They are committed to taking the member experience up a notch by doing whatever it takes both internally and through strategic partnerships. They plan to reinvent and simplify antiquated workflows, while aligning incentives in cost and clinical data sharing that may have been antagonistic in the past. Their methods may be different, but their focus is the same: to take a system that has been in place for decades and completely transform it!

When a little girl became paralyzed, she and her dad jumped into action to find a solution. They set out to build a robotic exoskeleton arm brace that would attempt to pick up signals from her damaged motor neurons and use them as a control signal for the exoskeleton. Their odyssey is a testament, not only to the kindness of strangers and the indomitable will of a little girl, but also to the fact that patients can create their own personalized solutions.

2. What Matters Most: A Radically Simple Solution To Transforming Healthcare
Working with people at times of serious illness or at the end of their lives brings an urgency and focus to getting to know a patient’s goals and values for treatment and care.
