ZS
Patient Centricity is a ZS podcast focused on unpacking the provocative insights featured in the book, “Reinventing Patient Centricity: Bringing Patient-led Business Models to Life,” published in May 2022. Over the course of 12 chapters, coauthors Sharon Suchotliff, associate principal at ZS, and Hensley Evans, principal at ZS, explore opportunities for life sciences companies to move beyond the buzzwords and adopt truly patient-led business models.
In the podcast series, host Victoria Summers invites colleagues and patients to examine various dimensions of patient centricity. Topics include the impact of patient centricity, new models of patient engagement, Patient Focused Drug Development (PFDD) as well as how to transform the life sciences industry and, ultimately, the patient experience. Interviewees share their expertise, discuss case studies and give voice to patient stories.
Special bonus content features patients sharing their own stories – their journey, challenges they have faced and their hopes for the future.
Hosted by Victoria Summers, principal at ZS and East Coast lead for ZS’s patient health and equity accelerator.

Through Cure VCP Disease, Inc. he is committed to bringing together patients, caregivers, researchers, pharmaceutical companies, other non-profits and investors to identify treatments and ultimately a cure for this ultra-rare, genetic disease.
