communities more than advantaged. It’s easier & cheaper to go to @Tacobell (#29) than order @blueapron (#9). ALL companies must do better for ALL people. Ideas? #BuildingHIndex #NPHW2022 6/7

The 2022 Building H Index is out today! Ranking 37 of America’s best known companies on how their products affect human health, every day. Great story in @FastCompany by @Adele_Peters. But: What is this and why did we do this? Good question… 1/7 fastcompany.com/90738739/some-…

@chrissyfarr On the other end of the age spectrum - any thoughts on why private care insurance for older adults isn’t really a thing (at least in Canada) - blissful ignorance on the part of the consumer as far as I can tell but would love other thoughts

Fertility insurance is going to be a thing axios.com/future-family-…

🎙 Welcome to our Twitter chat on ageism & the rights of older people -- part of the #AgeWithRights Global Rally. A big welcome to our special guests: The Rt. Hon. Adrienne Clarkson (@APClarkson), @picardonhealth, @MoiraWelsh, @RochonPaula, @vinodrjkn, @ShirleeSharkey

RT this! We need to protect the rights of older people. And Canada needs to sign on to the UN Convention on the Human Rights of Older People. #AgeWithRights

It's exhausting and demoralizing -- especially after two straight years of writing and tweeting about #COVID19. So I'm taking a break from Twitter. #PandemicJournalism /8

If you’re not familiar with the names on this market map, dive in! The Age Tech space is sexy - huge opportunity space for growth, impact and value creation. #health #aging #ventures thegerontechnologist.com

@chrissyfarr @MSchlueterMoore 100% - so much opportunity space here to really address a major pain point for people

Great insight from @MSchlueterMoore on lifestyle apps in health-tech. We need family-focused offerings - there's too much emphasis on the individual. For things like healthier eating/nutrition, change is hard if your partner isn't on board. Personalization has gone too far.

@MoriartyLab @picardonhealth Are these stats for adults? What about children who are not yet vaccinated or only partially vaccinated?

If you are a not yet vaccinated person 40+ living in Canada You currently have a 1 in 21 chance of being hospitalized when you get COVID, a 1 in 59 chance of ending up in ICU and a 1 in 76 chance of dying. I'm opening my DMs. Your life matters. Please message me if you need to

@IsmailZain Biggest issue hands down is lack of staff … not physical space

Where in today's health care landscape are business models optimized to promote health? Which org's are incentivized to provide longitudinal care over a 5+ year time horizon? @WillBehrmann @JayGerhart @ZeevNeuwirth @ZaynaKhayat @HelenBevanTweet where do you see bright spots?

@IrfanDhalla Can you help us to understand why the UK is not making vaccines mandatory for children but we are … curious to better understand the context bbc.com/news/health-57…

“The Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine has been shown to be safe and highly effective in young children aged 5 to 11 years, the companies announced early Monday morning.” Wonderful news! nytimes.com/2021/09/20/hea…
