Mobiquity

On this week’s show, Diana and I sat down with health technology strategist, Nirav Desai, of Mobiquity. Mobiquity is a professional services firm trusted by hundreds of companies to be their mobile engagement provider. On a global scale, the trends, strategy, users, platforms, technology, development, organizational issues of mobile are complicated. Mobiquity eliminates the complexity.

We talked about how important the Mobile component is for all enterprises today, including healthcare. The ACA has created requirements for providing patients with access to portals where they can connect with their health providers and get access to their health data. Mobiquity helps health enterprises create more effective applications and platforms for handling this requirement as well as better outcomes for population health management.

Nirav shared some troubling statistics (~125,000 people/year die due to incorrectly taking their medications). We discussed how mobile technology and applications can promote better adherence to prescribed care by notifying providers if patients are taking meds as directed as well as giving providers access to real time patient data remotely.

Additionally, technology platforms can facilitate making decisions about care plans by showing aggregate data across a practice’s patient population as a whole. In this way, trends may be identified that allow more proactive approaches with the care plan.

We talked about the way mHealth and teleHealth are overlapping now. Previously, telehealth was mainly a way to deliver care to a patient, particularly in mental health. Now, with mobile health, more data can flow from patient to provider and the patient can take a greater part in achieving positive outcomes through engaging with a mobile platform. These mobile platforms can push educational information and reminders to help facilitate care plan compliance. Some telehealth platforms now have mobile components to them that enhance the patient encounter and have more robust data.

Mobiquity is also making available a behavior change platform called Delta IQ, aimed at helping to change patient behaviors such as smoking, alcohol consumption and other health behaviors. The platform “learns” as the user engages with the information, adapting what is displayed to the user to better facilitate effectiveness of suggested interventions.

“Don’t Be Afraid to Talk with the Doc” - The Longstreet Clinic on Eugeria! Radio!

00:00 / 00:33:20

Dr. Jeffrey Garrett, MD, an orthopedic surgeon, joined The Longstreet Clinic (TLC) in early 2015. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Garrett attended medical school at East Carolina University, completing his residency at Wake Forest University and a fellowship in orthopedic trauma at Tampa General Hospital. His specialty is joint replacement, specifically hip replacement. Margaret Spratlin, a native Georgian, has been in the medical profession her entire career and joined TLC in 2014. Both acknowledged that TLC’s strong leadership of CEO Mimi Collins, and their centralized administration allow the physicians and health care practitioners “focus on the patients, not paperwork”.

A new innovated surgical procedure, anterior approach hip replacement, has Dr. Garrett very excited about post-operative outcomes. This procedure inflicts far less trauma to the large muscle groups which greatly improves the recovery time. Many patients are up walking within 24 hours of the surgery and home the next day. Dr. Garrett says, “Patients just recover better if they are in their own home and surroundings!” Though the idea of being discharged so soon after major surgery can be scary, Dr. Garrett believes that it’s really the fear of the unknown that has to be addressed. “It’s an educational process; speaking in a language that is easily understood. Don’t be afraid to talk with the doc.” Data suggests that the number of joint replacements will double in the next twenty years. Dr. Garrett and The Longstreet Clinic coupled with the anterior approach hip replacement procedure is well positioned “to deliver more efficient and high quality medical care in a changing environment.”

If this new procedure or The Longstreet Clinic has captured your interest, find out more on their web site: www.longstreetclinic.com, or call 770-533-4745.

Kevin Mobley with The Ian Thomas Group

Let's Talk Small Business

Kevin Mobley with The Ian Thomas Group

00:00 /

On June 23rd we were joined by Mr. Kevin Mobley of the Ian Thomas Group. With the focus of Cyber Security this month in the Chamber of Commerce, the GMSDC wanted to highlight the real threats and benefits involved in securing organizational data. A veteran in the security space, we could not have chosen a better candidate than Mr. Kevin Mobley to speak on the evolution of cyber security throughout the years, and best practices for companies of any size.

Knowledge about your company’s cyber and software security, Mobley says, is not something CEO’s have the luxury of being absolved from knowing these days. CEO’s need to be aware of just how important it is to keep their systems secure, how to keep them secure, as well as where the real dangers lie.

Mr. Mobley talks to us about his fascinating real-life experiences with major organizations, banks, federal agencies, and small businesses alike. Through an extensive tenure in development and IT, he has seen the results of bad security- from stock prices falling, loss of confidence, to stakeholder pull-out, the cautionary stories are varied, and plenty, he warns.

A huge proponent of being pro-active and building checks and balances into your systems to secure your accounts, whether that be your personal email accounts, your software, or your hardware, the take away from this segment is clear: identifying the weaknesses in your system should be every company’s imperative.
