In this episode, I speak with Lynne Becker, founder of Power of Patients and a board member of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. Lynne shares her journey from knowing little about head trauma to facing it firsthand when both of her daughters suffered serious brain injuries—one so severe that it led to partial vision loss and a spiral into a deep depression. Drawing from her expertise in biostatistics and epidemiology, she discusses the innovative app she created to help individuals track their symptoms and effectively communicate their experiences with doctors. This conversation highlights the urgent need for better self-assessment tools and awareness in head trauma care.
