The Patient Orator, with Kistein Monkhouse, MPA

A recent study showed that it takes a doctor 11 seconds to interrupt a patient. My guest today is Kistein Monkhouse, a public health expert and patient advocate advocating for health equity. She is the CEO and founder of Patient Orator, a HIPAA-compliant digital health mobile app that improves how people talk to doctors and how doctors talk to people. Kistein speaks softly but carries a big stick and, with her immigrant backstory, demonstrates the power of perseverance, empathy, and entrepreneurship to make a dent in the universe for the patient community. Please enjoy this extraordinarily authentic conversation.

From Chinese Linguist to Chief Medical Officer

My guest today is Dr. Richard Parker, Chief Medical Officer at Arcadia, an exciting venture focused on using "big data" to ensure the right information about care is delivered to the right patient when needed. What a concept! For the math nerds out there, they harness millions of data points—like your diagnosis, medications, zip code, etc.—to create a sort of flowchart and navigation tool. Rich tells me it's not Skynet, and we are not at the dawn of a robot apocalypse. What's even more interesting is how Rich got started in his career in Chinese linguistics and how that enabled him to his role as Chief Medical Officer for Beth Israel Deaconess in Massachusetts. Oh, and we rifle through the 1980s and compare notes on how dangerous playgrounds used to be. Enjoy the show.
