Why Speech Therapy is an Effective Treatment to Counter the Health Challenge of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH)

Over recent years, the virtual speech therapy delivery model has intersected with a host of healthcare disruptions -- value-based care delivery, the COVID-19 pandemic and the influence of social determinants of health (SDoH) have reshaped healthcare delivery.

This innovation has been made much easier with the ever-present catalyst of technology and its increased patient acceptance. Speech

Wraparound Programs – An Alternative Approach to Address the Children’s Mental Health Crisis

The mental health crisis impacting America’s children requires states, parents, guardians, and behavioral health professionals to rethink how we provide treatment. For many young people, high-fidelity wraparound programs are the answer. Even before the pandemic, mental health issues were a leading cause of disability for children. The pandemic only worsened the situation. In the fall of 2020, Challenge Success conducted a national study that found that only one-third of high school students

How Community Health Investments Will Define The Future of Healthcare

Community health is more than how someone’s physical health needs are being met. It involves all the physical, social, and environmental factors — access to nutritious food, stable income and housing, education opportunities, and more. These social determinants of health, or SDoH, are interconnected and integral to the overall health of communities across the world — and healthcare systems are taking note.   With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear one person’s health could

How Continuous Glucose Monitoring Can Alleviate Language Barriers in Diabetes Care

As an endocrinologist with 19 years of experience in treating patients with diabetes, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that communication is key. Patients with diabetes live with the heavy burden of making choices and taking action every single day to manage their blood glucose levels.

Using Data Analytics to Address Social Determinants of Health

Using Data Analytics to Address Social Determinants of Health

Americans might run on Dunkin’ — but the healthcare industry runs on data, specifically structured and unstructured data. Easily aggregated and translated into numbers for analysis, structured data lives in databases and on spreadsheets. Unstructured data, on the other hand, is more complex. You can’t use conventional tools to process or analyze it. Yet while it’s messy and hard to organize, it’s incredibly valuable. And one type of unstructured data is human conversations, including

Should I Get Another Booster? How Doctors Can Help Patients Navigate the Next Phase of COVID-19

The general consensus is that COVID-19 in some form is here to stay. As people come to terms with this reality, primary care providers may be getting more questions from patients – especially older and immunocompromised ones – asking for advice on how to handle different situations. Should I get another booster? Can I start traveling? Is it OK to go to a wedding next weekend? How cautious do I need to be in social settings? The answers to these questions aren’t always clear. A lot depends on

ConcertAI CEO Talks COVID-19 & The De-Risking of Technology to Keep Trials Moving

Nothing like it had ever happened before – a global slowdown in new study starts and a massive decrease in trial accruals for open studies. The turn of events was a shock for sponsors and providers. Sudden disruptions on that scale rarely hit multiple players in an ecosystem at the same time. But that’s exactly what happened at the intersection of clinical care and clinical development during the pandemic. Researchers and clinicians were forced to change how they operated trials, and
