New preliminary data suggest an experimental asthma app from Apple and Anthem helped reduce emergency department visits among people in the study on Medicaid. https://t.co/9vRkNRrOXD
@chrissyfarr I wouldn’t have been able to found a company just out of my medical training and with two small kids at home, if my husband didn’t have a well paying, stable job.

Her: "Why haven't you left for L.A. yet?"
Me: "Huh? Oh. Yeah. I'm pretty much almost done. It's okay."
*silence*
Her: "But, like is it?"
Me: *sighs* "Me rushing there won't change anything."
Her: "Depends on who you ask."
And after that, we both went back to charting.
1/ Super excited about the new primary care model we’ve been working on @CarbonHealth and have launched in Mass. with @BCBSMA.
Our model brings together things I’ve been dreaming about since exploring primary care at Apple.
We call it Connective Care, and it’s here now. 🧵
1/ Lots of interest in the early outcomes from the @CarbonHealth diabetes program! Our abstract was accepted for presentation at the ATTD conference in Feb, but here is more detail on our results, which demonstrate the power of our integrated care model. 🧵

@ZFramroze @chrissyfarr Agreed! Proving outcomes should be required, but RCT shouldn’t always be required. It can be hard to get a true control (just enrolling in a study increases your awareness of a condition and can result in behavior change). Matched cohorts are another option.
“The greatest athletes don't simply win. They challenge our assumptions and change our world for the better. There is no more fitting description for Serena Williams than that.”
“She will be remembered as one of the greatest athletes of all time for her triumphs on the court, of course. But she will be celebrated, and cherished…for the way she forced society to change how it sees and appreciates women, Black women in particular.” https://t.co/gl7ux6MLXn
1/ Today is a big step towards making our omnichannel care promise a reality at @CarbonHealth with the launch of our CGM-based diabetes program that integrates expert endocrinologist care with primary care.

@kitode@BronwynAnn I have definitely had people be surprised to learn from a google search that I am a published author, I’m quick to correct that no, that isn’t me! Nice Twitter meet you @BronwynAnn
My 3 year old has been to school only two days so far this month due to an illness and then school closure.
I love my kids, but I love them a little more when I am not with them 24/7 and also juggling work. Please tell me I’m not alone in this feeling. 😬

Him: "I like the way you look at me."
Me: "Excuse me, sir?"
Him: "I mean. . . I like how your eyes look at me."
His words caught me off guard. I’d only been there a few moments. It seemed misplaced.
Me: "I want to receive that. Tell me what you mean, sir."
🧵 A thread of #MLK speeches, sermons and interviews in which he tells inconvenient truths, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be.
Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary.

This resonates "experts in the field, would be least capable of original thought". Innovators need to partner closely with experts, but are typically not the experts. Highlighted in @CarbonHealth's core values of respect the craft, but also put yourself in a position of insight.
11/ Reading Michael Lewis’s Premonition on the pandemic response was both a revelation and made total sense in retrospect — the cognitive bias was strong that the “experts” had all the answers early on and that EN was an "unproven" technology that no one had validated before.
