Kate Brown is head of Mercer's Center for Health Innovation and is an expert in managing and improving employee population health through corporate wellness initiatives. Brown also holds a master's degree in kinesiology and a Certified Employee Benefit Specialist (CEBS) designation.  

In this episode, Brown discusses the latest trends and disruptive innovations in the employer-sponsored healthcare space. These include the pros and cons of the rapid adoption of digital healthcare solutions, what healthcare will look like in 2030, the threat posed to current virtual care providers by big tech, and the enormous potential of remote patient monitoring (RPM) technology to revolutionize the future of healthcare.  

Brown identifies the current state of 'fragmented virtual care' as one of the most pressing concerns in the virtual healthcare space. This phenomenon occurs when an employee receives treatment for several different conditions from separate care providers. Since these conditions are essentially being treated in isolation, employees are at risk of poor outcomes, while duplicate billing can affect employers. The underlying issue is that patient data is siloed, and subsequently, holistic, cost-effective treatment is hindered. Listen to Brown's intuition on solving this problem and others through her fresh mindset.

New & noteworthy

Here comes 23andMe

• DNA testing company 23andMe took its first drug to clinical trial, using clinical insights derived from saliva test DNA results from consumers.
• This news, coupled with 23andMe’s recent acquisition of telehealth platform, Lemonaid Health, indicates the newly-public company’s intentions to grow beyond DNA testing and into personalized medicine.

That no good, very bad word: COVID-19

• Just when we thought we were out of the hot water, COVID-19 surges have forced hospitals to postpone elective surgeries … again.
• For hospitals and health systems, pausing elective surgeries means pausing critical revenue streams while patients’ untreated symptoms often worsen.
• Hospitalizations due to COVID-19 seem to be plateauing in major metropolitan markets.

The advertising market, party of three

• Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon are projected to account for 50% of the $1 trillion ad market by 2025, including non-digital advertising.
• If you’re a small business, you’re probably running digital ads, which means that your reliance on these three companies is greater than that of a big brand.

ICYMI: Advocate Aurora at J.P. Morgan Health Care Conference

• In addition to being a non-profit hospital system, Advocate Aurora is moving to become a health-related company and gave a rundown of its latest moves to do so.
• This year, the system will continue to invest in “become[ing] more evolved in healthcare beyond just hospitals and doctors,” Advocate Aurora CEO Jim Skogsbergh said.
• Advocate Aurora detailed how it is buying stakes in innovative consumer health tools. This investment includes a 20% stake in the telenutrition business FoodSmart and the complete acquisition of the home care and wellness company Senior Helpers. The system also bought a 17% stake in the digital and analytics platform Xealth.

The latest trends in telehealth

Virtual care on the decline

• Virtual care, which boomed during 2020, has reportedly experienced a significant decline in consumer usage in 2021.
• It would be interesting to know if this decline results from lower demand for virtual care or lower supply. Do consumers no longer want virtual care, or are their health systems not supplying it?
• Some data shows that no shows were significantly higher with telehealth which could de-incentivize providers to offer virtual care services.
• Telehealth was primed for its big moment but ultimately disappointed many because the industry failed to integrate it into the patient experience.

When consumers prefer telehealth

• A month ago, eMarketer released a US Telehealth Trends 2022 report, which found that the number one reason people use virtual is to avoid contracting a disease.
• While adoption is low, it could be possible that the market hasn’t reached the tipping point where telehealth will prevail yet. If you look to other industries, it took time for consumers to become comfortable with a digital experience, so perhaps healthcare is no different.
• Health systems need to prepare themselves for when consumers are ready to embrace telehealth because those leading the charge will end up on top.

Takeaways

CES took place during the recording of this episode. The No Normal team reviewed the health trends and technologies featured at the event. 

A health perspective on the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022 

• Health had a more prominent presence at this year's CES than in previous years. For the first time, a healthcare executive took the main stage.
• Abbot CEO Robert Ford delivered a keynote presentation on human-powered health, talking about topics such as at-home testing, biome-based medical nutrition, and wearable sensors.
• This spotlight on health at a consumer goods conference is interesting because it demonstrates the blurring of lines between healthcare, retail, and the consumer world.
• Whereas medical devices used to be associated with healthcare alone, brands commonly feature these technologies at major consumer electronics events.

