Episode Title: Cracking the Code on Patient Engagement: Conversational AI with Dan Fox

🗓️ Release Date: May 5, 2025 🎧 Hosts: Dr. Na-Ri Oh & Ian Wendt 🎤 Guest: Dan Fox, Managing Director of Healthcare at Drips

Episode Summary:

In this eye-opening episode, we welcome Dan Fox, a trailblazer in AI-powered patient communication, to explore how proactive outreach and conversational AI are reshaping healthcare engagement. As the Managing Director of Healthcare at Drips, Dan shares how his team is using SMS-based AI to boost patient adherence, improve outcomes, and build trust—even in the face of complex compliance and tech fluency challenges.

From personalized text reminders that get 60–80% response rates to thoughtful strategies for integrating AI without sacrificing patient experience, Dan takes us deep into what’s working (and what’s not) in healthcare communication today. Plus, he shares what excites him most about the future—including AI therapists, ambient scribes, and closing the tech adoption gap in health systems.

🔑 Key Topics Covered:

Why “attention” is the biggest communication challenge in healthcare
How AI-driven SMS is outperforming traditional channels like email and mail
Real-world outcomes: 4.1% improvement in national medication adherence rates
Navigating regulatory complexity with Drips' proprietary “rules engine”
Why many healthcare orgs use “compliance” as a crutch against innovation
Texting seniors? Yes—it works (and they even say “thank you, sweetie” ❤️)
The future of AI in healthcare: from virtual triage to AI therapists

🧠 Notable Quotes:

“We’re not using generative AI in our consumer outreach—because every single word needs to be approved. But we use AI to scale natural conversations.” – Dan Fox

“Trust is everything. We use personalization and omnichannel context to build it—one message at a time.” – Dan Fox

“We don’t want PHI. We just want to start the right conversation.” – Dan Fox

Empowering the Patient Voice: A Deep Dive into Advocacy with Stacey Tinianov

Saison 1 · Épisode 19

lundi 26 août 2024 • Durée 49:26

In this episode, Na-Ri and Ian interview Stacey Tinianov, an independent patient advocate and founder of Advocates for Collaborative Education.

They discuss the importance of patient advocacy, the role of digital health, and the future of patient engagement.

Stacey shares her personal journey into patient advocacy and highlights the gaps in knowledge and understanding she experienced as a breast cancer survivor. She emphasizes the need for human-centered design in healthcare, where patients are at the center of the design, development, and deployment of programs and technologies.

Stacey also discusses the impact of digital platforms on patient engagement and the importance of building relationships and engaging with patients beyond a transactional level. Patient advocacy is a multifaceted field that encompasses various areas, including clinical trial advocacy, research advocacy, and policy advocacy. The future of patient advocacy lies in the expansion of voices and the focus on improving quality of life and survivorship. Advocates play a crucial role in shaping clinical trials, ensuring patient-reported outcomes are considered, and driving policy changes. The ultimate goal is to achieve true partnerships between advocacy and industry, as well as the decentralization of clinical trials.

Patient advocates can effectively communicate by understanding their motivation and goals and tailoring their language to resonate with different stakeholders. The consequences of not getting patient advocacy right include a regression to the frustrating relationship patients had with pharmaceutical companies in the past. However, progress has been made, and patient advocacy has the potential to drive positive change in healthcare.
