I’ve been given advice that the fastest way to monetize HER Heard without charging the end user (woman) is trackers and selling data. Instead, I’d like to build something more trustworthy. I don’t want to be in a headline like this. If you are not paying, then you are the product (you/your data are being sold). There are newer ways to deindentify data or even to aggregate things women search for that can be of interest to various stakeholders. In theory that could be okay to sell, but in a post-Roe world with laws encouraging bounty hunting, I am vetting the choices ahead. I am all for moving fast, without breaking things.

PicassoMD and Eventus WholeHealth Announce Partnership to set a new standard in healthcare innovation and patient-centered services for individuals in long-term care settings PicassoMD, Inc., a platform that connects healthcare providers for real-time clinical decision support, referrals, and care coordination, and Eventus WholeHealth, the country’s leading provider of primary care and mental health services for medically vulnerable adults, are proud to announce a new partnership that will enable their strategic clinical care teams to connect with local and remote specialists in real-time. PicassoMD and Eventus WholeHealth share a common goal of making access to healthcare available to those who are medically vulnerable. Co-founded by a cardiologist, PicassoMD has revolutionized the way Primary Care Providers (PCPs) deliver care. The platform enables PCPs to access real-time clinical consultations with specialists across more than 30 specialties in under 30 seconds, significantly improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. Additionally, if a referral is necessary, PicassoMD helps seamlessly transition the patient from the PCP to a local specialist, ensuring continuity of care and enhancing patient satisfaction. This partnership has already shown impressive results for Eventus patients: * 70% of Emergency Department (ED) visits were avoided. * 77% of specialist referrals were avoided. * 70% of cases saw a change in clinical behavior based on real-time specialist input. * The average time to connect with a specialist was just 12 seconds. "Through our strategic partnership, Eventus WholeHealth and PicassoMD are setting a new standard in healthcare innovation for individuals in long-term care," said Dr. Reza Sanai, founder and Co-CEO of PicassoMD. "We are dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes and streamlining care coordination, demonstrating our commitment to transforming healthcare with compassion and excellence." “Eventus’ partnership with PicassoMD has been amazing! It allows our clinicians to securely message specialty providers for consultation about difficult cases. I’ve personally connected with various specialists and within minutes had a plan of care to implement the same day. This app enables real-time patient treatment instead of waiting months for an appointment,” said Cathy Parker, NP, VP of Value Based Care Outcomes at Eventus WholeHealth. “These curbside consults directly affect value-based care by providing real-time solutions, coordinating care, and decreasing ER transfers, leading to better quality and cost-effective care for our patients.”