Health technologies that made a splash at CES

• Senglad Smart Health Monitoring Light: The WiFi- and Bluetooth-connected Lightbulbs track consumers' heart rate and sleeping patterns throughout the household. This technology is an alternative to on-body sensors.
• Withings Body Scan Smart Scale: Withings' scale goes beyond standard measurements, offering users insights into body composition per body part. It also makes ECG measurements for atrial fibrillation, vascular health, and changes in nerve activity — all of which users can send to doctors directly from the scale.
• Sleep Number 360 Smart Bed: Sleep number debuted changes to its 360 Smart Bed. The bed, which already detects movement and makes adjustments automatically, could detect illnesses and disorders like insomnia, sleep apnea, or cardiac events in the future.
• Toto Wellness Toilet: Toilet retailers have presented at CES for the past few years. This year, Toto launched its Wellness Toilet, which scans the user and "key outputs" to determine the individual's level of wellness.
• Mind-controlled earbuds: These earbuds use a neural interface to control music and answer calls by detecting users' neural or facial movement activity.
• With all of these advancements, the health industry still has a long way to go. In fact, 70% of U.S. hospitals still rely on fax machines to communicate patient records.

Personalization meets privacy

• Consumer preference for personalization has been a hot topic for a while, but what's interesting now is how the trend increasingly clashes with consumer privacy concerns.
• According to Forrester, 72% of consumers only engage with marketing messages tailored to their interest, but 86% are concerned about data privacy. How do we meet both needs when they work against each other?
• In this new world of consumer health sensors and a growing amount of consumer health data, privacy concerns will likely become an even larger topic of discussion.
• This weight on privacy is also evidenced by the whopping 96%  of users who deny applications access to cross-tracking on Apple devices.
• Enforcers are also cracking down on data privacy. In fact, France recently fined Google and Facebook millions of dollars for failure to obtain proper consent for data tracking.
• Which organizations do consumers trust the most with their data? Around 50% of respondents identified Amazon as the most trusted data steward, above Apple, Google, and even banks.
• We explore the personalization of healthcare — what we call the Copernican Consumer — and its relation to privacy preferences in our upcoming book, Joe Public 2030.

Splintered societies

• Our book, Joe Public 2030, also predicts The Rise of Health Sects, splintering societies based on political affiliation related to health.
• This phenomenon is commonly referred to as political tribalism. However, tribalism may not be the correct term as the language implies ancestry, race, or culture.
• In-group and out-group dynamics dramatically shape individual value systems and political views. When individuals belong to a group, they will look to those they trust — their group — for signals on how to think.
• The way someone thinks or acts on a health issue is highly correlated with their political affiliation. We've seen that with masking and vaccination, and other health-related issues.
• In 2022 this trend will continue, which will have implications for brand strategy, creative, and business in general.
• Historically brands have focused on speaking to "universal truths." In this new age of splintered societies, we can no longer group our audiences as we have in the past, just based on age or demographics. We need to go beyond traditional consumer segmentation and lean into the power of group influence. As marketers, we need to reevaluate how we partner with trusted entities across different groups.

Takeaways

Technological Innovation Meets Reality 

• Patient volume has increased exponentially since the 80s, making time the most significant commodity for health systems and physicians.
• With narrow margins, health systems cannot sacrifice patient volume and therefore must find ways to operate more efficiently.
• Technology is often developed independently from the clinical user experience, resulting in inefficiencies that defeat the purpose of the technology.
• Electronic medical records (EMRs) can add value to health systems. However, if developed without the patient and clinician experience in mind, EMRs can become too cumbersome for patient and clinician needs.

Tales from the "dark side" 

Examples of what goes wrong when innovators don't understand clinical needs:  

• Carolyn gave the example of EMR prescription entries. With a pen and paper, it would typically take 30 seconds. But with numerous fields and seemingly infinite options, writing scripts has become time-consuming.
• More input options are not necessarily better, as too many choices can become overwhelming. A clinical perspective could help developers prioritize EMR fields.
• The patient's user experience is often missed in technology development because their convenience isn't always factored into development decisions.
• For example, Chris worked with a health system that was implementing a new EMR. The marketing team was brought into the project after the developers had created multiple logins for patients across different units (hospital, urgent care, primary care clinics). Had the patient experience been considered, only one login would be necessary.

Technology done right 

• Before EMRs, patients communicated with providers via fax and received responses through the mail. This process didn't allow clinicians to confirm that patients had received their messages.
• New EMR technology allowed Carolyn to close the communication loop by notifying her when the patient had received her communications.
• Machine learning for prescriptions is another example of a positive technology-to-clinical experience in which the technology made recommendations based on past prescriptions.

Improving the patient experience

• Clinicians know that listening is crucial, but listening becomes challenging with limited time due to significant data entry requirements.
• Facilitating clinician workflows results in more time with patients to listen and understand their problems. More time with the patient leads to better connections, better diagnoses, and more referrals.
• Historically health systems have focused on the "Triple Aim" – population health, patient experience, and resource stewardship. Now, Carolyn believes it should be the "Quadruple Aim," adding clinician experience as a pillar of focus.

