Care coordination of older adults shouldn't suck for the individual, their loved ones, or the healthcare system. @techstars alum

@chrissyfarr @LiamKillingstad A crucial strategy (beyond getting away to a warm climate at least twice during the season)... W/in 3 hours of a major storm -- take a long walk in Central Park (or similar city park). It offers unusual solitude and beauty (before turning to dirty slush by hour 15).

[Stephen Farber @stephenfar]

@chrissyfarr Absolutely. Such an important topic and one that few of us know how to optimize.

@chrissyfarr @Farzad_MD @SavageLucia @amalec Adopting a universal patient identifier would be a great compromise, as patient matching and identification would be so much easier.

@CelesteEdman @riazjali @Techstars I’m happy to share my experience as well, @CelesteEdman

Most digital health solutions are developed for the wealthy. They are not built for cashiers at Walmart, they are built for the people working at Google or Apple.

Health equity needs to be taken into account more to prevent only the rich from getting healthier

[Stephen Farber @stephenfar]

@chrissyfarr As always, the community appreciates the contributions that you and @MSchlueterMoore have brought to the health tech world as investors and the fact that your reporting career adds a valuable perspective to what you say.

https://t.co/p2WPg5yt1i. How often do you find a large segment of the population critical to society but unaware of their value? Welcome to the most modest group in America: the informal (or family) caregiver.

[Stephen Farber @stephenfar]

@rikrenard @chrissyfarr And the beauty of it...then is they actually do work...

[Stephen Farber @stephenfar]

@rikrenard @chrissyfarr That's funny. When I describe what we do, I always say it's just dumb if..then statements, and then I'm told to say it's AI...I won't.

Watching CNN in the background as I work. Thank you @CallawayMD for what you and your team are doing in Ukraine. Your work is so meaningful, and your focus on humanity is impactful.

[Stephen Farber @stephenfar]

An area of real need and impact. So many wonder... what happens when I bring a loved one home from skilled nursing or rehab? We're trying at @TheHealthHive #SNF #SkilledNursing https://t.co/3TxEoedz4c?

@morgancheatham I agree. Even if they don't remember the specifics, just being exposed to the issues in order to raise awareness and sensitivity would be hugely beneficial. #caregiving #familyengagement

[Morgan Cheatham, MD @morgancheatham]

what if we taught "caregiving 101" in high school? any schools doing this?

seems like a logical add to the nat'l curriculum to equip future caregivers with basic skills

the % of grads who will become caregivers >>> % that must know the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

[Stephen Farber @stephenfar]

@chrissyfarr Your focus is the right one. Nowadays, capital is available for any "decent" business. Finding the right investor as a long-term partner is about the alignment of interests, mission, personality, and approach. It's a marriage...

@Hadley I rarely use Twitter but I am astounded by how your comment was (mis)interpreted. Your reference to "meaningless job" clearly relates to how an individual defines their job. Many would find my job of building a startup meaningless -- but I love it.
