Manage episode 421240896 series 2969805
70% of U.S. adults have accessed health information online in the past year.
A revealing statistic, highlighting the increasing reliance on digital resources for healthcare guidance.
As this week’s guest, Susannah Fox, illuminates, patient-led healthcare holds tremendous potential for transforming our health systems. With her extensive experience as a distinguished researcher and former Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Susannah is at the forefront of this revolution.
In this episode, Susannah shares insights from her new book, "Rebel Health," an action-oriented and radically hopeful field guide to an underground, patient-led movement. She explores the roles of seekers, solvers, networkers, and champions within the ecosystem of patient-led healthcare, emphasizing the power of the internet as a place for community, collaboration, and connection.
Susannah discusses how re-imagining the patient-clinician dynamic can counteract misinformation and foster better health outcomes. She highlights the importance of including patients in the development of healthcare tools, warning against repeating past mistakes.
Her message is clear: technology, when used for good, can connect us in powerful ways. "You are not alone," Susannah assures. "There are people who would love to help you if only they knew how to find you."
Together, we can forge new links between innovators and those in power, learn from our past, and harness technology to build a more inclusive, supportive, and effective healthcare system.