"Is there anything Jana doesn't do?" is a refrain I found myself pondering as this interview was happening.

A professor in the Faculty of Rehabilitation - Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Alberta, Jana is a medical researcher, an entrepreneur, and a novelist.

On this episode we start by talking about her company True Angle Medical Technologies, Jana's journey from researcher to entrepreneur, and the help that she and her partners received as they grew. We bring in Alberta Innovates' technology development advisor Mike Riou, who's been working with Jana and True Angle, to discuss the role he played. 

Along the way we tackle topics like the challenges of innovating in a health system that's, arguably, not built for speed; the need for system innovation, peer mentorship and celebrating the wins.  We cap it off with a discussion around the importance of mental health amongst entrepreneurs and a brief foray into Jana's experience as a writer.

This really is a full episode you don't want to miss!

BIO

Jana's bio is coming soon!

Shift by Alberta Innovates focuses on the people, businesses and organizations that are contributing to Alberta's strong tech ecosystem.

During the past year COVID-19 has had unprecedented impact on digital health. The situation has changed specifically in regards to telehealth and its public acceptance. In our seventh episode we chat with Tarmo Pihl, the Founder and CEO of a telehealth company MinuDoc. We talk about how to build a successful telehealth company and what components need to be in place to offer high-quality service. Tarmo also shares tips on how to expand your digital health company and scale your business to other markets. Moreover, we discuss why the healthcare market in general is especially difficult to take on and how could a national healthcare digitisation strategy help entrepreneurs to find focus as well as develop their innovative solutions further.

In this episode we dive into the world of electronic health records. Taavi Einaste, Partner at Nortal  and Board Member for COVID-19 passport SimplyGO , talks about his experience in implementing hospital information systems and EHRs in Estonia and abroad. Are there any differences between countries, when it comes to implementing EHRs? We take a look at the examples of Finland, Lithuania and Abu Dhabi, discuss why are EHRs one of the most complicated information systems out there and why is it important to always have the support of the top management of the hospital during the implementation process. Taavi also shares what has worked well in EHR implementation and explains what is the role of prototyping and visual representation in it. As Taavi's prior role was the CEO of Nortal Germany, we also take a closer look at the German healthcare market and their approach in implementing digital innovations.

In our 5th episode we talk with Uku Vainik, who is a health researcher interested in obesity, eating behaviours, and their health impact. We discuss scientific research in the field of psychology and what are the aspects that should be taken into account, when looking at human behaviour. Are specific personality traits relevant in shaping one’s behaviour and can we profile health messages in a way that they would target a specific group of people? We also discuss, when is the right time to turn to a psychology expert when designing health interventions and what are the best methods to evaluate new technologies besides RCT? Finally, Uku shares two very valuable learning points on how to stay healthy and look at the aspect of probability in your everyday life.

Get ready to sit down with Ain Aaviksoo, the Chief Medical Officer at Guardtime. Ain has been involved with innovation in healthcare from very early on and probably started the first digital health startup more than 20 years ago. In this episode we discuss, why change and innovation in healthcare takes time, but sometimes even a tiny shift can have great impact. What is the role of purpose and story in an organisation and why having enthusiasm can be an important driving force? We also touch upon the WHO Digital COVID-19 Vaccination Infrastructure cooperation project, where Guardtime will be leading the first stage of the implementation.

Tim Newns, CEO of MIDAS, joins us in the studio for our second PSE podcast, giving a deep dive into Greater Manchester’s thriving economy, and how it has benefitted from international investment.

Covering Northern Powerhouse, health innovation and the exciting things we can expect from Manchester in 2020.
 
 

With hosts Emily Rodgers and Ailsa Cowen, the conversation kept flowing here in the PSE podcast room in Manchester as we challenge Tim to the common question of ‘Is international investment hurting local people?’

Jobs and skills are a central theme to the podcast, with insight into the staggering number of career opportunities MIDAS are contributing to the region by bringing successful companies to our city. Amazon, BA systems, Boohoo, Social Chain and the BBC are among the business giants choosing to operate from Manchester and Tim’s the man to tell us why.

We also ask Tim what Manchester is hoping to attract in 2020, which, whether you are public or private sector, is not an answer you can afford to ignore.

 
 Tim is a fountain of business knowledge, with facts, figures and reasoning that make you extremely hopeful for the future, and to quote him “I absolutely believe in the international nature of this city.”
