We have now entered a universe of “determinants of health” ranging from medical debt to housing to medication access to transportation…literally all things impact health that happen outside a doctor’s office.

So is healthcare taking this into account? How are we helping those with substance abuse, rare cancers and unmanageable chronic conditions?

On today’s episode of Healthcare Rethink, host Brian Urban, sits down with Claire Manneh, Head of Provider Research at Datavant, to talk about how the intuitive approach of tokenizing data is transforming how the healthcare ecosystem is reaching patients and improving lives!
