@DarrelFrater Hi, thanks for responding. What is the best way to connect you with our CEO Stephanie? She isn't on Twitter

@DarrelFrater Hey Darrell, I am working with OKKO health who prevent blindness. Using clinical eye tests turned into mobile games. Generating revenue and major pharma investor. Would love to connect you with the CEO

Any founders interested in pitching Bread and Butter Ventures this week? They're a Minnesota based venture capital firm typically investing $1M checks globally into Pre-Seed and Seed companies building in Digital Health, B2B SaaS, and FoodTech. I'd love to get you connected.

my quick thoughts on the walmart primary care stuff 1) it's virtually impossible to make primary care economics work unless it's a loss-leader to other services or takes risk. Maybe one of the reasons CVS pushes forward while all the others push back is because of the attached payer (Aetna) 2) It's doubly hard when your company is evaluated by retail metrics instead of healthcare (e.g. sales per square foot) 3) honestly I think one of the only ways we're going to change rural healthcare is by totally expanding scope of practice for pharmacists/caregivers to do way more clinical things (maybe with AI-assisted tools) because part of what makes these models so untenable is staffing costs for clinicians (see @dp_oneill tweet x.com/dp_oneill/stat…) 4) I think it's easy to look at the telemedicine companies shutting down like Optum, Walmart but almost all of them have implemented some of the worst version of telemedicine - taking the same face-to-face modality and putting it online. I think maybe this is the end for urgent care telemedicine as a business, but I think a risk-based chronic care management (telemedicine + in-person) is still totally untapped 5) It's ...sad? I think of all companies Walmart had the best chance of delivering differentiated primary care in rural areas. I hope another company with a strong rural presence tries again

You may have seen a piece on BBC News yesterday which discussed transition to adult services for seriously ill children. It may have raised questions and emotions for your family. This resource aims to answer questions you may have about the process. togetherforshortlives.org.uk/get-support/su…

I had a huge breakthrough experience on a @mymindbloom ketamine journey a while back. I wrote it up as a blog post and it’s vaguely surreal to see the company share the post. Destigmatize getting the help you need.

Britain is in a vicious loop of: council budget cuts -> closure of public sports centres/pools/football -> more sedentary behaviour -> rise in chronic disease -> rise in healthcare costs -> council budget cuts -> repeat. A downwards spiral to poor health.

Your adolescent patients are anxious about bracing. Their parents are anxious about surgery. Try and cater your education to them and don't be afraid to refer them to online resources--misinformation in these forums was not as rampant as I expected!

remote patient monitoring has just made me kind of sad as a category A tool that really could help patients in their care journey has instead been focused on increasing billables to practices with largely very little meaningful change to their care plans

Mental health conditions are more common in people with #cerebralpalsy than the general population. Accessing mental health treatment allows people with CP to live their healthiest lives. Check how our integrated mental health has impacted families this past year.

@OoredooOman I have been trying unsuccessfully to a) put Dubai roaming add ons for my 4 tourist Sims b) register via the online portal c) call you How do I get this resolved?

The hardest businesses to make work in health care are oriented around long-term prevention. Not because the outcomes are poor or the evidence isn't there... But because no one in the system is incentivized to care. Most insurers see their members churn out within 7 years.

“Bacteria store 'memories' and pass them on for generations, study finds” What was considered wild speculation and almost shouted down is now confirmed: bacteria store memories in a manner we overlooked and do not fully understand. This is big. Article: phys.org/news/2023-11-b…

Statistically, this is what #founders get wrong when pitching to #VCs... This is the breakdown, ranked by flag. Green means go, red means fundraising impossible. Anyway - as a pitch nerd, I find this absolutely fascinating. Let me pull out some of the highlights... 1/

Interesting using some generative AI tools and how it struggles with certain accents
