🎤 Maria Hahn, CEO of Nutrix, recently moderated a panel discussion at the Open Mic Next in Health Series on the topic of “Turning the tide: Patient engagement in industry and practice”. The event was developed to explore ways to actively involve patients in their healthcare journey and improve outcomes.

Here are some key takeaways from the engaging discussion:

• Actively involving patients in their healthcare journey is crucial for improving outcomes. By doing so, healthcare providers can align their services with the needs and priorities of patients, leading to more effective and personalized care.
• We need a cultural reset in healthcare. There is a need for a shift in attitudes and practices to systematically involve patients in health tech innovation and decision-making at all levels of care. This collaborative approach ensures that patients become active partners in their own health management.
• Building trust between patients and healthcare providers, life sciences companies, and policy-makers is essential. Transparent communication, respect for autonomy, and ethical practices help foster trust and strengthen the patient-provider relationship. This trust plays a vital role in facilitating patient engagement and driving positive healthcare outcomes.

The panel discussion was an insightful exploration of the importance of patient engagement in healthcare. Nutrix remains committed to driving patient-centric solutions and continuing the dialogue on ways to involve patients in the industry and practice. Together, we can create a healthcare system that places patients at the center and empowers them to take control of their own health and well-being.
